August-September is the time of harvest and a kind of test of the body for strength. Most of all, when harvesting, the lower back suffers, since most of the harvest takes place from the ground – fallen fruits of fruit trees or dug up fruits of potatoes.
Even the healthiest person will not be able to withstand the daily harvest, especially if the plot is large, let alone the elderly and people with back pain.
To facilitate and speed up the collection of fruits from the ground, harvesting rolls are used. They are also called pickers or collecting rolls. They help to quickly harvest without bending or back pain.
How the collection takes place:
- The pickers is fixed on the holder. The holder is standard, like for a shovel and is not included in the kit, you can buy it in the market or in an agricultural tool store.
- To collect, it is enough to roll in the place of accumulation of fruits. At this moment, the knitting needles will move apart and the fruits will be inside the roll.
- Unloading takes place using a special triangle. It is included in the kit and is attached to the collection container.
Depending on the size of the fruit, pickers are:
– For collecting hazelnuts and fruits with a diameter of 0.5-2 cm
– For picking walnuts and fruits with a diameter of 2-5 cm
– For picking for apples and fruits with a diameter of 4-10 cm
Harvesting rolls save time and effort, speed up harvesting and, most importantly, protect the lower back from constant bends.
