Abstract: The present invention is characterized in that in a vegetable harvesting machine, primarily a sweet pepper harvesting machine, comprising a frame which mounts lifters designed to align the plants being harvested and guide them onto a fruit remover provided with an eccentric drive, and further comprising a system of conveyers for delivering the removed fruits outside the machine, said fruit remover is constructed as two walkers installed some distance apart and arranged to oscillate in antiphase, said walkers being attached to the lifters at one end and to the eccentric drive at the other. Each of said walkers is constructed as a rigid plate tapering toward the lifters. The throat between the walkers is adjustable.
