Abstract: A reaping maching for parsley with automatic mechanisms for reaping and bundling parsley while it is moving over a parsley field. A pair of rotating cutter blades cut the plants at their lower stems. The plants are then moved rearward between endless elastic belts and the lower withered leaves removed by comb-like rotating mechanisms. At the end of the belts the parsley plants are bunched by a movable arm and moved to a position where each bunch is tied automatically with string.
