Abstract: A picking head suitable for use with a harvester, which includes a mobile carriage. The picking head comprises a support frame having a support frame axis which in the operative position extends generally in the same direction as the normal line of travel of the harvester and link means operatively connected to the mobile carriage of harvester when in the operative position. The link permits lateral vibrational movement of the support frame with respect to the direction of said support frame axis. The support frame is adapted to have secured thereto harvesting elements which, in the operative position are secured to the support frame so that the lateral vibrational movement of the support frame causes lateral vibrational movement of the harvesting elements.
