Abstract: There is disclosed a crop harvester for strawberries or other fruits or vegetables including a wheeled vehicle, preferably self propelled, adapted to pass along beds or rows of the crop and having a rotating perforated support element with hollow retractible fingers mounted over its perforations; the peripheral speed of the support element is approximately the same as the vehicle wheels. A fan or other air mover supplies vacuum pressure and positive pressure to ducts connected through the interior of said support element to said fingers; those fingers in a direction to contact the crop are connected to vacuum pressure. Fingers preceding such fingers are connected to positive pressure to eject the collected crop onto a conveyor leading to a collection receptacle.
