  • Patent number: 8534035
    Abstract: A high through-put cotton harvesting system for selectively harvesting cotton from a plurality of selected cotton plants in a field, wherein the system includes a self-propelled mobile platform that is structured and operable to be driven through a field of cotton, and a compressor disposed on the mobile platform. The system additionally includes a plurality of plant picker assemblies that are extendable from the mobile platform. Each plant picker assembly is structured and independently operable to utilize a vacuum force, generated via the compressor, to extract cotton bolls from one or more cotton plants growing in the field as the mobile platform is driven through the field and deposit the extracted cotton bolls into a selected collection receptacle.
