Abstract: A SELF-PROPELLED FRUIT HARVESTER UNIT HAVING A FRAME AND A FRUIT-CATCHING APRON MOUNTED FOR EXTENSION TOWARD A TREE TO BE HARVESTED AND RETRACTION INTO A TRANSPORT POSITION. A CONVEYOR ON THE FRAME COLLECTS FRUIT FROM THE APRON AND CONVEYS IT TO A FOLDABLE CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY WHICH CONVEYS IT UPWARDLY TOWARD A COLLECTION POINT ON THE UNIT. THE FOLDABLE CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY IS MOUNTED ON THE FRAME SO AS TO PIVOT OR FOLD AS THE FRAME IS EXTENDED AND RETRACTED. EXTENSION CATCHER ASSEMBLIES AND A GAP CLOSER APRON ARE PIVOTALLY MOUNTED ON THE FRAME AND PROVIDE SLOPING SURFACES FOR GRAVITY FEEDING OF FRUIT TO THE CONVEYOR. HYDRAULIC MEANS ARE OPERABLE TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP THE EXTENSION OF THE FRAME AND TO POSITION THE EXTENSION CATCHER ASSEMBLIES AND GAP CLOSER APRON IN RESPONSE TO ENGAGEMENT OF THE FRAME WITH A TREE TO BE HARVESTED.
