Doug Bragg Enterprises Ltd. Mechanical Blueberry Harvester consists of a reel-type picking head. The head is side mounted to a tractor in such a manner as to allow the picking head to follow contours of the ground. These machines have been proven to reduce the harvesting costs as much as 50% and are more efficient than hand raking for product recovery.
