When you’re growing crops such as fruits and vegetables that must be harvested by hand to avoid damage, or any other crop that requires manual weeding and maintenance – the most common (and understandable) complaint is the intense strain that this activity causes when constantly bending over.
Over many hours, neck and back pain are all but inevitable. That is, unless you have a Crop Care solar-powered Picking Assistant.
One of the most unique, yet ingenious pieces of farm machinery, the picking assistant is a shaded, solar powered, horizontal platform that can tackle long days and rough fields – and most importantly, save your back when picking or maintaining crops.
Featuring dual high-torque gear motors, an all-weather canopy, solar charging system, and a 2-year limited warranty, the Crop Care Picking Assistant makes harvesting not only comfortable, but more fun! Another main feature is the exceptional range of motion this platform provides – with both height and width adjustment and enough torque to handle uneven ground.
Specifications:

- Picking height adjustment: 20” - 30”
- Width adjustment: 36” - 60”
