PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a soft vegetable harvester which enables a crop to be held and conveyed without causing damage thereto by a posterior conveying part from a steeply-angled conveying part for holding and conveying the crop by the root.SOLUTION: The harvester 1 keeps a traveling machine body 2 having a traveling device 5 loaded with the conveying part 9 in an inclined posture for forming a conveying path 40 along which the crop is held and conveyed from the lower side to the rear and upper side by installing belt-like conveying bands 10 wound on a driving pulley 45 and a driven pulley 43 on either side. A pair of right and left posterior conveying bands 10a, 10a are provided at a gentler angle relative to the conveying bands 10 so as to receive and convey the crop with the leaf apex thereof pinched in a posterior direction from the conveying bands 10 at the end of the conveying part 9. With respect to the conveying path 40, one posterior conveying band 10a is arranged so as to be shifted to the upstream side of the conveying direction relative to the other posterior conveying band 10a.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】作物の根元側を挟持搬送する急傾斜状の搬送部から、後搬送部によって作物を傷めることなく引き継いで挟持搬送することができる軟弱野菜収穫機を提供する。【解決手段】駆動プーリ45と従動プーリ43とに巻き掛けたベルト状の搬送帯10を左右に対設し、作物を下方から後方上方に向けて挟持搬送する搬送路40を形成する搬送部9を、走行装置5を有する走行機体2に傾斜姿勢で搭載する収穫機1であって、前記搬送部9の終端部で搬送帯10から、該搬送帯10より緩やかな傾斜となして葉先側を挟持して作物を引き継いで後方搬送する左右一対の後部搬送帯10a,10aを設けると共に、搬送路40に対し一方の後部搬送帯10aを他方の後部搬送帯10aより搬送上流側にずらして対設する。【選択図】図1
