A device for harvesting vegetables comprises a bucket loader and a conveyor system. The bucket loader may include a pad, which may cushion the impact of vegetables, when transferring vegetables from a bucket to a conveyor. The conveyor may comprise transverse and longitudinal conveyor belts and/or rollers for delivering the vegetables to bins on a truck or flat bed trailer. The bucket loaders may be operatively coupled to a mechanism for raising and lowering the bucket loaders, intermittently or continuously. For example, a registration and tracking system keeps track of the number of buckets and/or amount of produce picked by a picker.
