Isn The Schieler Harvester slower than a boom shaker?
No, actually the 988 can harvest about the same speed. Even a first season driver can harvest a steady 4 trees a minute, with no trouble. Some boom shaker manufactures make claims to 5 trees a minute, but our calculations are based on daily acreage, not just one row. Besides, it takes far more time to sweep your almonds, and over twice as long to pick them up.
