Thanks for sharing the video dog !! It's so much fun to watch,i love those harvesting machines,especially the shaker and the sweeper.California is the walnut capitol of the world.I only have five trees to harvest tomorrow.I'm in Gilroy California,we're known for being the garlic capitol of the world,but there's plenty of walnut trees to go around in the areas as well..;))))))

@SithSereyPheap1 Thanks Man, Gilroy is a beautiful area and I like the smell when they are harvesting the garlic. It makes me think something's cookn'. Good luck with the harvest!

@Knikc1926 That's awesome! It always starts sooner than I think it's going to. I wish you and your machines much speed and few breakdowns

Dear Mr. Michael, could you please tell us which surface is served by the machines you presented?

Do you have terraced slopes in your walnut orchard? Are these slopes possible to be harvested mechanizes upon your experience?

Congratulation for the videos which are very well realised.

@rtiganasu I am glad you enjoy the video. Most of the land here is flat but the shaker has a low gear for hills. Newer shaker's breaks will automatically apply when the hydrostat is not in use--which prevents the machine from rolling on hills. On extreme hills farmers have put "Best Shakers" & "cable shakers" on small Caterpillars. In Hawaii, Macadamia farmers harvest on hills and like the "3 Wheel Drive Ramacher JD48" to pick up the nuts. Search online for a website called Colombo Equipment

@ekremvllasa1 It takes about 5 years for walnut trees to mature and produce nuts. The trees you see in the video are about 14 years old but we have some trees that are about 100 years old. Few walnut trees in the US live longer than 50 years because of the disease “black line.” Most nut harvesting equipment is manufactured in California: Flory, Weiss McNair, OMC... Search online for “Colombo-Walnut-Harvesting-Equ­ipment.” He has picture and prices of used machines on his website.
