A device for harvesting fruit or vegetables including a pickup unit and vibration means for imparting arcuate vibratory motion to the pickup unit for gathering, stripping and conveying the fruit or vegetables to a collecting unit. A sickle bar is positioned below the upper ends of spaced apart teeth provided on the pickup unit for cutting the stems of the plants as the plants move rearwardly through the spaced apart teeth. Cutting action is imparted to the sickle bar by a linkage connecting the oscillating pickup unit, the sickle bar and the frame of the device. An air elevator is provided rearwardly of the spaced apart teeth and sickle bar so that the stems and leafy material which have been separated from the plants can be blow upwardly and rearwardly from the fruit or vegetables as the fruit or vegetables are being conveyed rearwardly to the collection unit.
