Harvesting mechanism integrating manual crop picking with automated full-container pallet accumulation

A mobile multiple-height harvester machine for crops comprising in combination,

• a powered wheel chassis having a primary propulsion power source and an equipment power source and control unit,
• an adjustable operator platform having access movement controls for crop terrain extending from said chassis,
• an operator seat and controls on the said platform for orientation and picking of crops,
• a multi-access automated container handling unit,
• a product container dispenser having a multiple container receiving guided powered enclosure, a sequential vertical distribution of individual containers to a conveyor in communication with said powered enclosure for providing empty containers to an operator and a powered articulated extension arm, an arm tool on the free end of said articulated arm for grasping product containers, and arm control positional sensors for transferring containers to pallet indexer of for product containers having pairs of vertically spaced pallet engagement rails moving sequentially from a first pallet loading position to a second unloading pallet access position powered by an independent electric motor.
