A device for harvesting root fruits located in the ground, having:

• a support frame,
• at least one pair of uprooting shares mounted on the support frame, which are designed to convey root fruits located in the ground out of the ground,
• wherein the pair of uprooting shares defines a central plane (M-M) between them,
• wherein the uprooting shares are mounted movably on the support frame in a transverse direction (QR) to a harvesting direction (ER) of the harvesting device,
• characterized in,
• that the harvesting device has a guide device, which is designed
• to detect the position of a root fruit located in the ground and to be harvested and
• to guide the pair of uprooting shares in the transverse direction (QR) with respect to the root fruit to be harvested in the direction of a centered position.
