  Further, the bucket 5 is put into a discharge state by being charged with a fruit from the input space 52A provided in the side wall 52 during the harvesting operation, and rotating at the rising limit position while the bucket 5 is raised during the discharging operation. Therefore, the upper end position of the bucket 5 can be lowered, and thereby the center of gravity of the bucket 5 can be lowered.

  Therefore, by reducing the weight of the bucket 5 and lowering the center of gravity of the bucket 5, it is possible to improve the stability of the harvester A during traveling and during the harvesting operation.

  Moreover, since the fruit is introduced into the bucket 5 from the insertion space 52A provided in the side wall 52 of the bucket 5, the highest position of the chute 32 can be lowered, and this also allows the harvester A The stability at the time of running and harvesting can be improved.
