Olive Harvester
Straddles olive rows to harvest ripe olives.
What it is used for
Straddles olive rows to harvest ripe olives.
How to operate it
Align with the row, activate the harvester and drive steadily; unload to a suitable trailer.
Selection and setup
Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.
Operating procedure
Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.
Before you buy or lease
Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.
Compatibility & attachments
This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.
| Compatible connection / attachment | Used for | Important notes |
|---|---|---|
| Olive orchard rows | Harvest olives from mature olive rows. | Keep orchard spacing suitable for the harvester. |
Procedure
- Use this machine only when the olive crop is fully harvest-ready inside its seasonal harvest window.
- Prepare/unfold the machine and make sure any required receiving trailer or pallet/bale handling equipment is available before the first pass.
- Align with the first row/edge, lower/activate the harvesting unit and work at its rated speed.
- Keep the machine correctly centred on rows where the crop system requires row-following.
- Monitor onboard capacity/output handling and unload or collect output before it blocks continued harvesting.
- Finish with careful headland passes so crop at the edges is not left behind.

Practical tips
- Maintain lane vegetation and fertilisation before harvest for best results.
