Overview
The FR 104 is an industrial harvester designed for collecting fresh vegetables and medicinal/aromatic herbs. Built for field operations, it integrates a Stage 5 John Deere 4-cylinder 100 HP engine, hydrostatic transmission and an "Automotive" function for safe travel on roads.

Main uses

• Harvests: vegetables and medicinal/aromatic plants (examples: parsley, basil, spinach, sage, lavender, rosemary, chamomile, nettle)
• Environment: outdoor field operations
• Sectors: food industry (fresh/frozen produce), herb processing
• Collection container: fixed rear dump
• Locomotion: wheeled

Key features and benefits

• Full motor coverage to protect the engine area from foliage during harvesting
• Optimised loading belt with increased inclination to assist product ascent
• Large-capacity fixed rear dump with chain-and-stud system for efficient ground unloading
• Hydrostatic transmission for precise speed and drive control
• Electronically controlled 4-wheel drive with joystick control and hydraulic steering
• Multi-function dashboard and closed soundproof cab with air recirculation for operator comfort and control

How it’s built
The FR 104 uses a hydrostatic drive and a double mowing bar with hydraulically operated blades in two sizes. Cutting height is adjusted via a hydraulic device to maintain consistent working height without damaging crops or ground. Cutting equipment weight is adjustable to suit different products.

Loading system
The loading system offers two options: a food-grade rubber belt (recommended for short-leaf vegetables such as spinach, parsley, basil) or reentering springs (recommended for long-leaf or bulky products such as medicinal herbs or chamomile). The fixed loading dump features a chain with studs for controlled product unloading onto the ground.
