<br/><br/> The cost of harvesting olive is probably the major factor in determining whether or not there will be an economically successful season for most farmers. Manual harvesting of fruit accounts for 30 to 60% of the total production costs. The aim of the present study was to design, construct and evaluate a hand-held harvester for olive tree. With the purpose of increasing the mechanization level of the harvest operation and permitting the production of high quality oil; the design was based on the following criteria: using local raw materials in the manufacture of the equipment. Providing simple design and easy in operation. The design is made considering all the mechanical.
