'Nut Wizard' nut and fruit harvesters
At the ART we discovered these fantastic examples of small scale technology a
couple of years ago, and we now do all our nut harvesting with them.
These
high quality, hand crafted tools are designed to pick up almost any object 5mm
to 100mm (1/4" to 4") in diameter, depending on the size of wizard.
The tool weighs 2.5kg (5 1/2 lb) and is 1.5m (5') long.
You roll the nut wizard over the ground and the spring wire spreads and flips
the object in the basket. Very
little pressure is needed and it is easily operated by anyone. Included with the
tool is a spreader which attaches to any standard bucket; when the wizard basket
is full, you push basket over spreader, separating the wires and objects fall
out.
We
have found that nut harvesting is 3 to 4 times faster using nut wizards (that’s
for hazels, chestnuts and walnuts) compared with hand picking.
There are 4 sizes
large (walnuts, apples, pears)
medium (chestnuts, small apples)
small (hazels)
extra small (acorns).
Delivery charges are as for plants and if ordered with plants there is no extra
delivery cost.
Price (any model): £44.00 plus delivery.
