Main results obtained during the performance harvesting tests carried out with the PC50 in Spain and Germany.

See Table 5 for the analysis of the main factor loading system (LS, either BB, Big Bag; or TB, Tilting Box) and knives type (KT, either d_HSK, discontinous hoe shaped knives, c_HEL, continous helicoidal knives) and their interaction by means of a general linear mixed model adapted to unbalanced datasets where plant species and Counter Rotating Rollers (CRR: V4 (1.65 Hz) for almond and olive and V3 (1.23 Hz) for Peach, Apple and Plum) were considered random factor. Data are means±standad error.
