This paper reports the results of tests carried out in a super-intensive olive grove using the new towed model of the harvester produced by the Pellenc Company. Unlike the selfpropelled harvesters commonly used in olive groves, this machine needs of a tractor of suitable power for its displacement and for the feeding of hydraulic control and electrical devices necessary for the operation (shakers groups, conveyor, proximity probes, etc.). The obtained results of tests carried out showed that the performance of the towed Pellenc CV5045 is in line with those obtained with the common self-propelled over-the-row harvesters. The tested machine, coupled to tractor and governed by hydraulic devices, that control its alignment with respect to the soil and vegetation, has a less easy manoeuvrability than the corresponding self-propelled model, so requiring a considerable experience and attention of the tractor driver.
