Awesome. I used to hand cut rocket, spinach etc for 4 hours every morning. This would have saved heaps of time, and more than a few band aids.

[@MongrelShark]

Yep pretty much. Now I have to deal with my hurt ego by trying to gaffa tape this harvester to a push bike....

[@MongrelShark]

LMAO!

[@MongrelShark]

LOL. The Microsoft business plan.

[@MongrelShark]

Maybe we should get monsanto to try it?

[@jonsanford0]

I would want a extendable handle. It hurts my back just to watch.

[@ranstar999]

Needs a longer handle and a roller or wheels. Terrible position to be harvesting! Back killer! Just a suggestion. :-)

[@lasersaber]

What a beautiful and helpful invention for farmers. I am glad to see that you started a youtube channel. I will follow your work.

[@JohnMcHugh]

thanks for the share

[@RightOne1]

This can be powered by wheels itself, like the early manual lawn mowers. And the handles need extensions so that a standing position can be maintained. Working in standing position is ten times easier than bent one. A light detachable collector will be much handier than lifting and overturning the whole machine.

[@Mr_Ravee]

Exactly, had the same thoughts in mind,lets see if i can design a wheel spin micro harvester.

[@vita2200]

Build it!

[@AmyBergeytheQuickBooksGuru]

Great Idea. Now add a handle that will allow you to do this standing upright so you don't have to kill your back.

[@HackThePlanetNow]

Amy Bergey add one with some wood or PVC seems simple enough

[@joshuahavens4059]

I feel the price point for this apparatus is extremely high. Can you kindly justify the almost $700 cost? Thank you!

[@robutubemacarthur]

Looks like it could use a harness like some trimming saws have. And possibly a wheel on the far side maybe behind and inside the cutting area

[@iralolley8787]

about a foot wider rigged up on bike wheels with an adjustable height thing looks awesome

[@dolphinsbarb]

This is awesome. I get microgreens from a local farmer. She uses this. But also she had a hand one she used at the Farmer's Market. Cut fast, clean, and no dirt on my greens. I was telling another microgreen farmer about this lady as he does his with a knife and gets much dirt into the greens. So do you have a small one they can use AT the market also? I know she had one I saw her use also. Let me know as I told the one farmer about this device but it wasn't this big one. It was one she had with her at the market. Thanks so much!

[@joshg3681]

Put some 4 wheel on the side, extend the drill bit, height adjustment mechanism, and have the bin be removable, would make it even better

Thank you for the information

[@yhadzayque3638]

I love gardening too, I have small one, where I get veges for the feeding program for kids❤️

[@havenbastion]

You've got to figure out a way to hold that to the side instead of leaning over from the top. That's a back-breaker.

[@Rattlerjake1]

It could be made with a regular reel mower, and an attached collection bag. Then simply plant the rows the same width as the wheels on the mower. The reel mower blades could be re-engineered to cut the leaves without damaging them. What is sad is the price they want for this; and they would charge 2000 for one with wheels? And you still have to provide the drill!! It's always about MONEY!

[@squirehaggard4749]

@@Rattlerjake1This isn’t a charity. They’re selling it to businesses that will use it to significantly lower their own labor costs. If it’s too expensive, they won’t buy it. If they do buy it it’s because they will make more money by using it. But I guess you think the government should give everyone a free one….

[@lovemorenk6501]

Why I know this channel just this year😤I love it

[@SK-eb5gt]

on one side there can be an adjustable wheel and a push cart style method. the machine will get only one wheel so you can manuelly adjust based on the ground dementions

[@luisj.serrano5821]

this thing needs to be longer and have a couple wheels

[@ClassicAustralia]

Thanks for posting I enjoyed your video. Cheers.

[@tangobayus]

Basically a great idea, but an ergonomic nightmare because you have to bend over and hold it. Next version should have wheels and just roll over the standard width row.

[@ward26102]

Saves a lot of time, but the ergonomics are bad for the back. Please consider a model on wheels with adjustable height and perhaps different widths also. I'd be willing to pay quite a bit more to save my back. Thank you for your invention

[@tehsmalcom]

Do deadlifts

[@ankitaggarwal4470]

I heard from few market gardeners that big leaves cannot be cut from this with a clean cut and may oxidise the stem and make it look black/brown. is this true?

[@blogosphere3604]

What about bruising? How many harvests do you get from a plant?

[@stanhawkes3569]

How does it handle sunflower hulls?

[@WITHREMSAM]

[@tigerpanama8700]

Need to know for a plant harvester like basil

[@HansJrgenFurfjord]

You need ropes that are not made from nylon or fabrics containing anything else than wool or cotton. Using nylon ropes sprinkles the microgreens with a shower of microplastics and a shower of nanoplastics (one harms cells from the outside, the other harms cells from the inside). Nylon is as much plastics as any other plastic. All plastics consist of carcinogenic chemicals that are released in the body in addition to the mechanical damage the plastic particles cause. The amount of microplastics released this way is extremely small, but that's the thing with microplastics and certain chemicals, they accumulate. Plastic packaging around food is enough to contaminate it considerably, and this device even exposes plastics to friction, which releases a lot more microplastics.

[@724Mouse]

Its so hard to believe that tools like this are only now being developed..

[@mohamedabdulraouf7682]

Is it works with stevia leaves?

[@MrCodix]

how do you clean the device? I can imagine those ropes will get dirty after a while

[@FarmersFriend]

Here is an article on how to do that: support.farmersfriendllc.com/kb/article/62-how-do-i-sanitize-my-quick-cut-greens-harvester/

[@knass8232]

love it

[@cristafir]

Even easier...how about something closer to a lawn mower. Adjustable wheels (up and down and left and right). Then an extended handle to push along like a lawn mower. This looks a little awkward having the worker in a bent over position...even though it's an improvement over old methods. If you haven't thought of this change....then play with it...before someone else does.

[@philippechevereau9818]

Why is the height not adjusted and the basket / cutter supported by wheels?

[@robutubemacarthur]

Will it work with low bush blueberry harvest.

[@jensentobey2988]

[@rebeccalankford2652]

How much does it weigh? Still bending over. Seems like it would damage the leaves too. Why not just use a form of a scythe then suck the up with a large type of shock vac, maybe a backpack version?

[@FarmersFriend]

The Quick Cut Greens Harvester is actually extremely gentle on the greens. A vacuum would definitely be more rough on the greens. The macrome brush used in the harvester is very soft on the ends, so you shouldn't experience any bruising of the crop. The entire machine is quite light too! Just over 6lbs, or slightly more than a 15" laptop.

[@rebeccalankford2652]

@@FarmersFriend How does a lawn mower bag grass? Cut and bag? Think between a scythe and a push reel with banging action . Cut and slide into bag/tray. Wheels raised/adjusted to desired cutting height and width for even straight cuts. IDK just a thought. lol Best wishes. Sell between 40 to 100 depending on quality of function and materials. If your engineers make something like that be sure to send me one plus 2% of sales, lol I need a hamburger with lettuce. lol Name it mean green cutter. Logo greens with teeth in biting action. lol

Hurts my back just looking at this thing. It would be really easy to make this more ergonomically acceptable. And why an electric drill. Having an electric motor with a simple on/off switch would give you far more control. Looks like a prototype instead of a finished product.

[@TheJunkyardgenius]

As Don malicoat said, $500+ for what it is, is way overpriced. its a metal frame, an electric bread knife and a spinning mop, this should retail for about $80. better yet just knock one up unself.

[@shadfurman]

respectfully, your name is the junk yard genius. YOU can knock one together, but you don't understand supply/demand economics. Its a little complicated than a weed eater, which is $100 bucks at walmart. BUT how many people need a weed eater vs. how many people need a greens harvester. I think you actually don't WANT to hack one together, but you only want to pay $80, which means you don't actually need one. Because it's only worth $80 to YOU does not mean it's only worth $500. You don't sell something for the cost in parts + labor, you sell something for what it is worth to your target audience.

[@shadfurman]

Hell my fricken electric razor cost more than $80!!!

[@kbkesq]

shadfurman LOL great attempt to inject some basic economics into this discussion. Also worth noting if JYgenius builds one now, he could be looking at a $100,000 patent infringement case. ;-)

[@howtoguro]

I agree with genius. It's a pretty simple design, but let's bring some economics into this. Farmers usually don't have the disposable income to buy such a tool, but they do have a lower opportunity cost and a higher level of mechanical problem solving than the average person. It's pretty natural they would jerry-rig a more *economic* solution.
