Schieler Harvester products

This was a modified SSP Harvester model 82. It was purchased by Larry and Darrel Schieler (owners of Schieler Harvester) in 1982. For the 1986 season a cab was added with more modifications and it harvested for the next 6 years. It was then striped to it`s frame and built into a model 788 harvester. The same 4 cylinder turbo diesel John Deer engine runs in it today. Darrel is operating the harvester here during the 1985 season. Here, Darrel and his son Damon are making new modifications to model 82 in Schieler Harvester`s factory for the 1985 season.

This is model 87. It began as a half finished frame started by SSP. It was then finished and redesigned with a air-conditioned cab. At one time it was the fastest one man operating tree harvester in the world! Model 87 is still in use today. It`s only modification to date is Schieler Harvester`s low profile wrap system. Model 87 is owned an operated by Kelly Ivancovich of Terra Bella, CA today.

This is a model 788 harvesting prunes in for the 1995 season. A model 588 Schieler Harvester Bin Carrier is seen in the foreground with Nick Schieler on the operator`s platform, waiting to service bins to the harvester.
