Abstract: The present disclosure proposes an adjustable hydraulic oil palm harvester (100). An adjustable harvesting pole (104) comprises a lower pole section (106) and an upper extendable pole section (108). A capturing unit (110) mounted on the upper extendable pole section (108) comprises night-vision and motion-detection capabilities and wirelessly transmits visual information for operator assessment of harvesting readiness and cutting alignment. A cutting assembly (112) severs a fruit-bunch stalk. A fruit-bunch retaining and lowering assembly (117) comprises a pulley (118) guiding a flexible tether (120) to secure the fruit bunch before and during cutting and permit manually controlled lowering after separation. A switch assembly (122) receives operator input, and a hydraulic pump (124) supplies hydraulic power to adjust the harvesting pole (104), correspondingly positioning the capturing unit (110), the cutting assembly (112), and the pulley (118).
