Generally around $180-$250K for a blueberry or raspberry harvester.  Our Grape and Olive harvesters which are our other big market are $300-$350K.

Christ that's cheap. They should start making combines. My salesman brought out a demo the other day and I almost had a heart attack when he told me the price.

Oxbo is actually a much larger company that purchased "Korvan" back in the early '00s for the raspberry, blueberry & grape harvesters.  The other manufacturing locations build much bigger and much more expensive Corn and vegetable harvesters that would give you that same sort of heart attack :P

I am still an ME from UF 1999 grad working for a company that makes inspection/Reverse engineering devices.  Here is a snip of what I worked on today as a demo video on how to reverse engineer parts.  This is a laser mounted to the end of a FARO arm that scans data to the .001" or so of an inch.

Thanks, it really is, but car parts would have been much cooler for this forum this is a piece of my gate that broke off.
Here is the model made from the original part and how the 3d printer varied from the model.

Another ME checking in. I design big ole poop tanks. Injection molded septic tanks, to be more specific. We're currently over half of the US market for septic systems and chances are there's one ofof our products in your or your neighbor's yard. We currently make the world's largest injection molded plastic part, which is a 1500 gallon septic tank.
