Best ways to improve nut harvesting and processing?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious about how people handle nut harvesting and processing efficiently. I’ve been reading a bit about different tools and methods, and came across a website that shows some equipment for almonds, hazelnuts, and other nuts. Does anyone have experience with mechanized harvesting or cracking machines for home or small-scale farms?

I’m especially interested in learning what actually saves time and effort versus what ends up being more trouble than it’s worth. Any practical tips or personal experiences would be really helpful!
