Abstract: Aiming at problems of high labor intensity，low efficiency and poor safety guarantee of apple harvesting and transportation in modern dwarf rootstock dense planting orchard，a modern orchard operation platform was designed and manufactured.The platform adopted full hydraulic drive system，front wheel steering and rear wheel driving，and had characteristics of low speed and large torque.Lifting and unloading of fruit box and platform could be realized by lifting of hydraulic cylinder.Performance tests of prototype such as climbing，turning and walking were carried out，and relevant indexes met design requirements.Results showed that prototype lifted 1.3 m，maximum driving speed was 8 km/h，minimum turning was 4 m，platform width was 3 m and shape space size met practical requirements，and it was suitable for operation mode of modern dwarf rootstock dense planting orchard.
