A hydraulic mobile cart for produce harvesting that provides shade and places an operator in close proximity to a ground surface for efficient and relatively low impact harvesting of produce. An upper canopy covers the operator and picking areas adjacent to the sides of the hydraulic mobile cart, and also includes solar panels for charging a battery which powers a hydraulic drive motor. The seating area includes a cushioned sliding seat for the comfort of the operator, a footrest with a motion push button, a steering wheel for directional control, and a hand lever for forward and reverse operation. An oil catch pan is positioned underneath the battery and the drive motor to catch any liquids that could possibly leak from the motor or the battery to protect crops from contamination. The frame also supports harvesting containers and may include interchangeable plates for various harvesting container types.
