PRE-PRUNING
MACHINES
REDUCE
HAND PRUNING COSTS!
The pre-prunner or pruning
machine is operated by one person, and utilizing a unique cutting mechanism
to pre-prune vine cane growth off one to two rows of vineyard trellis wire
without damage to the vines or trellis system. The pre-prunner can be attached
to a standard vineyard tractor or tracklayer tractor to accommodate wet
winter ground.
The unique cutting elements
can be arranged in many configurations to work in a wide variety of trellis
types. Three basic heads are available- one for vertical type trellis system,
one for Concord-trellis and one for trellis that have cross-arms as wide
as 42", including quad systems.
The pre-prunner's will
cover one to three acres per hour/ per head, depending upon row spacing
and vineyard conditions. Average tractor speed is 1.5 to 3.5 MPH. The pre-prunner
is sold with its own self-contained electro-hydraulic system. The cutter/
mulching discs roll through the trellis and pre-prune off all canes above
the level of the bottom cutter; only canes growing vertical will be pruned
off. Vineyard trellis wire, running horizontally, will flow over or under
the cutter disc without marking or cutting the wires.
These pre-prunner are produced in the United States of America and
are specially designed for vigorous vineyards. Our Engineering staff
will help you with your specifics needs.
