The Autumn and Winter pruning season is fast approaching. This is the busiest season for hands-on tasks in the vineyard. In face of continuing shortage of skilled workers this season, operators will likely rely on machinery to play an essential role in this years pruning season.
To help negate some of the challenges faced by the labour shortage, Landlogic has several KMS Rinklin Pre-Pruners/Barrel Pruners in stock. These German-built machines can be customised to work for most tractor set-ups and vineyard conditions, and significantly reduce manual pruning requirements and worker fatigue.
The robust knives, made of stainless cutlery steel, move in such a way that it is impossible to cut through the wires, and the superior post-detection system means operators can prune much lower than if using a vineyard trimmer. Sensitive feelers identify upcoming posts and trigger sensors that open and shut the cutting heads automatically.
The system works for all post types; wood, metal or plastic, and unlike designs that rely on light sensors to trigger the open/close function, KMS Rinklin Pre-Pruners can be used on vines with or without foliage.
The post-detection system is also easily programmed by the operator, in the cab, to suit different ground speeds, and terrain where post angles vary (uphill or downhill).
With plant health in mind, KMS Rinklin has developed an ‘Exact-Disc’ bottom cutting knife which provides a cleaner cut, in comparison to a standard star/saw set-up, which improves the plant healing process.
