Mechanical blossom thinner CT 80

for fruit

Short description
The CT 80 is a single-sided fruit thinner with a column frame designed for mechanical fruit thinning and leaf canopy management in orchards. It mounts on the tractor front on a 2nd category lifter and is compatible with multiple interchangeable Lotti tools. For safe parking after work, the unit can be placed on a dedicated stand.

Main features
The column includes a 1000 mm (100 cm) vertical ram allowing work across the full canopy height. The column can tilt positively and negatively to ease entry and exit from rows and to centralise the tool. Multiple hydraulic cylinders enable lateral and horizontal tilting so the thinner adapts to different orchard layouts. The machine requires a hydraulic flow of 20–25 L/min and is operated via an electro-hydraulic joystick from the tractor cabin for all movements.
