Vineyard pruning machine MULTIVITI series

mountedhydraulic

Overview
MULTIVITI is a single adaptable chassis designed to accept multiple vineyard implements, enabling year-round vineyard operations with rapid tool changes. Attachment and detachment are quick and can be performed by one operator, improving operational efficiency and machine utilisation.

Key benefits

• Five PELLENC MULTIVITI tools cover pre-pruning, pruning, trellising, leaf removal and trimming operations.
• Innovative MULTIVITI coupling system enables a single operator to attach or detach tools in under three minutes.

Ergonomic control

• Controls positioned within easy reach for the operator.
• Ergonomic 13-button joystick for direct access to functions.
• Automatic reassignment of joystick functions according to the connected tool.
• Backlit display shows settings and active functions clearly.

Safety and reliability

• Mechanical locking of tool coupling by two locking rods.
• Hydraulic and electrical connections are accessible at a working height for safe and quick linking.
• Safety cylinder allows tool release in case of entanglement.
• 12V socket on top of the chassis for powering a work light for night operations.

Quick coupling

• Coupling and uncoupling performed in approximately three minutes.
• All hydraulic connectors are located on the MULTIVITI chassis coupling plate for simplified hookups.
• Tools can be powered and secured using the chassis hydraulics.

MULTIVITI 20 and 40

• MULTIVITI 20: compact front-mounted chassis suitable for inter-row widths from 1.60 m. For tools requiring hydraulic flow beyond the tractor supply, an optional separate hydraulic power pack is available.
• MULTIVITI 40: modular rear 3-point-mounted chassis providing enhanced stability and visibility; this model is equipped with its own hydraulic power pack.

MULTIVITI 2 hydraulic power unit
The MULTIVITI hydraulic power pack increases hydraulic capacity without changing tractors, offering a pump flow up to 76 l/min. An oil cooler is fitted as standard. A central or lateral weight holder is available as an option.

Tilt correction
Two options are available to compensate for sloping vineyards or rows bent by wind; both are offered as options to improve cutting geometry on uneven ground.

Filtration
A hydraulic filter is fitted as standard on the chassis to protect tools from contamination and extend component life.
