The Terral Mechanical Vine Trimmer is a front-mounted machine designed for mechanical pruning of vineyards, providing fast, precise cuts with four saws and multiple adjustments to suit different vine training systems.

Product overview

• Function: TERRAL trimmers perform mechanical pruning of vines and are suitable for precision mechanical pruning, Royat cord pruning and goblet pruning, concentrating pruning operations into a short timeframe.
• Use: Intended for the pruning season (December–March). Recommended for hardened wood with descending sap to ensure clean, precise cuts. Shoot length does not affect machine performance.
• Operation: High rotation speed and sharp saws deliver clean cuts. Four saws offer high precision. Multiple adjustment points allow adaptation to all vineyard types designed for mechanical pruning.
• Mounting: Front-mounted on the tractor, enabling combination with a rear implement (e.g., Terral shredder or soil-working tool). Can be paired with a hydraulic power pack if tractor flow is insufficient and is capable of working a full row.
• Forward speed: 1–3 km/h depending on shoot stiffness and inter-row flatness.
