The vineyards are in need of machining operations periodically to be robust and staying healthy: one of these is the topping, an operation that involves cutting of a part of the vegetation in order to give more breath to the plant and a regular production. This step can be carried out both in the summer and in the winter, but what makes the difference is certainly the quality of the machinery that applies to the processing, and determines the success, timing and the level of perfection.

In this article, we delve into what features to consider when choosing a device to the vineyards effective and innovative.

Shearing of the screws: a technique essential to

The topping is an operation of great benefit to the screw, in fact, through the summer pruning is carried out in the months from may to August , you can remove the unwanted partsof green that are likely to steal too much energy and saps vital to the plant. Through this clearing, in August and September it will be possible to carry out a harvest fruitful and full.

In that way, then, it is possible to perform this task? The shearing is the ideal tool for cut the branches of the vines in a fast, secure and optimal. This machine is mounted on the front of the tractor, while runs along the side of the vineyard, allows the device to remove the vegetation in excess through the blades of the cutting bars of which it is composed.  

according to the type of land on which you must work and the time of year in which it is carried out the pruning (green in the summer, dry in winter) the shearing machines for the vineyard may have different characteristics in such a way to adapt to the specific circumstances of use.

The range of shearing machines BFM: you need a solution,

Just on the basis of different needs, the BFM has developed a wide range of machinery for pruning and shearing.

For the green pruning in plantations in rows, the best solutions are the shearing CM-S and CM-SN  suitable for cutting in space is very low and is more spacious. The same cutting bars are used by the CM-SD, with the presence of a new movement that allows you to do very well, cutting to the inside of the rows on both sides.

The shearing CM-SF is suitable for both pruning and seasonal, to a maximum diameter of 18mm and with 4 movements available from the pantograph system. A flat land? With the bilateral model CM-SD can not go wrong: it is able to operate on two levels of outcomes on variable slopes, making it better in the presence of soil to adjust.

A model, in particular, lends itself perfectly to summer pruning, thanks to the different elements that compose it: the shearing synchronized CM-SN.

Shearing CM-SN: for a clean, precise, even the green young

A problem that often arises during the cutting of the vegetation green is the repository of the sap that accumulates in the blade and limits the ability of severing. This does not happen with the machine BFM model CM-SN with special blades in stainless steel and mirror polished. Thanks to these characteristics, the lymph tends to slip from the blade after cutting, avoiding imbrattarla and providing a cut and always a net, from the beginning to the end of the operation on the screws.

Other peculiarities advantageous of this machine are:

• The cutting bar has adjustable straps that limits slippage when it is in the presence of a thick vegetation and woody.
• The hydraulic motors for the rotation of the blades ensure a higher reliability of the machine.
• Can be adjusted with multiple configurations: control levers with a hydraulic distributor, or joystick control with an electro-hydraulic distributor must for tractors with cabs.

Conclusion

there Are several factors to consider to choose the device to the vineyards most suitable to their own reality. Not only it is good to evaluate the slope of the ground, and the space between the rows, but also the amount of vegetation present and the period in which you want to apply. BFM offers a quality solution for every occasion: for the pruning of green summer, in particular, the shearing CM-SN has the winning features that simplify and speed up the operation of cutting for the well-being of those who use it and both of the plant.
