PRINCIPLE
- The MPH 44 pruner is made of four cutting modules equipped with saws (diameter 450 mm). Driven by hydraulic motors, the saws perform a side cut (front modules) and a horizontal cut (rear modules). The modules are equipped with retraction devices to allow following the row and retracting at the posts. Only the working height must be controlled by the operator.

ADVANTAGES
- The speed and the diameter of the saws ensure a clean sharp cut of the vine shoots.
- The retraction discs have a larger diameter than the saws to avoid damaging the posts.
- Low-maintenance, lightweight .
- The side saws of the front module are covered with an abrasion-resistant plastic disk to protect the cordons.
- The combs on the front cutting modules and the retraction system allow following the row automatically. A disk out of synthetic material maintains the distance between the saw and the cordon.
- The opening/closing of the modules is controlled from the driver’s cab to facilitate entering and exiting the vine rows.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
- Frame: tubular structure 100 x 50 mm.
- The rear horizontal cutting modules are adjustable in height and retractable when passing posts.
- Front side cutting modules with row follower and vertical safety.
- Hydraulic front and rear cutting modules opening for entering and exiting the rows.
- Electro-hydraulic valve block (capacity 60 liters/min) with ergonomic joystick (Océa range).
- The rotational speed of the saws is around 2,000 RPM (flow rate 44 l/min).
- Working speed up to 2.5 km/h
RETRACTION DEVICE
- The rear cutting modules are retractable to allow the saws to turn safely and automatically round the posts.
