Vineyard Suckering And Shoot Removers

Our suckering attachment and the shoot removing attachment are actually the same machine. The heads are turned 90o to change from suckering to shoot removers. One side is independent of the other so you can have one side on suckering and one side on shoot removing and do both operation on the same pass through the vine rows. The changeover from suckering to shoot removing takes less than half an hour.

Suckering a vineyard is one of the most challenging operations done. It seems as if you have 2 weeks when the suckers are easy to knock off. This is why we developed the Green Hoe Suckering Machine. Our suckering machine is an inexpensive and fast way to get over the acreage you have.

The operator chooses how close to run the whips to the cines. Let the whips wrap around the shoots and clean them out. The linear actuators connect to the tractor battery and are operated from the cab.

The front mount setting allows the driver to keep a good eye on what’s happening. If the driver sees a replant, he can stop the motors while going past that young vine.

Our shoot remover is simply our suckering machine with the heads moved to a horizontal position. The heads rotate so urethane whips make contact with the underside on the cordon. This removes al under growth and as you move the head in closer to the cordon, it will whip around and take off your required an=mount of top shoot.

You can adjust the machine for the desired result by controlling the revolutions per minute, or the number of whips used on the heads.
