At Acampo Machine Works we offer the Collard box trellis pruner. Either a single or the custom mounted dual unit is available. This unit is used to cut back bi-lateral sprawl and be able to create the box in high wire vineyards. Saw blades are commonly used by Acampo Machine Works because they are the only cutting system that can come right up to the final cut without damage. The pruner's saw blades can be adjusted all the way down to an 8" wide box. The single unit is very light in weight (especially for winter operations) and mounts directly to the front of your tractor. Hydraulic and 12 volt electrical power is supplied by the tractor. Joystick controls will keep it on track with your row trellis.

For larger tractors or skid steer tractors we build a double row unit with two Collard modules. Unit can be adjusted from 8 foot rows up to 11 foot.
