cantilever effect on the tractor, the length between the hitching points and the end of
the box is box is 3,10 m.
2. PLANTATION FRAMEWORK AND PRUNING OF TREES
The plantation framework is another one of the main point to take into account
to choose the model of harvester that will answer your need. Too many times,
growers chose a plantation framework without thinking about how they will harvest.
The change in climatic conditions has not only shortened the available time
span to harvest, but also make it more unpredictible. To be able to work quickly is a
very important. As merely indicative, minimum frameworks we recommend are:
These recommendations are merely indicative. It is impossible to give an
exact data because other factors will have an influence on it.
Pruning is one of these factors. Standard diametre of our umbrellas is 6,5
metres for RD-75, RD-75 mix, RT-65 and RT-65 MIX, and 7 metres for RD 90 and
RD-90 MIX.
First, the pruning of trees will determine the height of the cross (where the
trunk divides into main branches). Normally, we advise a minimum height of 80 cm to
work quickly and easily (it is possible to work with lower crosses, at about 50-55 cm,
but you are likely to need more time.
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WORK QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY WITH A
HARVESTER IF THE PLANTATION FRAMEWORK IS TOO NARROW.
