telescopici compatti merlo

In every agricultural or livestock operation there is a precise moment when the working day begins. It always happens at first light, when the yard is still empty. The first machine to move is the one that will be used throughout the rest of the day, and its sound is the heartbeat of the farm starting to race again.

However, vigorous vine growth does not always translate into better harvest quality, as the leaves most effective in feeding the grape clusters are roughly the first twelve along the shoot. Beyond this point, their contribution to production ranges from minimal to negligible. Vineyard trimming is therefore a fundamental practice,…
