JOJOBA PRUNING MACHINE PJ-2000 INTRODUCTION:

    Jojoba bushes, young or mature, have  branches which stretch  clear to the ground. In order to allow efficient and clean harvesting, skirting pruning is essential for easy access. Furthermore, in order to get maximum yield from a given area, rows are planted relatively close together, and once bushes are mature hedging is  required for access and sunlight penetration.
    The pruning machine PJ-2000,  with its floating  adjustable pruning mechanism, follows the terrain, picks up branches lying on the ground, and cuts them in the preset angle position required, close to the trunks with no damage from the ground to the cutting head itself.
    Revolving saws at high speed and  the revolving head  with the two saws mounted on it, insure clean cuts and avoid brush clogging in front of machine.
    The cutting position can be set from  45° skirting to vertical hedging. The cutting head is mounted on the front of the tractor to the right, allowing the operator good visibility and control during pruning and maneuvering. Cutting capacity is not limited since the cutting is performed by two 24” diameter saw discs, which make clean cuts whether on  twigs or heavy wood.
    The forward speed of the machine is not limited by the cutting, but by  the terrain conditions and to allow operator time to control cutting close to trunks to avoid damage.
