JOJOBA PRUNING MACHINE - PJ-2000   Jojoba bushes 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.   Please click on the model name, or picture to get more information.
