The VSL 07 P is the lightest model in the Binger Seilzug range of Pre-Pruners. Counter-rotating shearing discs cut the vines at the desired height. The exposed shearing discs are not susceptible to blockage and so permit cutting back before the leaves have fallen. Two frame sizes permit nine different cutting lengths between 21 and 77 centimetres. This ensures optimum adaptation of the machine to existing vineyard configurations and training forms. The VSL 07 P is therefore just as suitable for cordon-trained as for cane-pruned vines. Its low weight makes the VSL 07 P suitable for use on steep slopes and in difficult terrain. The VSL 07 P is available with cutting lengths from 21 cm (2 x 4 cm) to 77 cm (2 x 12 shearing discs); there are 7 cm steps from one cutting length to the next. Adjusting to a different cutting length takes very little time.

Model VS 98 S is ideally suited for use where there is very vigorous canopy growth. To protect the wire trellis, the saw blades are surrounded by a screen and arranged on one side only. The staggered pressure discs continuously guide the vine stems to the saw blades and so ensure clean cutting. The VS 98 S is available with cutting lengths from 18 cm (three saws) up to 81 cm (ten saws) in steps of 9 cm or 12 cm.

For extreme canopy growth, we recommend Pre-Pruner VS 98 D. The cutting tools and their screens are arranged on both sides, and driven by four motors; they have no trouble with even the densest growth. Depending on the frame size and the number of cutting tools, the height cut can be 42 cm, 56 cm, 70 cm or 84 cm.
