Kadioglu - Model Vibrope - Rope Tree Shaking Machine

How to use rope tree shaking machines?

The belt at the end of the steel rope is attached to the flexible main branches of the tree or, if the tree is young, to a part of the trunk where it can bend. The tractor is driven forward to take up the slack in the rope. When the PTO is engaged, the tree begins to shake, causing the fruit to fall from the branches. The shaking intensity and speed are controlled by the tractor.

Rope length information:

The shorter and lighter the steel rope is, the better the shaking performance. As the rope lengthens, it may start to bend, negatively affecting shaking performance. You can shorten the rope to your desired length. A rope length that prevents the tractor from crushing the harvested crop is sufficient. This length can be 4-6 meters for young trees and 8-10 meters for older trees.

Does it harm the trees?

Depending on the model selected, Kadioglu Rope Shaking Machines pull and release the attached part of the tree by 5-12 cm during harvesting (user-controlled). This amount of flexing is much less than what the tree experiences in the wind. Since the Vibrope Harvesting Machine shakes the tree by pulling and releasing it, flexible areas away from branch intersections should be selected for attachment. If the belt is attached to the base of branch intersections, these areas may struggle to flex, increasing the risk of branch breakage. Care should be taken to select flexible areas.
