Runner CutterFor strawberries grown on raised beds
With our runner cutter, you can cut off the runners hanging down the slope of the raised beds where they are throwing new roots whilst treating the polythene membrane very gently.
It can be used on nearly all bed shapes with 1, 2 or more rows per bed. 2 to 4 elements are allocated to each bed according to the bed shape and number of rows per bed.
Each cutting unit is equipped with a rubber-fingered rotor and a saw blade.
The rubber fingers first lift the runners and guide them to the saw blade and, second, brace the pivoting connection of the cutting element onto the polythene membrane. Through this design, the mechanism which lifts the runners is in constant contact with the polythene membrane covering the bed without damaging it.
Quite naturally, our runner cutter can also be hitched to the front linkage of your tractor. This leaves the rear lift arms free to carry and operate the bed brush completing the whole bed cleaning operation in just one pass. |
An individual wheeled-chassis is allocated to each bed. It is connected to the main frame of the machine through an universal joint so that it can follow the bed independently from the tractor. This allows it to deal with multiple beds in one pass. It does not matter if you follow the tramline left by the planter or the connecting path to the next planter tramline.
