Investing in vineyard equipment is a big decision whether you have 3 acres or 1000. Focusing on tools that increase productivity and can be used for more than one task, is crucial.  Use the F3020 for more than cane pruning That's why Infaco's F3020 electric pruner features the most options of any battery-powered pruner on the market including 3 different head sizes that all work on the same pruning shear. Interestingly, by workers not having to switch between 2-3 different tools, growers also realize significant productivity increases in this way too. Standard: Cuts 1.55" (40mm); perfect for cane pruning and our fastest head. Medium: Cuts 1.77" (45mm); great for larger cuts or growers that also have tree crops like olives, nuts, or fruit.
