ORCHARD MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT

Prep smart. Harvest clean.

A well-maintained orchard lays the groundwork for a smoother, more productive harvest. Hedgers keep tree canopies trimmed and uniform, improving airflow, access, and nut exposure for shakers. Regular hedging reduces fallen branches and debris during harvest, making the cleanup process easier and more efficient.

Rakes organize nuts and debris on the orchard floor, especially in areas where terrain or tree structure makes sweeping difficult. They’re essential for forming windrows and prepping uneven spaces for clean harvesting.

Shredders (or mulchers) chop branches and pruning debris into fine mulch, speeding up decomposition and returning nutrients to the soil. This not only improves soil health but also deters pests and reduces obstructions for harvest equipment. Together, these tools support long-term orchard health and more efficient seasonal operations.
