There are numerous models of the main pruning tools on the market, such as electric shears, loppers and chain pruners. But what are the rules for choosing the ones that best suit your needs? Among the main elements to be evaluated there are the reputation and professionalism of the manufacturer, which guarantee that a brand has a proven reliability. But the comparison between competitors should never be reduced to the history of their brand, their product range or just questions of price.
In fact, what you need from your tools are high quality materials, ease of use and power to complete pruning operations with maximum results and minimum efforts.
What should you ask the agricultural tool manufacturer for?
The best choice is to rely on brands that constantly invest in studies on the ergonomics of their products, on the reduction of the operator’s fatigue and on the handiness of the tools, in order to protect the user’s arms, hands, back and neck. Fundamental for pruning tools are also good balance in the weight distribution, compactness and compatibility with accessories that allow pruning to be carried out at all heights and on all plants.
Utmost important are also an easy maintenance, the replaceability of the parts that wear out and the possibility of using the same components, such as batteries and chargers, on more than one model, in order to save money when buying the tool thanks to their interchangeability.
The advantages that make the tools by Campagnola unique
The goal of Campagnola is exactly to concentrate all these features in each of its proposals, as well as to enrich its product lines with technological innovations, which are capable of making a difference and greatly facilitate your operations.
Here are the seven main reasons why you should think about purchasing a product of our GREEN Line, dedicated to farmers and amateurs.
1. Time saving
NEXI is the only electric tying tool with an oversized reel that can contain 110 meters of standard or bio-photodegradable wire and 130 meters of paper wire. Thanks to this feature you will have to stop much less often to replace the coils and you will enjoy a long working autonomy.
In your vineyard, without any interruption, you will be able, therefore, to carry out up to 960 tying operations with each paper wire reel and 810 with standard or bio-photodegradable wire reel. This is a significant time saving improving your productivity and performance.
2. Changing the blade opening by means of the double click
Our STARK M and STARK L electric shears have recently been equipped with a system which can improve your cutting performance: the double click, an exclusive feature by Campagnola that makes the electric shears of the GREEN Line with plug-in battery a real technological condensate and clearly differentiates them from other models on the market.
The double click system allows to change the blade opening of these shears from 70% to 100% by means of just two quick activations of the trigger, without any waiting time for the tool setting, and then to return to the 70% opening immediately and automatically. This is an essential feature for fruit trees, olive groves, vineyards and ornamental plants, when you need to prune branches with different diameters quickly.
3. Effortless pruning of high branches
Thanks to STARK M and STARK L you can perform precise pruning at your eye level on any type of plant. When you need to cut high branches, you can still count on the efficiency of these two tools, simply by mounting them onto the special telescopic extension pole designed by Campagnola.
With an extension ranging from 1.50 m to 2.30 m, the pole allows you to reach even the highest branches without ladders and in complete safety.
4. Cable and holster for reducing the tool weight
The low weight of the pruning shears is an essential factor, but after several hours of work it is normal that the operator feels tired. When you want to reduce the weight of STARK M or STARK L one of the patents of Campagnola, namely the cable, will allow you to remove the battery from the shear and put it into its special belt holster or into your pocket.
Thanks to the efficiency of the special connector, the power of your tools will remain unchanged, but the weight of STARK M will decrease from 0.910 kg to just 0.685 kg and that of STARK L from 1.160 kg to 0.830 kg.
5. Easy tying operations in vineyard
When you need to carry out seasonal tying operations in pergola vineyards, it is essential that your tools are very light. Due to their particular structure, they require the operator to work keeping his arms up, a position that can cause serious stress to his limbs, shoulders and neck.
Also in this case, the cable with battery on the belt connected to our NEXI tying tool allows you to greatly reduce the weight of the tool, from 1.011 kg to only 0.780 kg, to carry out this operation without getting too tired.
6. Essential accessories for tools with plug-in battery
Even the use of electric chain pruners with plug-in batteries can be tiring. T-REX and T-FOX are two extremely compact tools, weighing respectively 1,330 kg and 1,750 kg with their lithium-ion battery inserted.
In the most tiring operations, however, you can take advantage of the cable designed by Campagnola that allows you to remove the plug-in battery from the chain pruners and store it into your pocket or in its special belt holster. You will thus enjoy the excellent performance of these two electric chain pruners with maximum comfort and minimum weight.
7. Smart battery charger
The tools by Campagnola fitted with batteries with slide coupling are equipped with the innovative smart battery charger. Generally, when the lithium batteries are not recharged and fall below the minimum charge threshold indicated in the user manuals, they must be replaced. Today, however, thanks to the smart charger by Campagnola, based on an impulse charging system, the batteries that have reached an even 15% lower voltage compared to the minimum indicated, can be regenerated.
The smart charger is available for STARK M and STARK L shears, NEXI tying tool, T-FOX and T-REX chain pruners and STARK 90, 160, 220 pole shears.
