Our pruning machine is devided in 2 Versions. The Edward comfort and the Edward standard.
Edward comfort
is equipped with a technically sophisticated hydraulic control block and an electronic control unit. All functions are centrally controlled from the driver’s seat via the control unit using the joystick and a touch screen display. One oil circuit with about 45 l of oil is required and 1 pressure-free return on the tractor. No additional control equipment is needed.
Edward standard
does not have its own control system, all functions are controlled via the control device of the tractor. The tractor requires a pressure port of 45 l/min and 1 free return. Additionally, 3-5 double-acting control units (depending on accessories) are required. Automatic pivoting of the horizontal cutting bar when approaching posts for hail protection nets and operation of the EdDa thinning unit is not possible with this version.
