The range includes machines suited to fruit orchards, citrus, olive groves, hazel trees and other agricultural applications, with different cutting configurations available depending on the pruning requirements.
BMV – FL 300N
The BMV FL 300N is designed for green and dry pruning of different types of trees.

The cutting group can operate in both vertical and horizontal positions, while the double sliding system on the central column allows a horizontal cutting height of up to 4.30 m.
The machine’s hydraulic movements allow it to adapt to different orchard rows, while the belt transmission requires no adjustment.

For dry pruning, it is equipped with 500 mm WIDIA-toothed saw discs, suitable for branches up to approximately 15 cm in diameter.
For green pruning, knives can be fitted to cut branches of approximately 2–3 cm in diameter, allowing faster forward working speeds.
