Product Description

Trenchit Silt Wheel Rootsaw With PTO 540 RPM Output | Model RTS500 | 38" Trench Depth | 50-90HP | For Tractor 

DESCRIPTION

Designed for root pruning under kiwifruit vines, and also the roots of shelter trees that grow among the vines.

Root pruning is used for bringing dry matter levels up.  This is achieved by cutting and removing roots to reduce the size of the root system, which in turn reduces the carbohydrate demand of the root system., making more available for fruit growth and dry matter accumulation.

Root pruning of shelter trees is beneficial as their roots divert the nutrients and water from crops, hindering the good healthy growth of fruit.

Key Features 

• Root Pruning Efficiency – Reduces root system size, enhancing nutrient allocation for crop growth.
• Precise Trenching – Offers 3" or 4" trench widths and 38" max depth for targeted pruning.
• Tractor Compatibility – Designed for 50-90 HP tractors with creep gear or Vireo transmission.
• Durable Carbide Cutters – Three carbide cutters for reliable and effective root pruning.
• New Zealand Manufactured – Built for quality and durability in challenging environments.
