FAQ

BUGGY 5000 S self-propelled shaker

For which species is the BUGGY5000 S suitable in fruit growing?

The BUGGY 5000 S is suitable for many crops: almonds, walnuts, pistachios, plums, cherries (for industry), and other species compatible with trunk shaking. The clamp can handle trunks up to 650 mm in diameter, depending on the choice of cushions and flaps.

How do you adjust the clamp and vibrations according to the species and ripeness of the fruit?

Adjust the dynamic clamping from the cab according to the diameter and sensitivity of the trunk, then select one of the 8 programmes (0 to 31 Hz). In general, gradual clamping and a frequency adapted to the variety/ripeness are preferred in order to pick efficiently without damaging the bark.

What accessories do you recommend to best preserve the bark?

The Fragile Trunk Kit (PELLENC patent) automatically optimises the clamping intensity on sensitive trees. Combine it with soft cushions and suitable flaps (6/10/15 mm, caramel or felt) to limit friction, especially on young trees and irregular trunks.

On what types of terrain can the BUGGY5000 S work and with what forward speed settings?

The machine operates on slopes up to 60% and side-slopes up to 45% (depending on conditions). Select "snail" for delicate approaches, "tortoise" for movement on site and "hare" for connections. The lockable rear wheel improves stability on slopes.

What pace can I expect and what does it depend on?

Up to 1,200 trees/day can be achieved depending on the organisation of the site, the layout of the rows, the maturity and the variety. The harvest rate can reach 99% depending on the fruit, size and settings (tightness, frequency, vibration duration).
