Bamboo Tree Stakes
Bamboo staking is a method wherein the central leader is held straight, and lateral limbs can be easily tied down. This increases tree growth at a fraction of the cost of steel tubing.

Bin Filler
This new bin filler with its quiet & trouble free hydraulic system can handle a large volume of fruit. It also has a variable speed control on the let down belt and powered placement brush, this allows handling of more sensitive fruit.
Box Rotator
130-degree or 180-degree box rotators are available with or without an optional clamping system. With two models available, you can get the best box rotator for your application at the lowest possible cost. With a 130 or 180-degree rotator, you can dump fruit, vegetables, fertilizer, and many other products directly into a truck, spreader, or hopper with your existing forklift, saving valuable time and extra labor.
Brownie - Pruning Tower
With years of proven dependability, the New Brownie has all three wheels powered by planetary drives. We have added larger wheels, wheel weights and dual hydraulic pumps for smoother operation and cooler oil temperatures.
Brownie Quad
The Brownie Quad 4×4 is a self-propelled work platform with two individual platforms. These platforms have a working height that starts only 20″ from the ground in the lowest position, allowing pruning, thinning, and picking of the entire tree at a lower level to overlap ground workers.
Brush Pusher
This heavy-duty brush pusher is designed to float. It’s tines are mounted under the frame and work like skis to follow the contour of your orchard floor. The easily replaceable tines are flattened on the ends and mounted close together to pick up smaller brush.
"N" Model Box Shuttle
The narrow model Box Shuttle was specifically designed for narrow, high-density orchards. It can easily accommodate most bins with an overall width of under sixty (60) inches. The hydraulic tilt hitch, designed for sharper turning, gives easy access to even the narrowest rows. Additionally, the optional automatic “Tail Hook” prevents bins from sliding off the back end when traversing hilly terrain.
The narrow Model Box Shuttle has a high-flotation tandem axle for a gentle ride. It is faster and more maneuverable in high-density orchards with far less damage to fruit or trees. With these many new features, it has become a necessary tool for efficient bin placement and fruit removal in today’s orchards.
Casoron Spreader
With cost being the biggest factor in weed control, CASORON is looking better than ever. With a new applicater available, the grower can apply CASORON and also many other granular materials at a controlled rate and pattern width. This keeps cost at a minimum.

Cross Action Forks
Introducing the improved version of our already top-notch forks. Now, you can experience the unparalleled quality of heavy-duty carbon steel forks with cross-action on the 3-point pins, equipped with air shocks for load adjustment. Our latest patented design ensures a smooth and gentle ride, even on the most uneven terrain. Say goodbye to bruises caused by transporting fruit and vegetables on 3-point forks – our new design takes care of it all.
Driveway Scraper
Will remove washboard effect, fill in ruts, and does not create dips or swells. Front blades cut down high spots moving material to wings. Wings catch material channel it across full 8′ width, filling any low spots.
Economy Lifts
Now for little more than the price of a three point, you can have the versatility of a HI-LO. With many models available for both 3-point and front mounting, you can get the right lift at the right price.
Foil Layer
Phil Brown Welding’s “Foil Layer” is a handy and efficient way to lay reflective foil under fruit trees. This unit will use the same mounting framework as our Clean Sweep Spray Boom. If you already have one of our spray booms, simply slide off the end tube and this Foil Layer slides right on.
Frost Protection Fan
Protect up to ten acres of fruit or vegetables for pennies per hour. By using our new SEVEN FT. or FIVE FT. DIAMETER frost fans directly on your tractor’s P.T.O. you can greatly increase your natural air drainage. With three-point hitch mounting, this unit can be moved to protect whichever crop is most critical at the time.
Ground Hog Sweeper
The Ground Hog utilizes hydraulically driven rubber pads to prevent damage to tree bark while effectively sweeping brush and debris from the tree row. The collected material is then gathered into a windrow to be chopped or pushed. This method has also demonstrated significant advantages in preparing the ground before herbicide application, leading to improved weed control.
Ladder Carrier
Ladder Carrier designed to carry straight ladders on one side and step ladders on the other.
Mechanical Bulk Loader
The Mechanical Bulk Loader uses a chain that is anchored to the side of the truck to achieve its dumping action. Here’s how it works: first, a bin is placed into the loader and lifted using a forklift. As the dumper reaches the desired height, the tension on the chain causes the bin to rotate forward while the forklift continues to rise. The entire dumping cycle and emptying of the bin is completed with approximately 30 inches of travel.
Mini Shuttle
The MINI SHUTTLE has been designed to accommodate picking in narrow row spacing without damage to fruit on the tree or in the bin.
With the MINI SHUTTLE the pickers can move their own bin when needed, take it to a loading area when it is full, and pick up empty bins without waiting for a tractor driver. This safe and efficient method of moving bins in and out of orchard rows, is also very effective by eliminating expensive tractors and drivers; this also reduces the bruising done when tractor lifts are used in the orchard.
Nursery Digger
The size of tractor required to pull this digger mostly depends on the soil condition and traction. We generally recommend a 60 to 80 horsepower, 4X4 tractor, or a 80 to 100 horsepower, 2-wheel drive, tractor. Power is usually not the issue, traction usually is.
Peach Blossom Thinner
The advantages of blossom thinning have been known for many years. Early blossom removal allows the tree’s vigor to be used only for the fruit intended for harvest. This increases the fruit size and at the same time, eliminates many hours of costly hand thinning.
This mechanical thinning machine, with its many features, makes blossom thinning a practical way to save both time and money. This will enable the grower to experience a better crop and a higher profit.
Picking Platform
The work platform has two hydraulically controlled stations that can be operated independently of one another. The Box Shuttle Chains are allowed to run underneath the platform so bins can be exchanged. The 12 inch wide removable steps allow easy access to the bins and are galvanized for corrosion resistance.
Post Pounder
This post driver setup has been designed especially for driving tall posts in orchards or vineyards where narrow row spacing and uneven terrain are a problem.
The post driver can be carried by 3-point forks or a front lift. This allows it to be hooked up and unhooked in minutes. An adjustable bottom support gives the unit stability, allowing the operator to drive posts with the frame sitting on the ground. This frame also supports the unit when it is unhooked from the tractor.
A four lever control valve allows the operator to adust the tilt in both directions as well as 3 foot of travel side to side of the tractor. This allows the tractor driver to travel straight down the row, with less maneuvering resulting in faster post installation saving both time and money.
Features:
- Impact: 30,000 lbs
- Max post width: 7″
- Adjustable for different post heights
- Hydraulic base plate for tilt and offset
- Tilt and offset: 15 degrees
- Flow requirement: 3-4 GPM
- 3 FT of hydraulic side travel adjustment
- Adjustable support foot
- Head Weight: 445 lbs
Self Propelled Platform
The machine can be driven and steered from any platform position. The approximate turning radius is 8′ inside of the wheels, about 10′ 9″ to the machine centerline.
Sickle Bar Mover/Hedger
This hedger is a hydraulically driven, single blade unit, designed to prune fruit trees, grape vines, raspberry canes etc. It can handle 1.5” diameter wood. The downfall of this design is that it is not ideal for mowing grass. If you are looking for a grass cutter, this may not be your most efficient option. The Single Sided Hedger can be mounted directly to tractor frame or front weight bracket. Optional fork tube mounts available.
Snow Pusher
This simple Snow Pusher can be used to remove snow in orchard and vineyard rows to allow access for pruning.
Root Pruner
This new tool with its many features hooks directly to a tractor’s 3-point hitch and can be easily adjusted to row width.
The Root Pruner’s unique one-way tapered cutting disc can be set to different depths for easier pulling. It also has a shear bolt to protect the tool in case the disc contacts underground rocks.
The Root Pruner’s adjustable skid plate keeps the tool at a consistent cutting depth. This plate also seals the ground back around the cut to prevent root sprouting.
These many patented features make the Root Pruner a valuable tool for many varieties of fruit with the proven results of better fruit with less chemical use and fewer pruning costs.
Trunk Sprayer
The Trunk Sprayer was developed to allow sprays, such as borer sprays, to be applied directly to the tree trunk. An electric eye mounted directly ahead of the nozzles is triggered by each passing tree trunk.
V-Trellis Platform
The same Brownie Quad, 4 X 4 drive-train fitted with a low profile, single platform designed to work in narrow, V-Trellis orchards.
Wire Puller Platform
This wire puller platform is designed to be carried on your tractor forks.
Weed Spray Boom
The Clean Sweep Spray Boom has a rubber whip on the outer end to lay the grass down around and between trees. This unique design has two breakaways, one near the outer tip (shown only in the bottom picture) which will break back in the event of heavy tree contact. The second breakaway is at the point of mounting, which allows the entire boom to swing back if the boom contacts the ground. This allows the perfect spray pattern to continue even if a tractor wheel falls into a hole or rut.
Wire Un-Winder
This 300 gallon towable spray tank is set up with a filter, regulator, and pressure gauge ready to hook directly to your weed spray boom. This versatile tank is also adaptable for many other applications such as liquid fertilization as well as watering trees, vegetables and nursery stock.
Wire Winder
This Hydraulic Wire Winder was designed to rewind wire from the orchard and vineyard trellis systems where it is no longer needed. It is designed to wind the wire into standard (4000 FT) coils so it can be reused in new plantings. This versatile unit can also be used as an unwinder by opening a valve, allowing it to freewheel.
