Horizontal-vertical Cutter

Lateral and top tree cutting with columns’ bypass in vineyards and orchards

The HV Cutter is a cutting-edge lateral and top cutting instrument designed for precise trimming of plantation trees, including fruit trees and grapevines. It features a dual cutting system with vertical and horizontal decks, equipped with high-performance cutting disks that easily handle thick branches and tree tops, even in poorly maintained plantations. This advanced cutting mechanism ensures uniform shaping, optimal growth, and improved plantation structure, making it a versatile and efficient solution for orchards and vineyards.

100% Autonomous | 100% Electric

Features & Benefits

The HV Cutter’s horizontal cutting deck is equipped with a special touch sensor, allowing it to detect plantation columns and automatically slide into the passage space for a smooth bypass.

Key benefits of this system:

  • Seamless operation in structured plantations – Enables efficient work in plantations with hail nets and tree canopies positioned below column height.
  • Intelligent obstacle detection – The touch sensor prevents collisions by dynamically adjusting the deck position in real time.
  • Uninterrupted workflow – Ensures continuous cutting efficiency without requiring manual intervention, optimizing performance.

This automated bypass function enhances precision, adaptability, and efficiency, making the Slopehelper HV Cutter ideal for high-density plantations with structural obstacles.

The HV Cutter enables lateral cutting, top cutting, or a combination of both, offering full flexibility for plantation maintenance.

Key advantages:

  • Customizable cutting modes – Perform top-only, lateral-only, or combined cutting based on specific orchard and vineyard requirements.
  • Precision tree shaping – Ensures optimal tree structure, enhancing growth and productivity.
  • Efficient maintenance – Adapts to different plantation management strategies, improving overall field efficiency.

This versatile cutting system maximizes operational control, making it an essential tool for modern fruit orchards and vineyards.

Traditional trimmers often tear and burst branches rather than cutting them cleanly, increasing the risk of tree infections. This happens because sharp cutting teeth alone cannot properly hold branches in place.

The Slopehelper HV Cutter solves this issue with special guiding teeth that:
Securely grip branches – Prevents slipping along the disk edge.
Ensure clean, smooth cuts – No torn or open branch ends.
Reduce infection risks – Promotes healthier tree growth and faster healing.

This advanced cutting mechanism enhances precision, efficiency, and plantation health, making it an essential tool for fruit orchards and vineyards.

The Slopehelper HV Cutter features a fully foldable design, allowing it to navigate plantation passages in a compact folded state.

  • Seamless operation – Works efficiently under non-folded hail nets without interference.
  • Preserves netting integrity – Ensures safe passage without damaging protective structures.
  • Optimized for narrow entrances – Easily maneuvers through tight plantation spaces.

This smart foldable system guarantees uninterrupted cutting performance, making it ideal for structured orchards and vineyards with hail netting.

The Slopehelper HV Cutter features a programmable vertical cutting deck, allowing precise trimming at different heights.

  • Customizable cutting height – Adjusts to target only the necessary vegetation.
  • Enhanced crop solarization – Optimizes light penetration for healthier plants.
  • Improved yield quality – Supports better growth conditions and overall productivity.

This advanced adaptability ensures efficient plantation maintenance while maximizing plant health and harvest potential.

The Slopehelper HV Cutter allows for precise pyramidal shaping of tree canopies by angling the vertical cutting deck while keeping its horizontal alignment intact.

  • Optimized canopy shaping – Enhances tree structure for better growth.
  • Improved solarization – Ensures even light distribution, boosting fruit quality.
  • Higher yield potential – Maximizes photosynthesis efficiency for stronger harvests.

This advanced cutting option supports healthier plantations and increased productivity

The HV Cutter is equipped with a hinged system that ensures constant cutting height maintenance, even on slippery or uneven terrain.

  • Automatic slope adaptation – Dynamically adjusts to terrain inclinations.
  • Consistent canopy shaping – Maintains uniform tree structure for optimized growth.
  • Precise horizontal deck positioning – Ensures accurate cutting height without manual intervention.

This intelligent adjustment system guarantees precise, uniform cutting while maximizing harvest solarization across all plantation conditions.

In real-world orchards, plantation rows are rarely perfectly straight, meaning the Slopehelper HV cutter must continuously adapt its position relative to the row for accurate thinning.

The Slopehelper HV cutter is equipped with a special actuator system that automatically adjusts the instrument’s lateral position, ensuring optimal alignment with the trees. This dynamic adjustment prevents flower damage from incorrect positioning and guarantees precise, uniform thinning, regardless of row irregularities.
