Back during those days, a team of Bahco Pradines engineers went into the vineyards of California to better understand the pruning habits. The wood in vineyards is slightly thicker than the wood in European vineyards, leading to a different pruning technique. All the interesting feedback and experiences of the men who work day-after-day in Californian vineyards during the pruning season, is the base of the development of the P14-50 lopper, a lopper with a very small pruner head.
First priority when pruning at height is the safety of the workers, as well as nearby individuals and equipment. There is also the awareness of the need to protect the tree and follow guidelines that reflect environmental and preventative priorities. Bahco offers easier and safer pruning at height with a flexible and modular system.
THE RIGHT POLE FOR THE SAFER USE
The section poles are well-balanced lightweight aluminum poles, very easy to handle thanks to their round shape. The lightweight aluminum telescopic poles are available in variable sizes. The telescopic mechanism smoothly slides one pole outside the next one with minimum gap. Short lightweight aluminum extension pole up to 2.10 meters, especially suitable for safer rope assisted tree care.
The different blade sizes have different teeth per inch (TPI). Shorter blades with a fine cut enable smoother and precise cutting on smaller branches up to 12cm. The longer blades with a coarse cut enable to saw faster with more aggressive cutting in thicker branches. For the longer blades of 390mm and 450mm a thicker base material is used to ensure the blades flexibility is aligned with the length and intended applications.
Regular maintenance will keep the cutting edges of your Bahco pruning tools razor sharp. Cleaning and oiling will keep their actions smooth and fast. A sharp blade reduces workload and makes fast-healing clean cuts. To maintain a keen edge performance, maintenance at regular intervals is required. Four steps to maintain your pruning tool:
Spray blades with cleaning fluid
Wipe blades with a cleaning cloth with caution
Sharpen the blades with a stone or a carbide sharpener
A. Do 10 stroke at a 30° angle starting from the base of the cutting edge and working toward the tip.
B. Remove burrs with one light stroke along the back side. Keep the stone flat
