We’ve got a Pellenc 890, this is our third season running that harvester. We’ve been using machine harvesting and machine harvested fruit for probably 25-30 years now and when they came out with the onboard sorting system, the Selectiv’ Process…that’s what really pushed us towards Pellenc. The fruit that’s coming out of that machine is very very clean there’s hardly any leaves, very few stems, and it can go right in a tank without any further processing once it gets to the winery. For us at Silver Oak that’s really important. One of the factors that caused us to buy a machine to go to machine harvesting is the ability to be able to pick when we want to pick. For us, a day or two later than we want to really makes a huge difference in fruit quality. So being able to pick the amount we want, the time we want and keep on that schedule is really important. We’ve been very satisfied with the quality of the equipment. It’s in three seasons that we’ve been running it, we’ve had just a few minor issues that got straightened out quickly. Can’t say enough about the service department, they do a great job. They’re available 24/7 and we’ve used them a couple of times at all hours of the night. We chose this machine because we think it’s the best in the industry right now.

SAFETY

SECURE CAB

  • ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) cab.
  • Seat with a safety belt and presence detector.
  • Category 4 pressurized and filtered cab.
  • A presence sensor in the seat acts as an emergency stop for the tools as soon as the driver leaves the seat.
  • 1 interior rear-view mirror and 2 split wide angle electric rear-view mirrors, one of which can be folded in.
  • Other safety equipment: Window-breaker hammer and fire extinguisher.

FIVE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTONS

  • 1 shutdown button for the tool/harvesting head next to the EASY DRIVE joystick.
  • 1 general emergency stop on the steering column: complete shutdown of the machine (including the engine).
  • 3 emergency stops on the harvesting head: above each lower suction fan + 1 on the remote control of the washing platform.
  • One easily-accessible battery cut-off switch.

AUTOMATIC PARKING BRAKE

  • Automatically activated and deactivated when the machine stops and restarts.

VISIBILITY DAY AND NIGHT

  • 100% LED lights.
  • High-definition color cameras and an independent monitor.

SLOPE AND TILT VISUALIZATION

  • The slope percentage and the carrier’s tilt level are displayed at all times on the EASY TOUCH console.
  • The carrier tilt angle can be corrected on a slope of up to 28% from the joystick.

The new OPTIMUM harvester has won me over. The comfort of the cab is impressive, the EASY TOUCH touch console and the multi-function joystick control make driving intuitive and enjoyable. The manoeuvrability is impressive in the headland. I easily turn at the end of the rows, even on my most uneven and narrow plots. The quality of the harvest is excellent, the Flexible Sorter Conveyor works in perfect harmony with the Selectiv’ Process On Board 2. Sorting the harvest starts on the conveyor, which allows me to work faster while maintaining unmatched crop quality: 99.82 % cleanliness in the bin.

  • The wheels receive the same oil flow rate at all times, even in the event of a loss of grip.
  • The TPI 2 system stretches the limits of grip.

EASY TURN STEERING SYSTEM

  • Record ease of handling at headlands: When turning, the rear inner wheel reverses to shorten the turning circle and reduce the space required to maneuver.
  • Work row by row without additional maneuvering.
  • On steep slopes or at a severe angle, the headland brake locks the inner rear wheel to maintain optimal grip.

COST-SAVING

OPTIMIZES EVERY DROP OF FUEL

  • The EASY POWER system automatically adapts the engine speed to the needs of the tools and the carrier. This intelligent system ensures minimum fuel consumption both at work and on the road.
  • ECO mode changes the engine power management. It revs up less abruptly and less often. Eco mode lets you save up to 10% on fuel.
  • The operator can manually increase the engine speed from the EASY TOUCH console for engine preheating or to facilitate specific tasks.
  • The supervisor on EASY TOUCH lets you evaluate the actual fuel savings.
  • The speed limiter regulator stabilizes fuel consumption while working.

  • All the components of the flexible sorting conveyor are replaceable and mounted on interchangeable skids.
  • Continuous self-diagnostics with error messages displayed on the EASY TOUCH console.

OPTIMUM combined multitasking

The only carrier on the market capable of working two full rows with two different tools simultaneously

The growing concerns of vine growers about the profitability of their farms, particularly in light of restrictions on herbicides, climate change, new requirements regarding pesticides, and expanding acreage are what led us to develop COMBINED MULTITASKING.
The PELLENC multifunction carrier is equipped with mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic coupling systems for the quick fitting of one tool at the front of the multifunction arm and another at the rear, so that two full rows can be worked at once.
Today, more than 80% of our carriers work in multifunction mode.

Features

There is no equivalent on the market. This is the only carrier capable of working 2 full rows with 2 different tools. That ability to use a combination of tools simultaneously required our engineers to develop the carrier’s hydraulic, electrical, and electronic capabilities.
The machine’s intelligence lies in its control console and touchscreen panel, which enable the operator to control two tools simultaneously using a wide range of automated systems. The interface is designed to make the operator’s job easier and safe.

Some examples:

Multifunction Front Arm and Rear Tool Carrier:

  • Multifunction front arm: 1 full row trimmer
    + 2 x 1/2 row trimmers (= 2 full rows)
  • Twin Row 3-point: Tool holder equipped with 2 cultivators
    (with or without inter-vine probes).

2-Row Trimmer:

  • Automatic width adjustment of the cutter bars from the cab (information on the plantation width and the canopy).
  • Automatic folding and unfolding of the exterior cutter bars.
  • Automated height adjustment and extension of the multifunction arm.
  • Automatic width adjustment of the cutter bars from the cab (information on the plantation width and the canopy).
  • These automated systems are linked to the start-up of the cutter bars and are carried out in hidden time while the driver turns around at the headland.

TWIN Row 3-Point Attachment:

  • AUTOMATIC centering system between the vines thanks to the 2 probes located in front of the tools (width adjustment to adapt to different plantation widths).
  • In-row 3-Points are re-centered behind the carrier automatically to move on to the next row with perfectly aligned tools.
  • The height of each tool is also managed thanks to the ground probes. This means the whole assembly can work at a tilt.
  • The hydraulics of the tool holder deliver power to the cylinder. The cylinder raises the rear tool when the arm is raised: this significantly reduces the need for maneuvering room at the headland.

Easy controls

  • Two-click control. The start-up of the front tool is managed by the first click and the start-up of the rear tool by the second click. This lets the operator take account of the carrier’s progress in the row.
  • Each time the tools are switched on or off, the automated systems on each tool save time at the headlands and free the operator from all the constraints associated with each tool.

The advantages of combined multifunction

  • Automated systems that make the operator’s job easier
  • Coupling and uncoupling at an accessible height + hydraulic coupling (less time consuming)
  • Faster amortization of machines
  • Fuel saving
  • Labor saving
  • Time saving in the field
  • Jobs carried out when the moment is right
  • Farm productivity is two to four times higher than with an in-the-row tractor

An unmatched harvest
