TURCHI hydraulic pile drivers drive up to 80-100 piles per day with one operator. From hillside vineyards to trellised orchards, perimeter fencing to pasture — one machine, one person, zero strain. The choice of those who grow quality.
New plantings, organic conversion, replanting of aged vineyards. Whoever plants faster starts producing first.

max post height
Each hectare of vineyard needs 1,200–2,000 posts end and intermediate. By hand, a five-person crew needs a week. With the TURCHI 300F one operator works alone, at 150 posts a day. The {300f. impactEnergy} hydraulic hammer covers wood, steel and prestressed concrete posts. Hills or plains, with rubber tracks that respect the soil.

The TURCHI 300F moves on rubber tracks to the exact point. Up to 3.33 km/h without damaging farm soil.
02
Adjust the column forward (+10°) and sideways (±10°) to stay plumb on sloping ground without moving the machine; the frontal −51° is for transport.
03
Hydraulic hammer at 950 / 1,200 / 1,500 J (620–1,500 bpm). Wood, steel and prestressed concrete posts — powerful and precise.
04
Move to the next post and repeat. With the pile trolley, supply is continuous — the driver never stops.
