    piles/day

    1 hectare

    in under half a day

    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 BACCO, one operator plants a hectare in under half a day. The 950 J hydraulic hammer covers wood, steel and prestressed concrete posts. Hills or plains, with rubber tracks that respect the soil.
