Orchard Implements
The right equipment at the right price can help the bottom line of any business. That is why, for over 40 years, the vineyard and orchard growers have looked to Gearmore to help supply the ever-demanding need for the finest and most reliable equipment available.
Below you will find some implements that could prove invaluable to orchard growers.

The Gearmore pull type, PTO driven, self-feeding Brush Processor was designed to shred material up to 4 inches in diameter into a very fine mulch that will decompose in the rows without affecting your harvesting operations. To complete the finishing operation, we recommend the Gearmore Orchard Tiller with rear roller to bury the fine mulch 2 to 3 inches deep. |
| An important application for our Orchard Tiller with rear roller is to bury wood chips by tilling 2 to 3 inches deep. The roller then slightly compacts and smooths out the orchard floor. The wood chips will decompose at a faster rate and the rolled out area is then in better condition for the harvesters. The University of California Cooperative Ext. recommends keeping wood chips/shreddings in the orchards. |

These new very competitive Air Blast Sprayers feature stainless steel tanks, with mechanical agitation, also stainless steel shaft and propellers. Both models have modern front shields to protect the pump and tank from damage when spraying in confined areas. Added to the tank are many features which add up to state of the art sprayers to fit your orchard spraying requirements. |
| The Gearmore Mower/Shredders are the ultimate in flail mowing. The 3 lb. drop forged hammer knives will shred up to 3 inch diameter branches and yet will mow grass. The low profile belt housing and gearbox is a great advantage when operating in orchards. You will find that these heavy duty machines will give many years of low maintenance usage. |

The offset design enables maximum penetration and even tillage of soil. Heavy construction with 1 1/2 inch square gang axles, 24 inch dia. blades in notched or smooth, self leveling hand crank and trunnion mounted, sealed bearings. |
Our Grading Scrapers are designed for a number of operations for orchard growers. Grading and leveling low spots that may get washed out in the orchard floor. For repairing your roads - the dual blade flow through action cuts out high spots, fills holes and moves material from the edge of the road toward the center, thus achieving a smooth finished road.

When moving material around an orchard, the Gearmore Dump Trailers with the unique 3-way dumping system allows for quick easy trailer spotting for exact location of material drop. The special hinged panels, both sides and rear, insure all material is released cleanly from the bed. There are five sizes and capacities to choose from.

More and more orchards are incorporating organic mulch and compost as a means to enhance the soil and reduce chemical usage. Row Mulchers make large scale use of mulch feasible for any size orchard. The machine applies neat, uniform rows of mulch right where you want it. Option available to spread two rows in lieu of one side spreading.

Our Slicing Aerators are excellent for aerating cover crops in orchards. Due to the many passes with heavy equipment, fields become very compacted. Thus, it becomes necessary to fracture the soil to increase air and water movement. Our unique twisted tines open the soil up to 8 inches deep; this then produces a stronger root zone that achieves higher yields |
| Our line of Pendulum Spreaders feature exact rate/spread control, quick change spouts, low filling heights and easy maintenance. These spreaders are very accurate and the pendulum movement of the spout back and forth insures that the application rate is always identical on both sides. The hoppers are made of corrosion free fiberglass. With the orchard spout, the spread width is 13 to 26 feet. |

The AP All Purpose Series of Drag Scrapers feature a removable 4 x 4 inch beam tongue that extends to the rear moldboard and is held in place by a 5 x 5 inch heavy gusseted tube. These versatile units can perform countless jobs all year round; level ditches, build terraces, fill low spots, repair roads, spread gravel and top soil, and other earth moving projects. |
| These unique Venturi Air Sprayers feature the latest technology in low volume spraying. Orchard growers report they average 50% less fill-ups versus conventional air sprayers, which means getting your spraying done before the mid day winds come up. We also have available a wide range of distribution heads to fit your particular foliage profile. |
