Key extra benefits for this model

• Swivel head aligns arms with tree row for easiest application of netting
• Mast assembly rotates a full 360º and can be pinned at 15º intervals.
• Mast has three length settings and is quick, simple and safe to alter.
• 2 pairs of end arms are supplied & 1 pair of extension arms are supplied. Arms with is from 4m to 9.5m.
• Each arm is telescopic, adjustable in length and easily folded up then pinned against the mast for transport

The head arms swivel from side to side "A&B" (including the centre eye behind "C") - either 30º or 45º. This allows the netting to be positioned directly over the tree row enabling easy application and removal of the netting when doing single rows. When retrieving, the end galvanised pipes "A" are swung around 180º which provides a different shape to the top arms for easy net removal from trees.

When positioning this eye from either the right hand or left hand row, all that is required is to rotate the mast until the pin re-locks. This is either at 30º or 45º off-set from the tractor.

Then remove two pins from the swivel head "B" and rotate the entire assembly to either 30º or 45º off-set back so that the arms are parallel to the row.

 Netwizz High Lift Swivel Head pictured above 

There is an automatic stop at 45º each way and the rear extension eye behind these arms is permanently pinned square to the arms.

When applying netting to two rows, this whole swivel head "B" is positioned centrally and telescopic extension arms are fitted enabling a top width of up to 9.5m for easy application or removal of netting over two orchard rows.

The bottom mast loop "D" is telescopic, for low trees it is retracted, for high trees it is extended,

Fast, safe removal of netting without tears

If netting gets caught the sensor automatically stops the spindle, preventing tears. The sensor automatically adjusts the spindle and wand speed to maintain a constant incoming net tension.

This unique sensor system (with rollers) greatly prolongs the life of netting.

Netting tension remains constant, no matter what size roll is being wound up or the tractor's ground speed.

Self loading and unloading of netting rolls

Full spindles are loaded using the tractor’s 3PL. The tractor is simply reversed into the roll, with the aid of self-locating guides, then raised with the linkage. If required, an extra roll of netting can be carried on the two arms which slide out.

In its standard narrow setting (shown above), the larger roll is 15m wide x 300m long, the smaller being 10m wide x 100m long both on 1.1m long spindles.

The steel spindles protrude from the end of the roll enabling easy safe mechanical handling.

The new NetWizz models are easy to adjust in width from:
1.15m outside wide for long distance transport
1.1m spindle length setting (1.55m outside)
1.4m spindle length setting (1.85m outside) as pictured on left
The sides now have 45º deflection to brush overhanging branches and vines to avoid catching. 

Netting wound tight on steel spindles

Netting is stored from the vine on square steel spindles and end covers are fitted when in use. These covers have high sides and large sealed ball bearings for easy operation.

New netting supplied in bags or on narrow rolls can be applied straight over the vine with the NetWizz without the need to first wind onto spindles.

The NetWizz comes with 8 spindles which are stored in the holder. These spindles are 50mm square x 1.6mm thick, being 1.1m long for standard setting and 1.4m for the wide setting.

Improvements 

After 20 years, we have redesigned all NetWizz models. Frames are now much stronger, hydraulic motors 40% more powerful & 25% faster winding, top loop and mast from bigger steel, spindle drive coupling stronger, spindle covers stronger, bottom steel side & top plate now twice as thick, more compact, safer, easier to operate. High Lift Swivel Head Mast & arms made from heaver steel and can raises higher.

Efficient handling of netting rolls.

A roll spike is available, which is clamped to fork-lift or front-end loader forks and is then inserted into the spindle. This system allows rolls to be stacked on top of each other for safe and very compact storage. It is strongly recommended when handling large rolls of netting. (OPTIONAL EXTRA)
