3-Pt. Mount, String-Style Mower
The Ecosprint Between-Row mower from Berti Machine Agricole uses cords to clean up unwanted vegetation in tree and vine rows, as well as fence lines. The Italian-made mower is available with single or dual heads and in multiple models. Hydraulic cylinders move the mower from side to side, up and down, and at an angle. A tension spring allows the mower head to move in and out around the desired stem or post.
The 3-pt. mounted mower is available as the Ecosprint Easy and is powered by tractor hydraulics. Other models are available with two hydraulic pumps powered by the tractor pto. One pump is for the mowing head with its rotor and 16 cord filament sections. The second pump is for the cylinders.
The 2 1/2-ft. long mowing heads are positioned parallel to the ground surface for standard use. However, they can be tilted up to 65 degrees, depending on the model. As the cord filament sections rotate, the cords reach out and shred weeds and grass without damaging tree and vine trunks or stems.
Each of the 16 sections contains a spool of cord that feeds out automatically. The spools can be quickly reloaded by hand or with an optional mechanical winder.
Three height-adjustable steel wheels provide support for the mower at ground level. They’re also available as rubber wheels.
Options include an oil cooler, three and four-wire cable kits for cylinder adjustments, kits for counterslopes with hoses, quick couplings, a joystick, and electric over hydraulic valves.

“We carry the Ecosprint 90-140,” says Jason Kelly, Cummings and Bricker. “It’s the best fit for the spacing in the vineyards in western New York. It was what they were looking for.”
The pto-powered 90-140 retails for $14,715. Multiple smaller distributors handle Berti products in other parts of the U.S. and Canada. Kelly offered to connect interested FARM SHOW readers to them.
