TPI 2 continuous all-wheel-drive as standard on all OPTIMUM carriers
TPI 2 continuous all-wheel-drive is a system that prevents slipping,whatever the speed of the machine and the turning angle (e.g. at the headland). The wheels receive the same oil flow rate at all times, even in the event of a loss of grip. The TPI 2 system stretches the limits of grip.
EASY TURN steering system
- Record ease of handling at headlands: The inner rear wheel reverses to shorten the turning circle and reduce the space required to manoeuvre.
- Work row by row without manoeuvring.
- On steep slopes or at a severe tilt, the headland brake locks the inner rear wheel to maintain optimal grip.
Eco-efficient optimum carrier
COST-SAVING
Optimises every drop of fuel:
- The EASY POWER system automatically adapts the engine speed to the needs of the tools and the carrier. This smart system ensures minimum fuel consumption while working or during road travel.
- ECO mode changes the engine power management. The engine speed increases less abruptly and less often. Eco mode lets you save up to 10% on fuel.
- The operator can manually increase the engine speed from the EASY TOUCH console for engine preheating or to facilitate specific tasks.
- The supervisor on EASY TOUCH lets you evaluate the actual fuel savings.
- The speed limiter regulator stabilises fuel consumption while working.

- All the components of the flexible sorting conveyor are replaceable and mounted on interchangeable skids.
- Continuous self-diagnostics with error messages displayed on the EASY TOUCH console.
OPTIMUM combined multitasking
The only carrier on the market capable of working two full rows with two different tools simultaneously
The growing concerns of vine growers about the profitability of their farms, particularly in light of restrictions on herbicides, climate change, new requirements regarding pesticides, and expanding acreage are what led us to develop COMBINED MULTITASKING.
The PELLENC multifunction carrier is equipped with mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic coupling systems for the quick fitting of one tool at the front
of the multifunction arm and another at the rear, so that two full rows can be worked at once.
Today, more than 80% of our carriers work in multifunction mode.
Features
There is no equivalent on the market. This is the only carrier capable of working 2 full rows with 2 different tools. That ability to use a combination of tools simultaneously required our engineers to
develop the carrier’s hydraulic, electrical,
and electronic capabilities.
The machine’s intelligence lies in its control console and touchscreen panel, which enable the operator to control two tools simultaneously using a wide range of automated systems. The interface is
designed to make the operator’s job easier and safe.
Some examples:
Presentation of the operator-assistance features in the case of the following assembly:
- Front tool on the multifunction arm: 1 full row trimmer
+ 2 x 1/2 row trimmers (= 2 full rows)
- Rear tool: Tool holder equipped with 2 cultivators (with or without inter-vine probes).
Operator-assistance features of the rear tool holder
It is equipped with 2 INDEPENDENT tool-holder arms, each working one row with the following automated functions:
- AUTOMATIC centring system between the vines thanks to the 2 probes located in front of the tools (width adjustment to adapt to different plantation widths).
- To facilitate the resumption of work in the rows, the arms are re-centred behind the carrier to move on to the next row with perfectly aligned tools.
- The height of each arm is also managed thanks to the ground probes. This means the whole assembly can work at a tilt.
- The hydraulics of the tool holder deliver power to the cylinder. The cylinder raises the rear tool when the arm is raised: this significantly reduces the need for manoeuvring room at the headland.
Operator-assistance features of the trimmer:
- Automatic width adjustment of the cutter bars from the cab (information on the plantation width and the canopy).
- Automatic folding and unfolding of the exterior cutter bars.
- The height adjustment and extension of the multifunction arm are also automated.
- Automatic width adjustment of the cutter bars from the cab (information on the
plantation width and the canopy).
- These automated systems are linked to the start-up of the cutter bars and are carried out in hidden time
while the driver turns around at the headland.
Operating the two tools while working
While working, the operator can manage the start-up of the two tools by pressing twice on the joystick:
- Two-click control. The start-up of the front tool is managed by the first click and the start-up of the rear tool by the second click. This lets the operator take account of the carrier’s progress in the row.
- Each time the tools are switched on or off, the automated systems on each tool save time at the headlands and free the operator from all the constraints associated with each tool.
The advantages of combined multifunction
- Automated systems that make the operator’s job easier
- Coupling and uncoupling at an accessible height
+ hydraulic coupling (less time consuming)
- Faster amortisation of machines
- Fuel saving
- Labour saving
- Time saving in the field
- Jobs carried out when the moment is right
- Farm productivity is two to four times higher than with an in-the-row tractor
