Vineyards are serious business. The first step in establishing a vineyard is installing the trellis, which is the main support structure for the grape vines. Trellis installation and design is one of the most important tasks as a vineyard owner. It provides a solid framework for years of growth. Fencing the boundaries of your vineyard is an equally important task. Having a fence around the vineyard perimeter not only establishes boundaries but also keeps delicate grapevines safe from animals such as deer. Fencing is a needed protection that can help you enjoy a good future harvest.
Whether one acre or many, building and maintaining vineyard trellis and fencing is a reality that entails hard, backbreaking work.
Enter the Man Saver Post Driver™. Known as the best fence post driver in the world, the Man Saver now offers vineyard adapters that are engineered to take the strenuous labor out of installing vineyard trellis and fencing. Gone are the days of driving posts by hand and the resulting sore back for days. “Usability is of paramount importance to our customers,” states Dan Rohrer, founder and master machinist at Rohrer Manufacturing. “To address these needs, custom vineyard adapters have been developed to provide flexibility in use with the only multi-directional pneumatic post driver designed to ease the rigors of the job.” Our vineyard adapters are available for various configurations of line stakes.
Vintners are praising the Man Saver for its ease of use and ability to handle diverse soil types. “We used the Man Saver to install trellis in three blocks of Monkey Face Vineyard. The Man Saver saved us hundreds of hours, thousands of dollars and worked very well. I highly recommend it for vineyards,” says Kerry Damon, Vintner, Monkey Face Vineyard at Ranch at the Canyons of Terrebonne, Oregon.
