ABSTRACT:
A grapevine suckering tool uses a rotor 10 having sucker flails 11 to remove suckers from the bases of a row of grapevines 12. The axis of rotor 10 is arranged within acute vertical and horizontal angles from the direction of the grapevine row. Sucker flails 11 are flexible straps each mounted on rotor 10 to have an outward extending length and a width oriented axially of rotor 10. As rotor 10 spins near the base of the grapevine row, flail straps 11 slap downward toward the vine base and drag over the ground knocking down, damaging, and breaking the suckers at the base of vine 12. Cylindrical sweeper brushes 32 can also be mounted on rotor 10 in place of flails 11 to sweep debris on the vineyard floor.
