In-between wheels tool carrier
The inter-row tool carrier facilitates work under the row in vineyards with medium to low density, without hindering manoeuvres at the end of the row and by improving the visibility of the tools. Its welded steel frame, which often slides, means it can be used in different inter-row widths. Moving parts and a mounting plate ensure precise adjustment. Centralised hydraulic control makes it easy to use, and the system frees up the tractor's 3-point linkage, allowing combined work without lengthening the tractor-tool combination.
Work objective
The in-between-wheel tool carrier has made it easier to work under the row in medium- to low-density vineyards. Because of its position, it does not interfere with manoeuvres at the end of the row and improves the visibility of tools at work.Components of the inter-row tool carrier

The tool mounting plate
The tool is attached to the tool carrier by means of a mounting plate. A variety of designs are available, the most common being flange or bug mounting.The hydraulic control
This centralises all the functions of the tool holder on a multifunction handle, making them easy to use.Settings and usage
Settings
The tool holders between the wheels allow implements to be positioned in front of the driver.This improves visibility and makes it easier to adjust working depth and centre alignment within the row. This equipment frees up the tractor's three-point hitch and enables combined operation without increasing the overall length of the combination (tractor plus implements).
Usage
In vineyards where the spacing between rows is less than 2 metres, it is often difficult to fit a pair of between-row weeders.- A tool carrier mounted between the wheels on a straddle tractor, also known as a ‘pole'.
