David Haycock Pruning Avocados 2022

Written by Brad Smith | Feb 14, 2022 1:58:01 AM

New Zealand is known worldwide for growing high grade avocados producing some of the highest quality fruit with beautiful nutty flavours and creamy textures.  Large areas of this healthy superfruit are grown commercially throughout the Bay Of Plenty, in the Auckland region , Northland and Far North. Hydralada Elevating Work Platforms are designed to work safely on all terrain and slopes of up to 20 degrees making them the ideal tool for picking and pruning these sub-tropical trees. 

These machines are extremely versatile using foot controls for drive and lift, leaving the picker hands free to harvest fruit high in the tree.  David Haycock is a master at operating these machines!  A grower himself, David has been driving Hydralada for more than 20 years and he says the machine is simply an “extension of himself”. 

Watch how David can make a Hydralada perform!  – “it’s all about getting the fruit off the tree efficiently and without damage, in the safest possible way”.
