What is the versatile parallelogram support?

It’s at the heart of the “soil cultivation” range from SOUSLIKOFF. On its own, it can accommodate 4 complementary intercep tools: the VITALEX mechanical disc (weeding and soil mixing), the DECALEX mechanical intra-row plough (décavaillonnage / clearing soil from under the vines), the COUPALEX hydraulic mower (mowing and weeding), and the BINALEX mechanical hoeing blade (flat tillage).

What are the features of the parallelogram support?

It’s 100% mechanical with a spring-return system, ensuring smooth retraction and re-engagement of the tools. You can use it in either an inter-row or straddle-mounted (over-the-row) configuration.

How do you switch from one tool to another?

With just a few turns of a 22 mm wrench and 2 screw nuts, you can switch from one tool to another.

What is the advantage of the parallelogram support?

It’s the first investment that then lets you build up to a complete soil-cultivation solution. You buy the support first, and the arms afterwards.

A couple of notes on terminology, since this is customer-facing:

Décavaillonnage has no clean one-word English equivalent — I kept the French term with a gloss (“clearing soil from under the vines”), which is how most bilingual viticulture equipment sites handle it. If you’d rather it read fully English, “intra-row de-ridging” works too.

For enjambeur I used “straddle-mounted (over-the-row)” — the term “straddle tractor” is standard in English-language wine-equipment catalogues, so English-speaking growers will recognise it.
