Over 1,000 acres pruned with Beagle!
The Beagle pruners and harvester replace uncertainty with precision.
They’re built to integrate directly into your existing operation – no calibration, no special technician, no wasted downtime – and to help you reclaim control of labor costs while improving vine health and harvest efficiency.
“We started a few years ago using sickle bar cane cutters to pre-prune but never found any labor or cost savings due to the difficulty of adjusting the sickle bars between crossarms and operating tractor. Beagle’s optical sensors fixed that.”

Beagle B100 & B200 AI Vineyard Pruners
The Beagle pruners combine precision hydraulics, AI vision, and easy-mount integration to help vineyard managers save time and labor while maintaining excellent vine health and productivity.
Key Features
AI Camera Guidance
The same advanced camera system used in both B100 and B200 identifies cordons, spurs, and shoots with millimeter-level accuracy.
Calibration-Free Setup
Pruners mount directly to your tractor, the software automatically detects cutter configuration and remembers settings, no special technician needed.
Simple Controls
A keypad interface lets operators start, adjust, and manage the system in minutes.
Fast ROI
Typical payback in one year or less through reduced labor costs and faster vineyard turnaround.
Reliable Throughput
Operates at 1.5-2 mpg, covering about 15 acres per day with clean, consistent cuts.
B100 and B200 Differences
While the camera guidance and hydraulics systems are similar for both B100 and B200 units, there are some key differences.
Pricing for both products includes equipment cost and flat annual service fee that covers repairs and replacement of electronics, software updates and support. The service fee is waived for the first year.
Optional B100 Add-On:
Beagle Brush System
Transform the B100 into a shoot-thinning and sucker-removal tool with Beagle’s interchangeable brush kits. Simply replace the pruning cutter with a brush head – no new hardware or recalibration required. Use your Beagle B100 for pruning in winter, then convert it for shoot-thinning and sucker removal in the summer!
Introducing Beagle’s See and Cut® Vegetable Harvester
Precision cutting isn’t just for vines. Beagle’s new AI-enabled vegetable harvester uses the same patented See and Cut® technology developed for vineyards to harvest vegetables quickly, cleanly, and safely.
By seeing each plant in real time, the harvester cuts at the exact stem location – replacing large hand crews while avoiding damage. This marks the next step in Beagle’s evolution: smart mechanization that works across crops and across seasons.
How Beagle’s AI Works
Every Beagle system uses a camera-based AI vision model trained on millions of photographs captured in real farms. These images include thousands of combinations of:
Vineyard locations and trellis systems
Growth stages
Lighting and weather conditions
from VSP to high-wire and quadrilateral trellis.
from dormant canes in winter to active canopy during shoot thinning.
morning, mid-day, dusk, and variable shadows.
That massive, diverse dataset allows Beagle’s AI to recognize vines in nearly any situation — and make the correct pruning or thinning decision in a fraction of a second.
The same model now extends to vegetables: trained on thousands of field photographs of celery and lettuce showing crop structure, soil contrast, and stem angles across time of day and growth stages. This See and Cut® model enables our harvester to identify exactly where to cut – minimizing waste and protecting delicate produce.

AI Meets Hydraulics
Beagle’s AI-guided hydraulic system continuously identifies cordons, spurs, and shoots while the onboard software determines where to cut. The controller then guides Beagle’s hydraulic blades with 0.25 inch precision, adjusting automatically as the tractor moves.
This combination of AI and hydraulic automation is what sets Beagle apart – reliable, real-time precision without complicated robotics or calibration.
Why it Matters
By combining AI intelligence with proven hydraulics and pneumatic system, Beagle delivers precise mechanization that matches the accuracy of a skilled hand crew and the reliability of modern automation.
What is an AI vineyard pruner and how does it work?
01 See
Cameras capture thousands of vine images – 4 images per second!
02 Decide
Images are processed in real time by a computer control box designed for use in rugged environments.
03 Cut
Hydraulic cylinders on the pruner are automatically controlled by an onboard computer to automatically cut at right height.
