Built to Last: Why INFACO tools outperform competition

When you invest in a professional-grade tool, you expect it to do more than work — you expect it to perform under pressure and tough conditions, and stay reliable season after season.

That’s exactly what sets INFACO apart. With over 40 years of experience engineering battery-powered agricultural tools, INFACO has earned its reputation among professionals across vineyards, orchards, and olive groves worldwide.

Today, growers in the U.S. are discovering why the F3020 electric pruning shear, the AT1000 tying tool, and the Electroliv olive harvester are among the top rated pruning shears and best electric farm tools available in the U.S. market. Let’s discover why!

INFACO key attributes

A legacy of innovation since 1984

INFACO invented the first electric pruning shear in 1984. Since then, it has continued to file patents and launch generations of tools specifically built for agricultural use.

What sets INFACO materials apart?

• Aircraft-grade aluminum housing for lightness and durability

• Reinforced carbon fiber heads on F3020 and AT1000

• High-speed brushless motors rated for continuous cycles

• Water- and dust-resistant electronics (IP54) for open-field work
  
  

Every component is field-tested, not just lab-certified. From the plastic polymers in the AT1000 cartridge to the reinforced gear cogs in the Electroliv, INFACO tools are built with precision machining and wear-resistant alloys.

Smart Features Engineered for Field Reality

• Adjustable blade openings for speed and safety

• Soft close safety systems to prevent injuries

• Modular head systems: swap pruning, crimping, hoof trimming, or tying wires in seconds

• Battery optimization electronics that extend runtime and protect against overuse
  
  

INFACO doesn’t just make pruners — it makes modular systems that adapt to your farm’s reality.

Reliability in harsh conditions: tools that keep going

Real-world test: Mud, Rain, Cold, and Heat

Growers in California, Oregon, and Texas often face:

• Morning dew, rain, or frost

• Dusty rows and post-harvest mud

• High summer heat during re-pruning
  
  

The F3020 and its companion tools are designed for this:

• Operate in temperatures from 23°F to 104°F (-5°C to 40°C)

• Resistant to splashes and moisture (IP54 rating)

• Motors rated for over 800,000 cuts per season

• Batteries built to last 1,200+ full charge cycles
  
  

In 2024 field trials, vineyard managers in Paso Robles and Walla Walla completed full-day pruning sessions in wet, cold, and dusty rows — with zero tool failures reported.

Service and Warranty: Why INFACO Wins on After-Sales

Built for Repairability, Not Replacement

INFACO tools are designed to be serviced, not discarded. This includes:

• Field-replaceable parts like blades, heads, cartridges
  
  

• Modular electronics for fast diagnostics
  
  

• Dealer kits for regular revisions
  
  

• Easy shipping to regional service hubs in the U.S.
  
  

With regular maintenance, F3020 users report tool lifespans of 8–12 years minimum — and significantly longer than most pneumatic or low-end electric alternatives.

Warranty Terms That Back the Promise

• 3-year manufacturer’s warranty on F3020 tools and AT1000

• Extended warranty options available for battery and motor

• Full parts support for up to 10 years after purchase

 

This long-term commitment is a major reason why INFACO is trusted by professional growers, contractors, and cooperatives worldwide.

 

Case Study: Durability in the Field

Client: 50-acre apple orchard in Washington State

Before INFACO:

• 3 teams with mixed manual/pneumatic tools

• Frequent hose damage in cold mornings

• 3–4 replacements per tool per season

• Training each new worker took 2–3 days
  
  

After INFACO F3020 + AT1000 combo:

• 1 tool per operator, compact and portable

• Zero breakdowns in 2 seasons

• Training reduced to 90 minutes per new hire

• Total tool turnover: none

The orchard manager reports that each tool “paid for itself in under 1.5 seasons and reduced maintenance costs by 70%.”

Electric Tools That Age Well

Unlike pneumatic systems that degrade with rust, air leaks, or compressor failures, INFACO tools:

• Don’t corrode

• Don’t leak pressure

• Don’t need fuel

• Don’t require complex setups
  
  

They start every time. They cut fast. And they last — by design.
