One tool, many jobs: what else your F3020 electric companion can do

Ask most growers about the INFACO F3020, and they’ll tell you it’s one of the best electric pruning tools on the market. But what many don’t realize is that it’s more than just a high-performance shear—it’s a full farm system.

With a quick-change system and a growing list of compatible accessories, the F3020 transforms into a fencing tool, a hoof trimmer, and more. That means one battery, one grip, many field jobs—all in the palm of your hand.

In this article, we explore how the F3020 goes beyond vines, breaking down its multi-purpose capabilities and showing how farms can streamline their operations with a single versatile tool.

Beyond vines: fence, hoof, trees, and more

1. Precision pruning across crops

Let’s start with what it does best. With three interchangeable heads (Standard, Medium, Maxi), the F3020 is built for:

• Grapevines

• Orchard limbs (apple, almond, olive)

• Blueberry and cane fruit

• Citrus and stone fruit trees
  
  

Blade selection is easy:

• Standard head for vine shoots and canes

• Medium head for mixed-crop orchard cuts

• Maxi head for large-diameter limbs (2”+), centenary vines or older trees
  
  

2. Crimping and fencing: replace your pliers

With the fencing adapter kit and a Strainrite-certified crimping head, the F3020 becomes a fast, one-hand solution for:

• Vineyard trellis repairs

• Orchard fencing installations

• Animal paddock maintenance
  
  

Using aluminum sleeves in three sizes (2.5 mm, 3.15 mm, and 5 mm), you can crimp smooth wire, barbed wire, and high-tension livestock enclosures without fatigue or extra tools.

3. Hoof trimming for small livestock

With the hoof trimming head, you can trim sheep, goat, and small ruminant hooves using the same handle and battery.

This module includes:

• A safety-blunted trimming blade
  
  

• Reinforced housing for livestock safety
  
  

• Custom blade opening settings
  
  

Trims are quick, precise, and less stressful for both operator and animal. A great bonus for mixed farms.

4. Extension pole pruning

Need to reach high canopy limbs? The F3020 integrates with INFACO’s carbon fiber extension poles (up to 6 feet), ideal for:

• Fruit trees

• Overhead vines

• Hard-to-reach orchard rows
  
  

This keeps the operator safely on the ground, avoiding ladders or lift equipment.

 

5. Tree training and branch tying

Add the AT100036 tying tool, and your pruning shear becomes a powerful tying machine. It’s perfect for:

• Young orchard training (apple, cherry, citrus)

• Vineyard cane tying

• Trellis stabilization
  
  

Choose biodegradable wire in 4 gauges and select your desired wrap tension. Switch from pruning to tying in under 2 minutes with no tools.
