This work is very important to smooth the field. The longitudinal slope and the croosfall are very dangerus: the first one beause rain can erode the soil while the second one is very dangerous for the tractor that can turn over.

  1. Escavator putting the stones along the border of the field
  2. Bulldozer moving the earth
  3. Some views of the bulldozer and escavator at work (4-5-6).

 


These two works are very important for the stucture of the soil. The bulldozer moves the earth up and down for levelling it, but this work makes the soil too hard. Then the ripper crashes the soil 1,5 metres deep (this work is calledtrencing the soil) and the escavator by its rab makes the soil soft taking away the stones (this work is called screening). Now the soil is ready for planting the vines.

  1. Buldozer trencing the soil by the ripper
  2. A view of trencing soil
  3. Escavator putting the grab into the soil.
  4. Thinner soil coming out the grab.
  5. Escavator moving up the grab and shaking it.
  6. More soil coming out the grab.

After the grapes installation (one year) it is necessary to plant the stakes in the rows of grapes.

 

The wires are attached at the stakes and the rows (filare) are complete. Now the grapes have everything to grow and produce.
