Farmgard’s Range of Berti Mowers
Farmgard began working with Berti in 1985 after recognizing the need for higher-quality mulching and mowing equipment in New Zealand. After trialing several major international brands, it became clear that long-term success in farm machinery depends not only on strong equipment, but also on the people behind it.
That search led Farmgard to Berti — a family-owned manufacturer based in Verona, Italy, with over 50 years of engineering experience.
From the beginning, Berti worked closely with Farmgard to adapt their machinery to suit New Zealand farming conditions. The results were outstanding, with Berti machines in many cases outperforming locally manufactured equipment by up to five times.
Why Berti Stands Out
Key innovations include:
• Internal rotor bearings for improved durability
• Higher-grade steels for extended service life
• Unique designs for finer, more efficient mulching and mowing
This partnership has helped Farmgard become a market leader in premium mowing and mulching solutions across New Zealand.
Orchardists — some of the most demanding operators in the industry — continue to choose Berti for its exceptional build quality, reliability, and the trusted nationwide backup Farmgard provides.
Choosing the Right Mower for Your Farm
Farm machinery is a long-term investment. Selecting the right mower ensures:
• Reduced downtime
• Lower maintenance costs
• Increased productivity
• Long-term durability
Below is a breakdown of the main mower types and where each is best suited.
Orchard & Vineyard Grass Mowers
Front and rear mounted finishing mowers are designed to maintain short, tidy grass once heavier growth has already been cleared.
Best for:
• Orchards
• Vineyards
• Lifestyle blocks
• Lawns and maintained pasture
Key benefits:
• Produces a clean, even finish
• Cost-effective alternative to ride-on mowers
• Mounts easily to the front or rear of tractors
These mower heads effectively turn your tractor into a high-performance ride-on mower, offering excellent cutting quality at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated machine.
Inter-Row Mowers for Orchards & Vineyards
Inter-row mowers are purpose-built for mowing around obstacles such as trees, posts, and vineyard rows.
How they work:
A mower disc is mounted on a floating mechanical arm attached to the front or rear of the tractor. When it encounters a tree or post, the arm gently retracts and guides the mower around the obstacle before returning to position.
Ideal for:
• Orchards
• Vineyards
• Shelter belts
• Fencelines
They are often used alongside finishing mowers to provide a complete grass management solution.
General Purpose Mulchers & Pruning Mulchers
General-purpose and pruning mulchers are designed for heavier vegetation, prunings, weeds, and tougher conditions commonly found in orchard and vineyard environments.
These machines are ideal for:
• Mulching prunings
• Controlling weeds and regrowth
• Maintaining shelter belts
• Handling heavier grass and scrub
Featured Berti Pruning Mulcher – Medium Duty Series
The Berti Medium Duty Pruning Mulcher is ideal for weed control in orchards and vineyards.
Key features include:
• Manual tilt and height adjustment
• 650mm disc on adjustable swing arm
• Hydraulic tractor operation
Standard Berti build quality:
• Reversible 3-point linkage with mechanical side shift
• Adjustable rear roller
• Freewheel gearbox protection
• Fully enclosed rotor bearings
• Heavy-duty hammer flails
• Double-skin reinforced frame for added strength
This robust design ensures long life, high performance, and minimal maintenance.
