Over the past few years in the hemp industry, there has really been a need for quality CBD hemp harvesting equipment. But which hemp farming equipment do you need? This is the number one question we get asked.
The answer is, it varies. It’s going to come down to the size of your hemp crop, the hemp farming equipment you have, and your budget.

Extracting CBD Hemp Plants FROM THE GROUND
You’ll need to get your hemp plants out of the ground. It is going to depend on your needs and of course how many plants you have.
Pruners
Option 1: If you have less than 1000 plants, some manpower and some large pruners will do. You can get some good ones from Felco. They cost about $100 each. Some of our customers did close to 1000 plants with about 8 workers, and it went pretty fast. Again, it will vary for every hemp farm and your setup.
KIRPY CBD Hemp Harvester
