A method obtains a pollution condition of at least one component of a gardening and/or forestry apparatus. The method includes the steps of: obtaining at least one pollution parameter which describes at least one source of pollution prevalent during an operation of the gardening and/or forestry apparatus; obtaining the pollution condition of the component based on the obtained pollution parameter; and outputting and/or transmitting information based on the obtained pollution condition.

A hand-guided garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus has an inactive state, an active state and a variable setting, as well as an apparatus operator control element which can be activated by a user. In the inactive state, the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is designed to be transferred into the active state triggered by activation of the apparatus operator control element, and in the active state the garden, forestry and/or construction working apparatus is designed to change the setting and not to be transferred into the inactive state triggered by activation of the apparatus operator control element.

The present invention provides a computerized system for mapping an orchard, and a method for producing precise map and database with high resolution and accuracy of all trees in an orchard.

A manually guided implement possesses a guide tube, wherein a first mass body is disposed on a first end of the guide tube, and a second mass body is disposed on a second end of the guide tube. One of the mass bodies has a housing, and the other of the mass bodies has a tool driven by a drive motor. A power transmission mechanism for driving the tool between the first and second ends of the guide tube is guided in the interior of the guide tube. A first antivibration element is disposed between the first end of the guide tube and the first mass body. The guide tube in the direction of the longitudinal central axis thereof includes a first rigid sub-portion and a second rigid sub-portion that are connected to one another at an abutment location by at least one second antivibration element.

A working machine may include a pipe, a body unit, a tool unit, a shaft, and a speed increaser. The body unit may be disposed at a rear end of the pipe and include a prime mover. The tool unit may be disposed at a front end of the pipe and include a front tool. The shaft may be disposed inside the pipe and be configured to transmit power of the prime mover to the front tool. The speed increaser may be disposed between the shaft and the front tool. The speed increaser may be configured to make a rotational speed of the front tool higher than a rotational speed of the shaft.

A high reaching pruning apparatus is provided. The high reaching pruning apparatus has an elongated telescoping pole, a foot brace and a hook for grasping a tree limb. The high reaching pruning apparatus is suitable for easily pruning and trimming tall trees.

The climbing palm tree trimmer may ascend and descend a tree trunk of a palm tree in order to trim the top of the palm tree. A cutting ring may rotate within a housing ring so that a plurality of blades projecting upwards from the cutting ring may cut trimmings from the palm tree. The cutting ring may separate such that the cutting ring may be placed around the tree trunk and reassembled. The housing ring may likewise separate such that the housing ring may be placed around the tree trunk and reassembled. A plurality of drive units may move the climbing palm tree trimmer up or down the tree trunk. Up and down movements and activation of the cutting ring may be controlled from the ground using the trimmer control box.

A high reaching pruning apparatus having an elongated telescoping pole, a foot brace and a hook for grasping a tree limb. The high reaching pruning apparatus has an opening in the hook for receiving a saw blade.

A hand-guided motorized working apparatus and an operating device for the apparatus are provided. The operating device has a handle shank configured to be hand-gripped, an operating element receiving region adjoining the handle shank, and an operating unit which acts on the apparatus operation and includes an operating element which is held movably on the operating element receiving region for actuation by a finger of a hand gripping the handle shank, and has a finger rest region extending along an outer side of the operating element receiving region. In the operating device, the operating element is a pivot operating lever which is held on the operating element receiving region so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis extends with a main direction component perpendicular to a shank longitudinal axis of the handle shank, and wherein the finger rest region, in a longitudinal extension along the outer side of the operating element receiving region, has a bent and/or angled course with a circumferential direction component and an axial direction component.

The present disclosure generally relates to a system and method for providing individualized management for a plurality of plants. An exemplary system comprises a plurality of drones including a first drone, a docking station, and a server. The first drone is in assigned to a first plant of the plurality of plants and is configured to accommodate a plurality of combinations of drone attachments. The docking station comprises a plurality of drone attachments. The server includes a database related to the plurality of plants. The database includes location information associated with the first plant. The first drone is further configured to: make a plurality of visits to the first plant, gather plant-specific information associated with the first plant, obtain a prescription based on the plant-specific information, wherein the prescription is associated with one or more requirements, based on the prescription, provide care to the first plant.
