Twister T6 Trimming Machine with Leaf Collector Vacuum VS GreenBroz 215 Dry Standard Trimmer

 Pruning buds sucks!

This is labor intensive and time consuming.

If you run a sizable business, you’ll need an army of trimmers to complete your harvest.

Or a single trimmer.

Today’s large industrial bud trimmers can displace up to 75 workers, but even a small hand-held hand trimmer can greatly speed up the process.

The key is to buy a trimmer that fits your needs.

This is where we come in. This article will help you find the best bud trimmer for you.

Why do growers use trimmers?

1. Save time
The biggest advantage of using a bud trimmer is that it is efficient and time-saving. As mentioned, it takes one person about four to ten hours to prune a pound of flowers by hand.

If run in tandem, some bud trimmers can trim up to 172 pounds per hour! It’s not just a significant difference — it’s a game changer.

If you’re a commercial grower, these massive time savings can have a significant impact on your bottom line. You can reallocate the time your employees will spend on other essential tasks such as packaging, marketing or distribution.

2. Save money
Using a bud trimmer not only saves time, but also money. This might seem odd considering you obviously have to buy a trimmer, and it costs money, but you don’t have to hire as many workers to trim by hand.

You also don’t have to worry about product spoiling because your backbone can’t trim everything fast enough. As a bonus, it also means not dealing with the hassle of lazy workers who may or may not be there, or worse, those who steal.

Lowering your labor costs will reduce your overhead and your profits. By reducing the time it takes you to get your product off the line and sell it, you can even increase your productivity, which means more money in your pocket. Efficiency is probably the second biggest advantage of using a bud trimmer.

3. Ensure consistency
Another benefit of using a bud trimmer is that the buds are more even. Manual pruning, especially with large crops, involves a lot of people pruning, which means a lot of different skill and effort levels.

Unless you’re running a very strict vessel under strict quality control — which adds more time to the harvesting process — the potential for product variance is high.

With a bud trimmer, each bud is trimmed the same way, and the final product is overall consistent. For your end buyer — it matters.

Skill level is also a factor that makes machine pruning better than manual pruning. You don’t need to train the machine or worry about it working really bad, as long as you have a good machine, that’s it.

Bud Trimming Machines Buyer’s Guide

There are various sizes, capacities, professional, small, and large-scale trimmers. We can easily qualify them into three main categories:

Manual bud trimmer
Automatic bud trimmer (electric ones)
Industrial bud trimmer (giant machines and also expensive ones)

However, deciding on the perfect trimming machine for yourself requires a lot of things to consider before you can pick one.

So let’s look at what factors you should consider before choosing the perfect bud trimmer for yourself.

Size Of Crop

First of all, you need to understand that the size of the crop decides how big and small an investment you should make in the bud trimming machine.

For instance, if you are a small-scale grower, you should ideally go for a compact and small-sized bud trimmer that can fit your budget.

On the other hand, if you are a medium to large-scale grower, you might need a professional trimmer that can save you time and get the job done quickly.

So, it all starts with the size of the crop.

Depending upon your cultivation level, you can consider the factors further.

Decide Your Budget

Money matters in everything.

You must have already invested in growing equipment and other tools. And now you are about to invest in another product — trimming equipment.

And therefore, before that, make sure you set the budget for it.

Choose whether you need a manual trimmer or automatic. The automatic bud trimmers cost more than the manual ones.

The ultimate purpose should be to get the best trimming machine.

So, depending upon your crop size and budget, you can decide whether it fits into an automatic or a manual one.

Small, Large, Professional, And Commercial Machines
This factor starts from the very first point — crop size.

Whether cultivating at a commercial level or for personal use, you must choose equipment accordingly.

If you are growing at a professional level and want to save time and money, then you should go for professional trimmers.

However, if you are a small cultivator, you can go for either manual trimmers or automatic trimmers that can easily get your job done.

Conclusion

Some bud trimmers are more intuitive than others, so be sure to read the owner’s manual before you start; you don’t want to waste precious buds troubleshooting!

A hand-cranked trimmer requires some manpower but little attention, and you can easily shake it while watching TV. Other electric trimmers are all about “set it and forget it,” although most take less than an hour to process a few pounds, so you won’t forget it for too long!

Always check whether your trimmer is best for wet or dry trimming. These require different kinds of blades to handle the moisture levels in the plant.

Most trimmers come standard with dry trimming blades, you may need to purchase additional blades for wet trimming.
