Ever used a pecan vibrator

I have no idea so this is just a guess but I would think that a slower rate of vibration might to be less damped and get the branches moving better.

Your words describing the use of "hard cable" or "chain" has given me a mental image of ringbarked trunks. I'm sure you wouldn't be so silly so I'm no closer to understanding what a pecan vibrator might work.

Guess I'll have to wait to see the youtube clip to see if it operates anything like an olive tree shaker or other nut tree shakers.

yeah, i was thinking that too. at least you need a strap or padding or you will get a partially ringed tree. and i would not attach it to branches but to the main trunk.

this is usenet. silly is to be expected.

i'm unlikely to see a vid, but the frequency sounds very high, but if it gets the tree to vibrate that is likely to be enough.

if anything, flicking the on/off switch should add enough chaos for it to be effective.

You may have already seen this site or similar. Yhey sell used equipment. You might get some ideas just from looking at what they have.

I probably forgot to attach it.
