Lopping Shears and Manual Pruning Loppers Ausonia

Ausonia manual pruning and lopping shears allow you to prune fruit trees, olive trees, shrubs and dense canopies while working from the ground on branches that are more difficult to reach. The brand was founded in Maniago, in the Friuli district that has been associated with metalworking for centuries. The Nanutti Beltrame family founded the company in 1919 and registered the Ausonia trademark in 1930. From 1970, the range expanded into new sectors and the company also began targeting international markets. Today, Ausonia combines the craftsmanship developed in the local area with modern manufacturing technologies, producing tools for both professionals and gardening enthusiasts. In the AgriEuro selection, the different configurations meet practical requirements: cutting branches up to 35 mm with compatible models, reaching points inside the canopy or adjusting the pole length to the working height.

The available range is divided into three types, which differ in structure and operating system:

• Ausonia pruning and lopping shears on extension pole: they reach high branches or branches inside the canopy while keeping the operating point at the base of the pole. Fixed-pole models prioritise simplicity, lightness and stability during repeated operations;
• Ausonia professional telescopic pruning shears with rope: they combine an extendable pole with a rope-operated system to adapt the reach to the position of the branch. The pulley system transfers the pulling force to the cutting head and reduces the force required from the operator;
• Ausonia pruning shears on extension pole: they make controlled cuts on raised branches, suckers and vegetation positioned beyond the normal reach of short pruning shears. The extended structure facilitates work on trees and hedges without bringing your hands close to the cutting area;

On AgriEuro, you can select Ausonia manual pruning and lopping shears according to their technical features, making it easier to find the tool best suited to your pruning requirements. Branch height, wood diameter, frequency of use and canopy density guide the choice between a fixed pole, telescopic pole and different operating systems.

• Maximum cutting diameter: indicates the maximum branch thickness compatible with the cutting system. Among the Ausonia models available on AgriEuro, there is a pruning lopper designed for branches up to 35 mm;
• Pole configuration: the fixed pole provides a constant length and a straightforward structure that is easy to position. The telescopic pole, on the other hand, allows the reach to be adjusted according to the height and distance of the branch;
• Operating mechanism: the control can transfer movement through a handle, an internal rope or a pulley system. The internal rope remains protected inside the structure and reduces the risk of the cable becoming caught in vegetation;
• Cutting type: the bypass cut allows the blade to slide past the counter-blade and is suitable for green branches. The clean cutting action limits crushing of the wood when the diameter and hardness fall within the values specified for the model;
• Head and blades: available configurations include an adjustable cutting head and chrome-plated blades with Teflon coating. Angle adjustment makes it easier to reach hidden branches, while the non-stick coating helps prevent residue from building up on the surface;
• Materials and grip: the aluminium tube keeps weight down while maintaining a rigid structure during cutting. Ergonomic, non-slip grips help ensure a stable hold during prolonged use;

For hobby use, a fixed-pole model is suitable for seasonal maintenance of small orchards and gardens. Semi-professional and professional configurations are designed for more frequent work, where adjustable reach, rope operation and reduced effort are important.

The different types of Ausonia manual pruning tools are designed for different working heights and branch diameters. The choice also depends on the space available inside the canopy and the frequency of pruning. Pole, cutting head and operating system determine how the tool behaves during pruning.

Ausonia pruning and lopping shears on extension pole bring the cutting head towards branches positioned above the operator or inside dense canopies. This configuration is useful for pruning olive trees, fruit trees and ornamental plants where short pruning shears cannot reach the selected point. One Ausonia model available on AgriEuro features a 200 cm fixed pole, a suitable solution for users who frequently work at a similar height and prefer a constant length. The aluminium construction keeps the weight down and makes it easier to move from one branch to another. The adjustable head allows the blade to be positioned according to the direction of wood growth, even in restricted spaces. The operating system integrated into the pole prevents the cable from remaining exposed among leaves and branches. This type prioritises control, reach and operational continuity during periodic pruning from the ground.

The main features concern the structure, cutting action and tool control:

• 200 cm fixed pole: keeps the distance between the grip and cutting head unchanged, simplifying positioning during repetitive work. Its length makes it possible to work from the ground on branches beyond normal arm reach;
• Adjustable head: positions the cutting system according to the location of the branch. The adjustment helps maintain a more favourable cutting angle in dense canopies;
• Internal cable: transfers the operating action without leaving the rope exposed along the pole. This solution reduces snagging on small branches and foliage;

Ausonia professional telescopic pruning shears with rope allow the pole length to be changed according to the height of the branch. This adjustment is practical when the same pruning session involves plants of different heights or cutting points distributed over several levels. The rope-operated control activates the head from the lower part of the tool, keeping hands away from the blades. In systems equipped with pulleys, the pulling force applied by the operator is multiplied to reduce the effort required for cutting. The pole should only be extended as much as necessary, as greater length affects leverage, precision and fatigue. These pruning shears are suitable for frequent maintenance of orchards, olive groves, parks and gardens with mature trees. Before working, the telescopic sections must be checked to ensure they are securely locked and the branch diameter must be compared with the limit specified in the model's technical data sheet.

The distinctive elements help assess reach and workload:

• Telescopic pole: adjusts the length of the tool to the actual distance of the branch. The sections must be correctly locked before force is applied to the cutting system;
• Rope-operated system: transfers the pulling force from the operator's position to the head. The controlled movement makes it possible to check blade alignment before closing;
• Pulley system: increases the effect of the force applied to the rope. The advantage is particularly useful for repeated cuts and on branches compatible with the tool's capacity;

Ausonia pruning shears on extension pole are designed for raised branches of limited diameter and points that are difficult to reach with conventional pruning shears. The compact head facilitates targeted work on suckers, internal branches and vegetation that alters the shape of hedges and shrubs. The pole extends the reach without requiring the operator to stand close to the cutting area. This solution is suitable for periodic maintenance of gardens, small orchards and ornamental plants. The result depends on correctly matching blade opening, branch diameter and wood hardness. Cutting beyond the stated capacity may require excessive force and damage the cutting edge. For this reason, the technical data sheet of the individual model remains the reference for limitations, pole length and head configuration. A clean, sharp blade also facilitates smooth closure around the branch.

This type focuses on precision, reach and ease of operation:

• Compact cutting head: reaches selected branches without taking up excessive space inside the canopy. Correct alignment prevents sideways twisting during closure;
• Extension pole: takes the shears beyond the normal working height of short pruning shears. The structure facilitates pruning medium-height branches from the ground;
• Controlled cutting: allows the selected branch to be isolated before operating the blade. The maximum capacity stated by the manufacturer must not be exceeded, especially on hard or dry wood;

Lopping shears use long handles to increase leverage on branches, whereas pole pruning shears position the cutting head at the end of a pole. Pole pruning shears are therefore suitable for raised branches or branches inside the canopy and are operated from the ground using a handle or rope.

The choice starts with working height, maximum branch diameter, wood hardness and frequency of use. You should then compare fixed and telescopic poles, weight, operating system, cutting type and head angle in the technical data sheets of the individual models.

The maximum diameter varies according to the model and must be checked in the relevant technical data sheet. The Ausonia range on AgriEuro includes a fixed-pole pruning lopper designed for branches up to 35 mm; the hardness and condition of the wood can affect the effort required.

A fixed pole is suitable when branches are often located at similar heights and a simple, lightweight structure is preferred. A telescopic pole allows the reach to be adapted to canopies and plants of different heights, but it must be carefully locked before cutting.

The pulling force applied to the rope is transferred to the head and causes the blade to close around the branch. On models with pulleys, the system multiplies the applied force and makes repeated cuts easier within the tool's stated capacity.

In a bypass cut, the blade slides past the counter-blade in a movement similar to scissors. This configuration is suitable for green branches because it produces a clean cut and limits crushing when the blade is sharp and the branch is compatible with the tool.

Yes, even chrome-plated and Teflon-coated blades must be cleaned after use to remove sap, resin and plant residues. Sharpening and lubrication must be carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions, preserving the geometry of the cutting edge and coating.

Pruning shears on extension poles are suitable for many selective pruning operations on fruit trees, such as removing suckers and small internal branches. Suitability always depends on the diameter, hardness and position of the branch, as well as the pruning requirements of the species.

Before cutting, check the locking systems, blade, rope and pole stability, while keeping the area beneath the branch clear. The tool must be used within the limits specified by the manufacturer, with suitable protective equipment and never near power lines.

After cleaning, the tool should be dried and stored with the blade guard fitted, where provided. A dry environment, the safety lock engaged and the telescopic pole fully retracted reduce exposure to moisture and accidental impacts.
