GP-Series Berm Flamers Kill Weeds, Grass and destroy Insect Habitat without using pesticides, saving you up to 50% over other methods of weed & pest control. They are also used to remove leaves on vine canopy and an alley attachment is available to control growth between the berms.

Flamers Can Be Used For Different Applications Year-Round:

Red Dragon® GP-Series Vineyard and Orchard Flaming Equipment offer producers a variety of effective, economical, and pesticide-free options for their operations. Berm flaming is an effective weed & pest control method which can be applied as often as needed to keep the berm clean without damaging vines, trees, irrigation systems, vine protectors, or the environment. Red Dragon® GP-Series flamers burn clean, efficient propane, so there is no residue, run-off, or possible groundwater contamination. Flaming is an excellent method for both organic and conventional growers looking for an effective alternative to pesticides and manual labor. A complete winter burn down can also be applied to destroy insect habitat by burning ground cover, leaves, and grasses. Other applications of flaming include several vine canopy management procedures such as overhead trellis D.O.V. raisins. This allows more sunlight to the grapes and makes cane cutting easier.

GP-100

Which unit would be best for my operation?

If you farm over 40 acres we recommend the GP-1000. If you have a small farm under 40 acres or if you have tight row spacing, we recommend the GP-750.

How fast can I travel while flaming?

With the GP-1000, 5 mph is the maximum. With the GP-750, 3 mph is the maximum.

What is the average fuel consumption per acre?

You can expect to use between 3 and 6 gallons (15-23 Liters) per acre depending on the spacing of the berms.

Will flaming damage my vines or trees?

No, not as long as you keep moving.

Will flaming damage my irrigation lines and sprinkler heads?

When berms are free of old residue and debris, flaming will not damage irrigation lines, sprinkler heads or vine covers. There is, however, a possibility of damage to irrigation systems and vine shields if your berms contain old residue which could catch fire. If you are going to flame orchards with exposed sprinkler systems or vine shields, keep moving when the torches are burning and clean up the berms throughout the growing season and as needed in the fall to reduce residue.

  

The GP-1000 is our largest Berm Flamer unit and is designed to hold a 120 gallon tank. It comes with everything you need to start flaming.

LT 6 x 18 Super Torch
The operator control box allows great flexibility to the operator.

With 120-gallon tank capacity and our new LT 6 x 18 Super Torches, the GP-1000 is perfect for larger vineyard and orchard operations. These two features combine to provide faster ground speeds and more acres covered per day. This larger unit is still much lighter than a larger tank on a trap wagon which is an important soil compaction consideration.

The GP-1000 is easily pulled behind a small tractor or a larger ATV and comes equipped with a 2" ball hitch. The boom arms can be adjusted in length and in height and feature a spring-loaded break-away system should you accidentally hit a vine or tree trunk. The boom arms also conveniently pin vertically for safe and easy transport.

 

The GP-1000 features Powerful LT 6 x 18 Super Torches.
The LT 6 x 18 Super Torches are rated 3,000,000 BTU/hr each, and produce flames exceeding 48" in length and 18 inches in width. This provides excellent coverage and enables the operator to flame at faster ground speeds (up to 5 m.p.h.) than when flaming with smaller burners. Fuel consumption will range from 4-6 gallons per acre (15-23 liters). The LT2x8 torch can be substituted at no additional cost for extended arm application in orchards. This reduces weight at the end of the arm.

Complete Control From The Driver's Seat.
Another great feature of the GP-1000 is the operator control box which can be mounted for easy access by the operator. The electronic solenoid system allows for master shut down and control over each burner independently making the unit safe and easy to operate. This also allows the operator the option of using either one or both sides at a time.
