Anyway these are pretty ridiculous secateurs:

I think they must be expensive. I saw a used pair for 750 EU, which
prompted me to do a search!

I skipped through the video after the fabulous intro, but the citrus
pruning at around 5m is pretty impressive. And I loved the tying-in
machine at the end.

Who knew?

Wow, the manual is almost as good as the film. I liked this particularly:

"It is imperative to follow the powering instructions to avoid the D11
fault to come up. Should this signal appear, please simultaneously turn
the control box power switch OFF AND ON."

I've always wanted a switch that could be simultaneously off and on, to
open and close the cage of my flying pig. Hm, if I had a cat in a box,
would this enable me to find out if it was alive and dead?
