Jason Haas, Laura Wulff, and Neil Collins admire their new soil tiller -
Tablas Creek Vineyard, Paso Robles

The "gadget" on the front of their tractor is used about 1-4 times/yr - depending on conditions - to knock down the cover crop and till the soil. Cutting about 4-6" deep, the sensors and articulated heads allow the tiller to avoid the vine rootstalks, while still getting underneath the vines.
