LEGER SAS is an agricultural machinery company specialized in the design and manufacture of agro-equipment for the cultivation of stone fruits, nuts and viticulture. Created in 1981, LEGER SAS has now become a company with many partners and working with more than 1500 customers in France and abroad (mainly South Africa and Chile). We are based in Cancon (Lot et Garonne ) in the south-west of France, capital of the French hazelnut and main production region of "Pruneaux d'Agen". For 40 years, our machines have continued to evolve to meet the needs of farmers and adapt to the changes in the agricultural world of the 21st century. Adapting to these changes and listening to our customers has led us to offer increasingly complex and automated orchard maintenance and harvesting machines. RoboCut360 is our first robot model dedicated to pruning suckers at the base of trees and weeding in alleys.
