Customer Results & Experience
This Oregon Tier 2 grower reports being able to process a one-acre harvest largely on his own with minimal help using EZ Trim equipment. He says the system saves both time and money while helping maintain flower quality, and specifically references the value of EZ Trim's harvest-savings calculations when evaluating the investment.
Video Transcript
Hi there. I wanna do a quick testimonial for Easy Trim. Um, I remember 10 years ago on the website using the m saving calculator and being stubborn, feeling that it was too much of an upfront cost. However, after 10 years, I finally have both the easy true satellite and the mini Bud l I'm able to process my entire harvest from a tier two, that's one acre in Oregon by myself and just have minimal, extra help. The margin that this is safe, the essentially is only is the determining factor in what makes my business viable. Um, and also it helps with ensuring that product is, um, the integrity of the product is, is so high, other machines that really do destroy the, the product. So this not only saves me time and money, but also it ha allows me to provide my, um, my customers with a much higher quality product as well. So, um, there'd be seven, like I was, I probably would be retired by now if I pulled the trigger and just purchased both these machines.
SEAN IN MICHIGAN
Customer Results & Experience
Sean in Michigan reports that the EZ Trim Bud Bucker cut his harvest time by at least half while allowing him to operate with fewer hands. He describes the equipment as a strong investment for his operation and says the newer bucking nozzles improved how the machine handled the flower.
Video Transcript
Easy trim here for growers. Yeah, this is Sean over at Grand Rapids, Michigan. I got the butter about a week ago, and this thing is f*****g awesome. It cut my harvest in at least half the amount of time. The new nozzles you put on, just way better for the buds. They don't get flat when they get pushed into the flat surface. They come off real easy. Just the quality, the motor, and everything is just top-notch. I can't believe I haven't purchased this a lot sooner. If any of my friends ever want it, I'll definitely recommend it to them. This is hands down the best investment I have. That with a machine trimmer, you just can't go wrong. It'll definitely cut your harvest in half and less hands on deck. Highly recommend it.

MONTE FIORE
Customer Results & Experience
Monte Fiore Farms uses the EZ Trim Bud Bucker, Satellite and Bud Sorter as an integrated dry-harvest system. Daryl reports that the equipment reduced the labor-intensive process to roughly one-quarter of the previous time and describes EZ Trim as easier to use, quieter and more compact than a Twister he had used.
Video Transcript
I'm Daryl with Montefiori Farms, and we have a system in place where we use your de-budder, your satellite trimmer, and your table that sorts the buds into different sizes. So as you can see, the plants behind me, they are growing. We harvest these, bring them into our dry room. We hang them where they sit for several days to dry out, and then we come in and have a group of people cutting stems and branches off of the plants so that we can run them through your de-budder, your satellite trimmer, and then we sort everything out into different sizes and put them in bags and get ready to get them out the door. We do use your de-budder, your satellite trimmer, and your sorter, and we do use all three. You have to have all three to really get a good room going and to shorten the work time that you're doing. It's a beautiful system. It takes the process of hand trimming and cuts it way down. I have used the twister, and it's a big machine. It's loud. It takes up a lot of space. The de-budder, the trimmer, the satellite, the table, they take up less space, they're not loud at all, and they work super great. You've built really superior equipment that's easy to use. Anybody can come in and use them with a few minutes of training, and you guys have been great. If we've needed anything, you've been right there. Your machine takes that labor-intensive process and cuts it down to a quarter of the time, which is pretty amazing.
UPROOT ORGANICS
Customer Results & Experience
Uproot Organics directly compared flower trimmed by the Satellite with Sonia's own hand-trimmed flower and reports that the two looked pretty much the same. She also describes the Satellite as intuitive and easy to use and says the trimming fingers were gentler and less intrusive on the flower than she expected before using the machine.
Video Transcript
Hey guys. This is Sonia from Uproot Organics, and I'm here with the Easy Trim Satellite. Super impressed. I've been trimming for the past three hours, and I've got a great deal of my bud trimmed up. Super excited. Let's give it a go. I found it to be super intuitive. Super easy to use. I held some of my hand-trimmed bud up against the machine coming out of the trim, and it looks pretty much the same. It's pretty unbelievable. When I was looking at it online, the fingers to me looked not as gentle as they really are in real life. They're not intrusive at all on the flower. It's pretty incredible.
CURALEAF
Customer Results & Experience
Curaleaf reports improvements in product quality and processing time after adopting EZ Trim equipment. The team also praises EZ Trim's harvesting SOPs, drying and curing guidance, and customer support, describing the process guidance as an important part of successfully implementing the equipment.
Video Transcript
We just started using EasyCure about three, four weeks ago, and honestly love it. Far superior product than our herbal cure. We're seeing a lot of improvement in cut quality, and it's really shaving down our time on processing our medicine through. I think one of the things I really appreciated, you guys have been the only company I've seen that's done that, is you've developed an SOP of drying and curing and all that to utilize your guys' equipment the best that it can be used. Some of the other companies have that, but you guys really just from start to finish, different methods, dry, wet curing. I think you guys really covered all the bases to give people a good running start if they don't have that knowledge coming in. Your guys' price point to enter is a lot less than a lot of the other footprints for equipment. It's a lot меньше compared to other things. Your guys' customer service has been great. I'll ring you, you guys are right there on the phone. You guys are out here showing us tips and tricks. It's something I definitely would recommend to other people, and definitely want to see our more facilities start using it. I guess we kind of say my final thought is I've been really happy with it. I'm happy to meet you guys, and I look forward to being able to work with you guys more in the future.
DENVER CLIENT
Customer Results & Experience
In this unscripted trimming demonstration, the customer reacts positively to the finished flower, describing it as perfectly cut and indicating that little additional manicure appears necessary. This is a real-world demonstration rather than a quantified productivity testimonial, so the result should be viewed as the customer's observation of trim quality during the test.

That was the worst series of baseball. It was so f*****g awesome, man. Bottom of the ninth, two outs, down by two, homer to win. I don't know. Do you realize they- And he did it the day before, too. Well, there'll be three holes instead of six. That's it. Honestly, I'll pay to have an upgrade. No, we will- If you could somehow put this on mine where... Because that would save... Oh, that was beautiful. I'm telling you, I used to watch those stupid random videos that I find so satisfying. Uh-huh. This is like that. Stupid random videos that are satisfying. That's awesome. It's crazy. You've done it. I kind of like it slow. Yeah. With the dry, it's definitely- It's super gentle. I think all of that can go in there. Go ahead and turn it on. Oh, so wait. Should we turn it on first? Turn it on, yeah, definitely. So look, you flip up, put it on low. You don't hear any leaks? Go for it. Do it. If it's burning, you need to dump it. Go ahead and turn it. No, go ahead and dump it. I'll move. You might want to shut that front lid. You may want to shut this back one, too. There you go. Crack it. Yep. There you go. Well, yeah, I keep wanting to put it on low, dude. I've always done it on low, and I think it's done. Now, you may have to- Do you weigh that s**t, too? Yeah. You may have to empty this twice because it's going to fill up that chute. Right, because it's only going to fill up so much. So you're going to need to shut it in between. Do I turn the fan off while I'm doing it? Some people do. I don't. Okay, go ahead and empty that. And then close it and finish emptying it. Go ahead and open the gate up. Oh, right. Let the last of it out of there. And you're good. Go ahead and- It's like once you've got it stuffed back in there- Hit reverse. Hit reverse. Oh, wow. Now forward. There you go. And now go ahead and close her and dump her. And let's see what we got here. Bring it up here so I can give you light. Go ahead and grab a good size bud and tell me what you think. Man, these are bomb. I was like, I like the way that looks right there. That's perfectly cut. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Look at this little mutt. Dude, I love this f*****g machine, bro. Let's see that one. Yeah. I don't need to be back in here looking at it anymore. Hold still. Let me try and get some- It's right in the middle... of this f*****g thing. But I wouldn't, yeah, I don't even think I'd manicure this at all. So cut those aside, so whenever your boys come out here... I'm literally keeping this. Yeah. I'm going to put it in the trim machine. I'm going to put it right back in there when they get it and be like, "This is what you got to..." Man, easy trims the s**t. F*****g dope, bro. So look. But just remember now, when you're doing those, you've got to start with your hand, too. Which, to be honest, up until now, I thought that was actually a benefit. Thinking, like, "Oh, but I have more hands on." How much is your unicorn? What? How much is your unicorn? So- Awesome... I'm getting it a lot cheaper than I'm allowed to. I'm basically, because, just being honest with you, because of my boy who owns that store, I get whatever I buy. Yeah. Whenever I buy stuff- Hell yeah, man... yeah, whatever I f*****g want. Look at all them little f*****g Christmas trees. Every now and then, I sell him a hundred bucks. You know what I mean? F*****g perfect. Which store is that? It's in Florida. Oh. Damn. It really does keep it intact. F**k yeah. Hell yeah. You want to see? That's tight. But with that, you can still see that they are not broken. No. You just can't zoom in to the point of looking beautifully at them. I need you to- That's raw... send me a test of these. I'm like, I can't even tell you. I got you. I'm so much more impressed than I thought I was going to be. I am super f*****g impressed. So, well, let me plug it in so we can at least get your feet up. Where is the plug that was right in there? No, that's not it. Oh, it's like... We probably moved it when we were doing s**t. Yeah. Perfect. There's a reason- Hold on. All right. So I'll- Yeah, let's look at this trim here... take that off. Let's look at this trim. It's going to be a little mixed with wet and dry since we did some wet, but... So what I do is I'll take and I'll just give that a little, not real hard, because I mean- Yeah, just kind of aggregate it a little bit. The least amount of green is better. So there's your first one. All right. You got something to- Yeah. See, like I said, I would still press that, and I feel like I would absolutely get- Yeah. You will, but just- Yeah, we can pull that out, if you don't mind. I was trying not to fill the room up, and it's actually sealed. I'm going to cover this whole table with that just to make them stainless stable. Oh, yeah, like a laminate type? Exactly. Yeah. Oh, man. Take your- I don't know why, but I'm super, super excited to press this and see what happens to it. If we had finished all of this stuff here- Yeah. If you did a whole harvest, your outer bag would be pristine, Keith. This is going to be good. Yo, that's beautiful. Damn, bro. That's what I'm looking forward to pressing. Holy s**t. And you didn't do anything but trim the s**t, and it did it for you. That stuff right now- Because I get to my scale, bro, I'm getting a new scale. It'll be at my front door when I get home, so I'd like to weigh it before- Damn... you engage with no return on it. I don't think I watched that. I'm going to text you when I find it, because I just got to look through. Yeah, super impressed. I'm really impressed. All they do, it's a company that that's all they do. They grow pots for pressing, and that's it. So, all right, so this is bagged up. So, but ride this out, because-

HOW IT WORKS
Frequently asked questions
1. What is the EZ Trim Bud Bucker Mini?
The EZ Trim Bud Bucker Mini is a compact, single-operator cannabis bucking machine designed to remove flower from stems before trimming or other post-harvest processing.
A high-torque geared motor pulls stems through interchangeable protruding entry-hole tips while the flower is separated from the stem. The Mini is designed for operations that want automated bucking capability in a smaller footprint than the full-size EZ Trim Bud Bucker.
2. What is the difference between the Bud Bucker Mini and the full-size Bud Bucker?
The primary differences are capacity, number of operators, and machine size.
The Bud Bucker Mini is designed for one operator and has four interchangeable entry-hole sizes. EZ Trim lists wet production at approximately 40–75 pounds per hour.
The full-size Bud Bucker has two sets of four entry holes so two people can operate the machine simultaneously. The current full-size product page lists approximately 80–150 pounds per hour with two operators under suitable processing conditions.
For operations with lower production requirements or limited space, the Mini provides the same basic bucking concept in a smaller single-operator configuration. Higher-volume facilities can use the full-size Bud Bucker to support two operators simultaneously.
3. Can the Bud Bucker Mini process both wet and dry cannabis?
Yes. The Bud Bucker Mini can process both wet and dry cannabis.
Variable speed control allows the operator to adjust roller speed based on flower condition, strain, stem size, bud size, and moisture level.
Dry material generally benefits from slower operation, while freshly harvested material can typically be processed at higher speeds. The best setting should be determined by the condition of each batch rather than simply operating the machine as fast as possible.
4. How much cannabis can the Bud Bucker Mini process?
EZ Trim lists wet production of approximately 40–75 pounds per hour, as well as approximately one plant every 1–5 minutes with a single operator.
Actual production depends on plant size, strain, moisture condition, branch structure, preparation, and operator experience.
Throughput is also affected by how well the material is prepared before it reaches the machine, so production numbers should be treated as approximate rather than guaranteed.
Use the EZ Trim Harvest Calculator to evaluate potential labor and processing savings for your operation.
5. How should cannabis be prepared before using the Bud Bucker Mini?
For efficient bucking, remove large fan leaves and individualize branches from the main stalk before feeding them into the machine.
Leave approximately 2–3 inches of stem at the base so the rollers have enough material to grip. If a bud is located directly at the base of the stem, remove that first bud manually before feeding the branch.
Secondary branches should also be individualized where practical. Proper bucking preparation can improve efficiency and better prepare the flower for the trimming stage that follows.
For the complete harvest sequence, see the EZ Trim Harvest Playbook.
6. Which entry hole should I use on the Bud Bucker Mini?
The Bud Bucker Mini includes four interchangeable protruding entry-hole sizes: 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2".
Choose an opening that is slightly larger than the stem being processed.
Using an opening that is too large for a small stem can allow part of the flower to be pulled through the opening rather than separating cleanly. Branches with secondary stems should be fed through an opening large enough to accommodate their total thickness.
Selecting the appropriate entry hole helps improve bucking consistency while reducing unnecessary handling of the flower.
7. Will the Bud Bucker Mini damage large cannabis colas?
The Bud Bucker Mini's protruding entry-hole tips are designed to keep the flower away from the flat face of the machine while the stem is pulled through the rollers.
For particularly large or valuable colas that you want to preserve intact, remove the cola from the top of the branch before feeding the remaining stem through the machine.
If material cannot pass properly through the selected opening, the Mini's reverse function allows the operator to reverse the rollers rather than continuing to pull the branch forward.
8. Who is the Bud Bucker Mini best suited for?
The Bud Bucker Mini is designed for growers and commercial cannabis operations that need to reduce manual bucking labor but do not require a two-operator, full-size bucking station.
Its smaller footprint, single-operator configuration, variable speed, interchangeable entry holes, and wet/dry processing capability make it suitable for operations with moderate harvest volumes or limited processing space.
Facilities with enough harvest volume to keep two bucking operators working simultaneously should consider the full-size EZ Trim Bud Bucker instead.
