THE TRIFECTA
Video Transcript
Hey, this is Joe with Easy Trim and Harvesting and Consulting, and I want to quickly share with you how Easy Trim can help increase your profitability when harvesting. The key to a successful and profitable harvest is to reduce the amount of touch-up required prior to packaging. Regardless of the trimming equipment you're currently using or the size of your harvest, if you must touch up 70% to 80% of the buds prior to packaging, you are not harvesting as efficiently as you could be. Easy Trim is a Colorado-based company that for the last 12 years has developed harvesting equipment and systems that reduce the touch-up process from 70% to 80% down to 30% to 50%. Whether you prefer to trim wet or dry, have a large staff or small, our products and services can be tailored to complement your unique situation and current resources. When you factor all the steps of the harvesting process, including defanning, cutting, weighing, drying, bucking, trimming, touching up, curing, and packaging, reducing the handling through this process is what increases profitability. Ask yourself, if there was a company that provided equipment and systems that cost less, produce better bud quality, offered on-site consulting, was built by growers, and had a money-back guarantee, would you have anything to lose?

If you're a professional in the cannabis industry and you've been searching for a machine that gives you the best finished product with the lowest cost and the most efficient way possible, then Easy Trim is your solution. They do a better job than any other machine on the market. We spent years with different machines, wet, dry, different methods, and by finding this machine, we have been able to save time, money, labor, and it has been a godsend to us. My name is Paul Whitehouse. I'm one of the facility managers here at Super Farm LLC here in Denver, Colorado. We are a recreational supplier of cannabis, and we are one of the highest yielding per square foot facilities in the country, and we're very proud of that here. So our facility here in Denver, this particular facility in itself, harvests between 180 to 120 pounds every three days, year-round. We're very proud of the amount that we're able to put out, and very proud of the quality that we're able to put out at the same time, which I feel is unmatched. So during the time that we've been operating this facility, we've tried out different machines, both wet trimming and dry trimming. We've tried the Twisters, we've tried Centurions, we've tried the Green Bros. And in both sides, they do too much damage to the flower to where you're not able to put out the product that is a true representation of what it looks like when it's growing. Because the amount of damage that's done to the plant and the amount of waste that comes off of it, you're losing money by losing flower weight. And then one of the best things about the Satellite is it does such a good job taking off the dry trim that it doesn't even affect the physical shape of the bud. It doesn't round it off. The Satellite is by far and away, the best dry trim machine we've ever used. It puts out a product that is cleaner, with less waste, less damage to your product, so that you can put out a finished product that is a true representation of what the plant looked like growing. And you can be proud of the product that you're putting out because you're not just shaving off the edges, cutting the corners, and damaging the trichomes on it. You leave the bud intact so that if a strain has a characteristic, it holds that characteristic, which is something that I feel the Satellite does that no other trim machine can do, is leave the true shape, size, and characteristic of the bud intact without damaging it and just rounding it off into a round bud that looks like any other bud. With the Easy Trim here, it does such a good job taking off a leaf that it almost looks like it's hand trimmed. It almost looks better than hand trimmed. It does such a good job that our quality control side of it, it comes out of the machine pretty much ready for sale. And there's no other machine that comes even close that we have to spend hours and hours of man hour, time, money, quality controlling this product before it goes to sale. With the Satellite, it takes it down to a level where our ability to speed up and bag our product and get it on store shelves is faster than it is with anything else. One of the cool things about the Easy Trim guys is when we did reach out and talk to them about wanting to use their products, they brought a whole team into our facility, and they didn't just bring the Satellite, which we were talking about. They also brought other products they had, like the Debudder, that you can take off an entire stem worth of buds in five seconds versus what a person can do in 30 seconds, which doesn't sound like a lot until you look at a scale of a room with 88 plants and you're harvesting 80 to 120 pounds every three days. One of the great parts about using the Satellite is it collects all of your trim in these different micron filtration bags at the bottom of it, so you get your fan leaves separated from your sweet leaf all the way down to where it comes out with your keif product already separated. It's not a separate process that you have to do to your trim. When you are done using the machine, it already comes out with this ready to go, and you can use it to sell to extraction companies. As a wholesaler, being able to use every part of the plant is important, and it makes it easy to be able to have different levels of quality. And so when people buy it, they pay for what they're getting, and they know what they're getting because it is broken into each level and it does it for you. It's just part of running the machine. And when you end that, you have your finished product separated for you, which no other machine does. The Easy Trim will literally cut your harvest time in half and cut the amount of labor that you have to put into it in half. Saving money is important, and the passion that the crew at Easy Trim brings to the industry is second to none. They don't make a machine and say, "This is the machine, and here you go." They're constantly improving and working with growers like us. They put more effort and time and thought into their products than anybody else in the trim industry, as far as I'm concerned. There's nobody that comes close. That machine is second to none above Twisters, above Green Bros, above Centurions, above any trim product I've ever seen on the market. You will save time, money, labor, and get a better finished product that is a true representation of what the flower is without compromising your quality in any way.
KING CITY GARDENS
Customer Results & Experience
King City Gardens reports saving about 100 trimming labor hours per week with EZ Trim and reducing the share of flower requiring touch-up from roughly 80% to 20%. After about five years using EZ Trim equipment, Justin also says the finished flower retains a more natural, hand-trim-like appearance.
Video Transcript
Uh, hi, I'm Justin with, uh, king City Gardens. I've been running, uh, easy trim trimmers for about five years now. Um, it's saving us about a hundred hours a week on our trim jobs and our buds are actually coming out, um, like a hand trimmed, uh, product instead of a rounded off. Like I, a lot of the other trimmers I've used Moia, so use a couple other ones and these, those come out grounded all with a, these come out with Intact and still popping up just likey. Um, I've used a bunch of other trimmers. Um, it's not really coming out like I wanted to with those trimmers, but these trimmers, they're actually coming out, not combed up. They're actually coming out super intact, like it was almost a hand trimmed job, minimal touches, but went from, uh, 80% down to, uh, 20% touches right now, which is amazing. I don't want those fingers busting my tricombs off my heads. Um, I f*****g love these trim dude. It f*****g comes out. You can still see the nose on there. It's not rounded at all. You see 'em pop out and it's actually all the way down inside of that. So if you run a nice easy trim drop to where it's gonna actually make your product look like a hand trim drop of minimal touches, tricombs still intact, and all your notes still looking like f*****g fire. There you go man. Check out Easy trim.
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.
Frequently asked questions
1. What is the EZ Trim Trifecta System?
The EZ Trim Trifecta combines three commercial cannabis harvesting machines into one integrated system: the Bud Bucker, Satellite Bud Trimmer, and Bud Sorter.
Each machine addresses a different stage of post-harvest processing. The Bud Bucker removes flower from stems, the Satellite trims the flower, and the Bud Sorter separates finished flower by size while also supporting quality-control and touch-up workflows.
Together, the system is designed to reduce bottlenecks between these processing steps rather than optimizing only one part of the harvest.
2. What order are the Trifecta machines used in?
A typical dry-processing workflow is:
Bud Bucker → Satellite Bud Trimmer → Bud Sorter → Touch-Up/Quality Control → Packaging or Curing
The exact workflow can vary depending on whether the operation trims wet or dry and how flower is dried, equalized, cured, and packaged.
Proper preparation between steps is important. For example, moisture consistency and flower preparation before trimming can have a major effect on Satellite performance and the amount of hand touch-up required afterward.
For the complete process, see the EZ Trim Harvest Playbook.
3. Why use an integrated harvesting system instead of individual machines?
Improving one processing step doesn't necessarily eliminate the overall harvest bottleneck. Increasing trimming speed, for example, has limited value if bucking cannot supply flower fast enough or if sorting and quality control become the next labor bottleneck.
The Trifecta is designed around the complete workflow. Bucking prepares flower for trimming, trimming prepares it for sorting, and sorting separates the finished flower before final quality control, curing, or packaging.
The objective is to improve total harvest efficiency, not simply the speed of one machine.
4. Can the Trifecta be used for both wet and dry cannabis processing?
Yes. The Trifecta can support both wet and dry processing workflows.
The Bud Bucker and Satellite can process wet or dry material, while the Bud Sorter can be incorporated at the appropriate point based on the operation's workflow and desired flower classifications.
For dry trimming, achieving consistent dryness before the Satellite is particularly important. Uneven moisture between small and large buds can produce inconsistent trimming results and increase hand touch-up.
5. How can the Trifecta reduce harvest labor?
The Trifecta targets several labor-intensive steps instead of addressing trimming alone: bucking, trimming, sorting, and the amount of hand touch-up required afterward.
EZ Trim customers have reported significant labor and processing improvements in their own operations. Super Farm reports cutting harvest time and labor approximately in half, while King City Gardens reports saving about 100 trimming labor hours per week. Monte Fiore reports that its integrated EZ Trim workflow reduced a labor-intensive harvesting process to roughly one-quarter of its previous time.
These are individual customer-reported results and are not guarantees of results for other operations.
6. Does faster processing mean sacrificing flower quality?
It shouldn't. The objective of the Trifecta system is to reduce unnecessary labor and handling while maintaining finished-flower quality.
Flower condition and preparation remain important. Dryness consistency, stem preparation, strain characteristics, Satellite settings, batch time, and the amount of touch-up performed afterward can all influence the finished product.
EZ Trim customers including Super Farm and King City Gardens report achieving a natural or hand-trim-like appearance while reducing processing labor.
7. What size cannabis operation is the Trifecta designed for?
The Trifecta is intended for commercial operations where bucking, trimming, sorting, or quality control are creating meaningful harvest bottlenecks.
The best way to determine whether the complete system makes economic sense is to evaluate your own harvest volume, current staffing, labor cost, processing time, and existing cost per pound rather than relying on a single production threshold.
Use the EZ Trim Harvest Calculator to compare the potential economics with your current process.
8. Can I purchase the Bud Bucker, Satellite, and Bud Sorter separately?
Yes. The Bud Bucker, Satellite Bud Trimmer, and Bud Sorter are available individually, allowing an operation to address a specific bottleneck first or build its harvesting system over time.
The Trifecta combines all three for operations that want to address bucking, trimming, and sorting as an integrated workflow.
