Robert in NY Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks Marky Orchard equipment over here finds double duty in our commercial vineyards which is why the New Holland TN-F (fruit tractors) sell so well here. The TN-V (vineyard) is used in some of the double curtain vineyards but not too many of the growers run double curtains anymore. Those Masseys sure look different all shrunk up like they are. I am still surprised that John Deere doesn't sell that tractor over here. They have a N series but no F. The F and N look similar but the tires are larger on the N series. I do have a Berthoud sprayer but my pump blew up. Do you happen to know anyone that has a Gamma 3 piston pump for the Berthoud sprayers? Maybe someone whos sprayer is worn out but pump is still good. To buy a new pump here was going to cost me around $2k last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 No probs Robert.... I'll ask about for you ref: the pump.... am I right in assuming it's the one of the back of the JD then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is basically the same rig then you don't have to unless you want to. I know there is an amazing difference in vineyard equipment between the east coast and west coast over here in the US. That is what made me wonder just what type of equipment you guys have over there. Here are some pics I have of my friends Korvan harvester.
