Robert in NY Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Does anyone know of some good sites with pics of the various tractors, harvesters and equipment used in European vineyards? Thanks. Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I've got the odd pic or two somewhere Robert... I'll dig them out for you.. Quote
Tractorman810 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Think i have some from our trips to italy,went to a vineyard for a day, will look tommorrow for u Quote
Tractorman810 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 found this one on the pc this morning, think we have others on the disc we keep pics on, but cant find that at the min taken out italy, arround tuscany somewhere, cant remember the name of the area exactly at the miniute either sorry , Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Bit of a let down really Robert... sorry... I have found a couple of my apple growers kit.. \ Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 This is a "late built" French MF135 vineyard machine Quote
Robert in NY Posted January 13, 2008 Author 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
Lord Ferguson Posted January 13, 2008 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

Lord Ferguson Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Yes, the Berthoud sprayer is hooked up behind the John Deere. That belongs to a pear grower I use... I'll ask him for you Quote

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. Quote
