Vineyard Dream Equipment

Our mini-trip to Long Island was jammed packed with activity. We also got a chance to visit Northeast Equipment LTD. My husband was in boy-toy heaven because we stopped there in time to see the latest Antonio Carraro orchard tractor. I know nothing about these things but was also attracted to it's sleak lines and shiny black exterior. I learned that the tractor had 100 hp, puts 8 pounds per square inch of pressure on the ground (that is very little pressure), therefore does not lead to soil compaction like other tractors can. The seat can swivel both ways so you can easily use implements in the "back" as well as the "front" of the tractor. I also learned that it cost $85,000.00! Oh boy, boy-toy!
