Modified Narrow Tractors for Hall Hunter Partnership

Over the past few months our skilled technicians have been hard at work modifying 4 different Antonio Carraro tractor cabs; 3 for Hall Hunter and 1 for a fruit farm in Ireland! The farms desperately needed a tractor narrow enough to fit down the tight strawberry tunnel rows without damaging their crop- our technicians came up with a solution to reduce the cab size by just 20mm which allowed the tractors to have plenty of space when going up and down the rows. Andrew Spate, Machinery Manager at Hall Hunter Tuesley Farm, is delighted with the bespoke machines:

“I am very pleased with the Antonio Carraro TN 5800 tractor. It’s very manoeuvrable on tight headlands and the cab is surprisingly spacious even for over 6ft tall drivers with plenty of leg room. The electro hydraulics are positive in operation and ease of use and most importantly, we do not touch the plants with the cab, considerably reducing damage especially to the flowers in our blueberry fields. The tractor will also be used to spray 6 line high table top Strawberries in the harvest. All in all, Kirkland have gone the extra mile designing this tractor and I am very thankful.”
