Straddle tractor
Vineyard straddle tractors are specially designed to work in vineyards by raising the machine above the rows of vines. Thanks to their high, narrow structure, they can carry out plant protection treatments, pruning and harvesting without damaging the plants.
Equipped with powerful engines and advanced transmission systems, these tractors provide great stability and optimum traction on varied terrain. Their ability to carry equipment over several rows simultaneously increases efficiency and reduces working time.
Finally, automatic guidance and integrated tool management technologies improve the precision and productivity of vineyard operations.

The qualities required of this type of agricultural tractor depend on the work to be carried out.
Requirements for agricultural tractors

Tool carrier
The straddle tractor tractor is fitted with different tool carriers depending on its configuration (tillage, forwarder, etc.). There are generally tool carriers between the wheels as well as tool carriers positioned behind the rear wheels (track eradicator).There are two main types of between-wheel tool carrier available on the market:
- Push-fit, consisting of a pole to which the tools are attached by means of a cross clamp. Depending on the working width, the pole can be fitted with a sliding frame to adapt the working width to the rows of vines. A guide is positioned on the front of the pole, keeping the entire tool holder in line with the row and limiting lateral mechanical stress.
- When pulled, it consists of a deformable parallelogram with a square at the bottom. The advantage of this type of tool-holder is that it facilitates the work of mechanical weeding tools. On the other hand, it reduces the space available between the front and rear wheels.
