The sales brochure states: Streamlined? And how! Not a "fruit picker" in a trainload. Low-hanging branches glide over and around them like water on a duck's back. The most striking feature of these tractors is their sleek streamlined exterior. Unlike most tractors, these Orchard and Grove models have no projections and no crevices to catch branches and tear fruit off when run close to trees. |
