After a long wait, grape harvest has went into full speed in Western New York. The colder then usual weather this year wouldn't let the grapes ripen on time so the last couple days the farms have finally started harvesting the concords. This is a picture of my neighbors grapes being picked. The picker is a on demo from Larry Romance and Sons and is a Braud/New Holland SB65. The farmer using it is considering buying it to replace the Chysolm Ryder they currently own and the $130k price tag doesn't seem to bother them just if they can trade their Chysom in on it is the only hang up. Anyway, the tractor is a Same Frutteto 75. There is also a New Holland TN 75F parked next to me waiting as I took this picture. This is a small farm and belongs to the harvesters drivers dad. Only 4 acres of grapes here.
