Antonio Carraro tractors - Ins/Outs... who has one and would you get it again?

[Mike Madison]

There is a AC offered today (June 28) on craigslist in Modesto, CA. Has a thrown rod--needs an engine. Open to offers.

Looks to me like that's got more trouble than just a thrown rod....

Heres a beater in Seattle...

Antonio Carraro Tractor - farm & garden - by owner - sale

There seems to be one or two for sale every couple of months. Big orchards up here so good place to look. I know there is a dealer in the Portland area and I think there is one in Wenachee.

Hamilton (new zealand) City Council had 2 for parks mowing duties. Mowers were bat wing and from memory about 12' in size.
They did a good job on parks work, including the slopes along gullies and river banks.
They did 40 km/hr so as most speed limits were 50km this was not a problem.
There was only 1 disadvantage and that was their low height when on the road. They were easily hidden by suv's and vans.

Looks terrific and like it will handle anything you throw at it with ease. Nice work! Did you add the LED lighting across the top/rear of the cab?

I did, worked out great, plenty of light for blowing at nite. AC supplies a European 12plug port up on the cab for a rotating beacon light that has a power switch in the cab. Found the plug on amazon and it plugged right in. Didn't even have to drill any holes just used the 2 in the license plate bracket.
