Need low profile 30+ hp 25pto minimum

markanth · May 21, 2007

I want to plant some fairly high density grape vines as I have 5 acres only. I want to utilize as much of the land as possible. So I need a brand new tractor that can do a heck of a lot but not to exceel around 50" in total width in the range of 30 to 35 hp with at least 25 pto for air blast sprayer and for other multiple uses etc. I need it small enough so I can utilzie it between these vines. The new holland new t1520 (the 30 replacment) will measure out to 62" with r4s. The T26 from New Holland (around 48 inches in width) will only produce 19 pto. The Kubota B7800 will be around 56. I was hoping for no more than 48" to 50 width. What is in the horizon. Anything coming soon in either Kubota or New Holland-both local dealers. I understand that the Kubota 7800 will be replaced with some more hp in the not too distant future. Any info?
Thanks, Mark

you might look at www.acamerica.com - they specialize in orchard and vineyard tractors, different, but narrow.

That's a tough one. I doubt you will find many tractors under 50" wide with 25 or more rear pto hp. The Kioti CK30 has 30hp engine and 23hp rear pto with a width of about 54.6". If you need more PTO hp, the CK35 has 35 hp engine and 27.6hp rear PTO at 54.6" wide.

Even the Kubota B3030 with 30hp engine and 23hp rear PTO is 53.8" wide.

All of the majors have vineyard tractors that are low and narrow, but they have a lot more hp than 35. They are in the 60 to 95 hp range. What you might do is purchase the tractor you want and then have smaller diameter wheels made for it with a tight off-set.

Edit: There is one that has 35 hp. It is an Antonio Carraro TTR.

Kubota has a narrow line of tractors in the M Series but they are 50+ HP. They are around 40"-46" wide.

any word on that new kubota b7800 replacement? at 53 inches this might work very well? The other unit I like is the new new holland 1520 with 35 gross and 29 pto but the width. What can I do about the width.

The l3400 is listed as 51.4'" and has 34 hp.

And there is a the TYM T273 at 49" wide and only 95" long with 27 hp.

Kubota used to make a B series that was really narrow. They had a N suffix on the model designation if I remember correctly. I don't know if it's still in the line or not, but you might check their website. Your dealer may have never heard of it but might be able to get one for you.

Of course you could always go big and get one of the high frame tractors they use around here to spray row crops. You could put a wheel in each of 2 rows and the body of the tractor would ride over top of the grapes in the middle.

dateacha is taking about the B7510. It is only 42" wide, however it only goes about 18hp PTO. I just looked on the Kubota website, and as mentioned before, they have an M5700 that is only 43" wide. More HP than you were looking for though. JD also makes a narrow tractor, however it also has more HP than you are looking for. If you need to HP to run the sprayer, have you thought about running the sprayer off a separate gas engine? This way you may be able to get a smaller tractor for less money and still be able to run the sprayer.
