TK75VA Crawler

Anyone have experience with this machine? It is one option I am considering to maintain a 15 vineyard. Spraying, mowing and discing are the main chores. About 15% of the vineyard is moderately to significantly sloped.

I've looked at these a couple of years ago when there was only model. The 75. It appears to be based on the TN75 sharing the same motor and much of the body components. I would assume it is reliable since the TN is.

I would also expect it's stability to be excellent.

I have never used one, but would love to. I did price one once but other than expensive I forgot how much.

I am going to get to demo the thing this weekend, along with a disc. I am anxious to see how much more stable it feels on my slopes than my TC45DA (with filled tires).

Almost any crawler will feel more stable on a hill then a compact tractor. The TK is not as popular as the TN because it has such a limited market but it is popular in the vineyards that have hills. SAME also has a crawler tractor but I do not know much about theirs.

I do know the TN-F is very stable compared to the compacts. It has a lot of weight down low and might be something else for you to consider trying. The TN-V makes me nervous on any size slope. That tractor is way too narrow for working on anything other then flat ground. You get nervous just going thru a rut as the tractor leans so bad. But it is super narrow
