I thought i would share this, my wife, daughter and I picked these today. I have never pulled more than two at a time but tomorrow I intend to pull all three to the packing house about 1.5 mile on a sealed road. All up I would estimate about 5 ton of oranges. (see attachment)

Who's the funny looking guy in the kewl hat?

I imagine towing them won't be too bad. But parallel parking such a rig could take some time and probably at least one mother in law for directions, maybe two.

So 3 of you picked them; one trailer load each? I'd think there'd sure be some sore muscles after that./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

The price to us varies greatly any where from $175 a ton to $1000 , depends on time of year and the variety. At the moment we are picking valencias for the juice market and get $200 a ton to $250ton. (Thats aussie $)
