Orchard tractors are a special kind of tractor. As the name suggests, they’re designed for use exclusively in orchards. They’re tall, narrow, and uncovered, allowing the driver to navigate through the rows of trees in an orchard and even pick fruit while seated in the tractor. Their tires are also specially equipped for orchards, with more durable treads to prevent puncture from thorns or other fruit and flower related debris.
In addition to their special design for orchard applications, they still share the same basic function as other tractors, with the ability to push and pull, as well as the functions of farm tractors, like plowing and sowing.
