A very neat video, I echo what Mark stated, I never new there was a Grape Harvester either. Is it wheel driven, PTO or what?

If you poke around the cnh site you will find they also make sugarcane harvestors an also the grape harvesters. Might have seen that under New Holland, Just Google in New Holland grape harvesters an that will work also.

I never seen a grape harvestor before, pretty neat. What model Case are you using?

 

[Grapefarmer]

Its a DC4 Case. The harvester is powered hydraulics with a large pump hooked to the pto. I had to put the larger popup pistons and sleeves to get the hp up around 50. I still need more weight on the front, I have 500 pounds of tractor weights to try next year and will remove the 55 gallon barrel of water

Man that thing is sure going to put a lot of farm worked on the sideline watching in.
Neat picker.
I made tree shakers in the late 60s they also put a lot of people out of work.
