Antonio Carraro with a hoe/blade.

[Tunin]

I finally adopted my Antonio Carraro to the Clemens under-stock hoe blade (or the other way around ). I only bought the red part, used for 350 euros. The lift and everything else is what I mocked up. The ready and done from Clemens is crazy expensive, what I built for a 100 euros of materials, would have cost me 3500 used from Clemens Original.

Added a generic solenoid valve to divert the fluid if needed if the antenna sensor does/can not do in for whatever reason…

Once I get it going, will make some videos using it, in the meantime, here are some videos I did before, when I adopted it to my Kubota B2410 years back.

At first it did not seam to be doing much but one comes after A day, the weed is all dried up and the soil is quit crumbly and soft.

Great job! It's doing a very nice job.

Nice tractor as well!

Nice but I wish I understood it's operation. Is there only 1 "disc" that engages the soil? It looks like it's very adjustable.
Thanks for posting

Thank you. Yeah, model SRH9800, hydrostatic. Very versatle, narrow, as narrow is neaded for our old Mediterranean patches of vineyards and olive orchards, very nimble ( I hope that is the Eng. word)

The disc only cuts a grove for the blade leg to go through, the blade with the tails does the job, it cuts underneath, depth adjustable, the tails move the soil and weed. It comes quite close to the trees, the soil gets worked quite well.
Let me try and find a photo from a few years ago, what it looks like a day later…

I totally agree. I have a couple orchards and could use a lower and narrow tractor. Ended up getting just a narrow tractor which is a bit too tall but I still make it work.

I almost ended up with a smaller Tigre 3800 but unfortunately the dealer wasn't too interested on even walk to the yard to show the machine. It would fit my orchard needs very well.

I could not find a photo of a day later but this is what it looks like right after I go through if the middle section is not pre-tilled.

When I got mine a friend got a SRX8400 no cab version, very low otherwise similar capabilities. Here are some photo them both together and one of mine for last years harvest.

I started a thread about a dealer in the US! east coast, that deserved a credit.

I must have missed that thread.

That's a beautiful place, vineyards and tractors you have there!

I just realized you are in Portugal, sorry, thought you were in the US. Honestly, I had trouble with European, especially Italian dealers, very unresponsive and lethargic. That is m

I've heard people complaining a little bit on Italian dealers as well. They don't seem to be very helpful unless you're Italian and bought something from them. It's always nice to hear about good experiences as well, considering that mostly the bad experiences are shared on forums and such.

Thank you sir. It's been working absolutely great. I could do with a bit more side shift range but I'm already pushing the PTO shaft angles a bit too much.
