12/15/2021
In California’s rich agricultural landscape, from vineyards to orchards, our fertile soil makes this land an ideal location for growing a wide variety of crops. To ensure a successful harvest, you need the best tools on the market. Here, we will walk you through the best equipment–John Deere and beyond–for California’s specialty crops.
Selecting the right tractor is fundamental to vineyard operations. Compact tractors with low profiles are ideal for navigating between crop rows without causing damage. John Deere offers a range of compact tractors equipped with narrow tires and adjustable track widths to meet the specific needs of vineyard owners.
We’re committed to providing our customers with the best possible tools for their work. That’s why we don’t stop at John Deere equipment. We’re happy to provide and highlight California-based Exact Harvesting Systems, with durable, highly productive equipment specially designed for nut harvesting. Contact your local Belkorp Ag to learn more about Exact equipment, including sweepers, harvesters, conditioners, shakers and more!
In the interest of providing the highest-quality equipment for our customers, we invest in specialized products to target your specific needs. Grape harvesting is a significant part of California’s unique agricultural landscape, which is why we offer OXBO Grape Harvesters, dedicated to efficiently harvesting high-quality fruit. With OXBO’s Advanced Vintage Technology (AVT) integrated into every model, we ensure that your crop will maintain its integrity, and so will your wine.
So, you’ve got your low-profile tractor, and you’re wondering how to better put it to use. John Deere’s simple, hands-free implements can offer considerable help around the orchard or vineyard. Consider implements such as a Flail Mower to keep property well-maintained. Spray your orchard floor with an Herbicide Sprayer, or the canopy with an Air Blast Sprayer. Contact one of our experts to learn more about which implements will be best for you.
