How to choose an orchard tractor for dense planting rows
Row spacing, overall width and implement clearance decide more orchard deals than brochure horsepower alone.
Dealers serving orchards and vineyards often lose tenders because the tractor is simply too wide for the canopy. Before quoting, measure typical row spacing and the clearance under drip lines or trellis wires.
For dense planting, prioritize overall width, turning radius and a protected operator station. The LH-N and compact LH-EX ranges are designed around these constraints while keeping 4WD traction for wet seasons.
Match PTO speed and hitch category to the sprayers and flail mowers your customers already own. A 45–60 HP class usually covers inter-row spraying and light tillage without oversizing tire pressure on soft soils.
Ask factories for export crate drawings early. Narrow units pack more units per container, which improves landed cost for Middle East and Southeast Asia dealers.
