[AT] This actually tractor related

[Best, George]

I doubt that any wineries still stomp their grapes.  Would think they all use presses of some sort.

I know a guy who's family has a large apple orchard and has made cider (regular and hard) for the past hundred years.  Their cider press is a huge commercial thing made in the early 1900's and powered by flat belt off an early sideshaft engine.  Could just as easily have been a flat belt off a tractor.

So I would think a Cletrac with flat belt pulley could press grapes if needed.  Although the wine label only says it was harvested using Cletrac equipment and nothing was said about the wine making process.
