<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Arial">My guess is that
today's normal cultivation on Jackass Hill now employs different
equipment than a restored 420 JD crawler pulling an old offset
disk. But for a professionally produced video documentary, it's
cool to see the old stuff brought back in action as it was two
generations ago. <br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><font face="Arial">I talked with my friend again about the Antonio Carraros. They purchased two. $140K so whoever it was that guessed 150 wasn't that far off. For use in the hilliest of their vineyards near Calistoga, CA. Apparently barely passable if wet. The one thing she did say after driving one is that it's pretty cramped. Tough for a fat old guy like me. Guess they wouldn't go for a couple of 40C or the like.
