With many farmers diversifying into groundcare, fencing, forestry,
etc., these rugged European built tractors are the most versatile on the market with their all terrain ability, low centre of gravity
and outstanding permanent 4 wheel drive traction which enables them to operate anywhere from an orchard to a 55 degree
forest track.
The smaller machines are quickly replacing the quad bikes, as they will cover the same terrain
yet with PTO & 3 point linkage can be used with standard agricultural machinery such as yard scraper or bale spike or can
distribute fertilisers, especially with their weight of aprox. 1 ton giving a very low ground pressure.
As these tractors originated in the fruit growing areas of the Alps they are ideally suited to orchard work. With fold down roll
bars they can compact to height of 1.1 mtrs by 1 mtr wide depending on tyres. They are fully EEC approved for safety in the
orchard without modification.

A full range of orchard flail mowers and sprayery is also available. There is also the big advantage of low running costs of
approx.40p per hour red diesel for the AGT 35hp Alpine tractor as compared to up to £3 per hour petrol for a big quad bike.
The Alpine tractors are fully road legal and are insurable as a standard agri tractor. The NFU are presently charging a 50%
loading and £500 excess on quads. Trust the canny Scots to save money!
The range of AGT tractors include articulated and front steer 4WD and are fitted 35hp with water cooled Lombardini diesel
engines with prices from £7900 + vat. There is also a hydrostatic front or reverse drive machine ideal for horticulture or ground
care applications.

There is also the Pasqualli ERGO. EOS range from 50 to 83 hp articulated, front steer or bi-directional. With a total 26
different combinations we should be able to tailor a tractor for your needs.
Attachments include front/rear loaders, forestry trailers/grabs, winches flails cultivators, plough, hedgecutters,
orchard/agri sprayers saw benches log splitters, chippers etc.
We supply a wide range or 2 wheel tractors from 3.5hp petrol to 12hp diesel electric start & a range of 60 attachments from
sickle bars rotavators to ride on tipping trailers. Again a truly versatile machine for the landscape gardener or smallholder.
