Welcome to Italy. I have the Antonio Carraro 7700 Ergit Series tractor under the scope.
This replica is a perfect likeness of the original Carraro tractors. The Ergit series is designed for mountain vineyards and orchard work. I set it up as if it could work in my father’s Concord Grape Vineyard so you can see this replica has the floating tires. It also comes with orchard tires which are taller and narrower. I took the cab off for better visibility around the vineyard.
This replica reflects the 4 wheel drive system. Its excellent weight/power ratio and very short turning radius provides for a very good grip and constant traction.
The details on this replica are good. The operator station has three gear shifts which reflect the 32 gears that come with this series. An over size roll bar, designed for mountains vineyards, is very authentic Notice, the vertical muffler which is positioned out of the way which is very practical when doing vineyard or orchard work. The hitch is well designed.
This replica is 1/18 scale and made of die cast metal and plastic. It is made by an Italian company named Ros. I bought this replica at a dealer in Yakima Washington where the actual tractors are sold to the vineyard/orchard farmers.
Strength: Unique and very authentic
Needs: 1/16 scale
