I would like to show you a few pictures and a video so you can see something about grape harvest tasks. In my area there are few vineyards, therefore these tasks are almost missing. I can remember when I was a child and my parents harvested grapes manually... nowadays people continue harvesting grapes manually if the vineyard is not prepared for harvesting grapes with the automatic system. Harvesting grapes is very common in September, especially in my area (in other Spanish areas and with other varieties of grape the harvesting can be doing in August). As I told you in previous posts, we don't have vineyards and I am not a expert about that.
We were with our cousin Enrique Lopez who was harvesting grapes in the farm where he works because we wanted to see how grape harvest machinery worked. We have never seen working this machinery before. I think The Pellenc 3050 gets grapes very clean and any grapes are lost. I have to tell pulled grape harvesters work slower than propelled harvesting machines and as you can see in our video, the working speed is not very high. Thank to no mechanical transmission, the machinery can turn 90º to the left and right. So they can work in every heads without problems.
You can watch a video from our YouTube channel.
You can see our pictures from Picasa.
