ABSTRACT:
A tractor for over the row in line towing of a trailer along a row of plants, wherein either the trailer or the tractor itself has the capability of carrying mechanisms for performing certain operations on a row crop. Such mechanisms include crop harvesters, plant pruners, plant sprayers or device for tilling the ground adjacent the plant rows. Use of these mechanisms in sloping fields is specifically envisioned. A portion of the tractor is designed to carry these mechanisms and is maintained in a level configuration in fields of row crops without substantial elevation of the tractor center of gravity. The main elements of the tractor are kept near ground level for easy access in all types of row crop terrain, sloping or otherwise, so that fueling and maintenance tasks may be readily performed and ground access to an operator's station is always available.
