[ WHAT'S NEVAT
PRUNING TRACTOR
Lemco produces machines
in four sizes for a wide
variety of vineyard and
orchard pruning tasks. The
largest model tractor will
span up to 120 feet with
overhead booms fully ex
tended, covering up to 14
rows depending upon
vineyard planting con
figuration. A speed range of
from three to 80 feet per
minute, forward and
reverse, delivers com
pressed air for operating
Limb Lopper shears and
primers at precisely the
working pace demanded by
terrain and type of crop.
Units supply pneumatic
power to four, six, eight or
ten field workers at the same
time.
Lemco tractors are most
frequently used with
overhead booms for grape
and berry pruning.
However, with booms
removed and with hand
shears and primers mounted
on Lamb Lopper extension
poles the machine increases
efficiency in pruning citrus,

nuts and deciduous fruits. It
also is used for stapling vine
support wire to grape stakes
employing pneumatic staple
guns and is an excellent
portable auxiliary air
compressor around the farm
for spray painting, inflating
tires and similar small jobs.
Lemco pioneered use of
Nycoil plastic hoses for
connecting Limb Lopper
shears to air lines descen
ding from tractor booms.
Filters and one-shot oilers in
the air lines to the Limb
Lopper shears assure long,
troublefree cutting tool life,
claims the manufacturer.
Tricycle wheel con
figuration on the machine
aids operating crew in
keeping it on course with
minimum steering. Forward
wheel travels in a furrow
which is plowed every 14 or
fewer rows depending on
vine spacing. Steering may
be locked in straight-ahead
position giving up to a mile
of row travel in a large
vineyard with no course
correction required.
Weighted wheels and water
filled tires provide m°chme
stability.
transmission and belt-driven
regulator control the tractor
over steep, hilly terrain as
easily as in level vineyards
and orchards.
Engine rpm’s are constant
regardless of speed needed
for various terrains and
crops. No separate com
pressed air reserve tank or
after cooler is required on
the Lemco tractor. In
novative machine design
employs the hollow, tubular
struts which form the
chassis and vertical boom
supports to hold air at 160
psi, eliminating the cost and
weight of a separate tank.
Machines feature 12-volt
starter, ample gasoline tank,
drinking water and box for
spare shears and hand tools.
