My dad was an expert orchardman, raising several varieties of apples which were his biggest fruit crop. He also raised a lot of peaches and pears. There were smaller crops of plums, apricots and dark sweet cherries. Orchards are very labor intensive, every spring meant pruning his trees.
He always owned Allis Chalmers tractors (orange ones) and this tractor (I don't recall model or year) was hia pruning tractor. The front tires were close together, he attached his pneumatic pruner equipment and built a fold-down platform on the side to stand on while he was pruning. In this pic you can see the platform folded up. Served the purpose very well!
