Matthew Collins East Gippsland farmer Matthew Collins has bought an unusual tractor for the hilly terrain on his farm. He has 260ha at Reedy Flat. Runs beef cattle and is planting hazelnut and chestnut groves. He went along to the Antonio Carraro dealer at Bairnsdale, Elders, and ordered the Antonio Carraro TTR9800 sight unseen, having read the specifications and watched YouTube videos of this unusual machine. He has the TTR9800 open cab model. “It is pretty hilly out here. The TTR9800 has good stability on the hills.” This was not in stock anywhere in Australia, so it was shipped direct from Italy. He took delivery of the tractor in February. Address 47 Breakfast Creek Road, Reedy Flat. Phone (03)5157 3389 and 0457 788 019
