Great Info vid. A lot of changes to grape harvesters since I worked with them in the 60's & 70's but the basic idea is about the same. Years ago an inspector (person) rode on the tote trailer to remove missed leaves, birds nest, snakes & mice etc. that made it through the harvester. It's like any produce, if people realized the amount of bugs & other life forms that went into their food they probably would eat more beef...lol 😎

[@emerkamp1]

I don't drink much milk for this reason. changed too many filters

[@larrydartel1610]

Very educational,, do u hsve to change your category to people blog educational ?? Also at your 15 :00 ( rug rat climbing), i though of Rob Welk, video comment 43;00 potato harvester grandkid application 😂😂,, mental heath monday -why and what for "parents are not monitoring kids" thanks

[@colmortimer1066]

I think they should bring one of the harvesters in when your ready for harvest so we can see it in action. :)

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

I agree!!

[@iNexTTx]

I never minded New Holland Grape Harvesters, where I’m from and I work is on a vineyard in the Riverina in Australia they often are portrayed negative and the Gregoire Harvester Superior but I think it just comes to the operator, love you’re videos!

[@farminginthesouth592]

Agreeeed!!!!!

[@dogboy441]

Ya dead right Dan...

[@robertpowell2746]

Tara I take my hat off to you girl, you're learning a ton of stuff about harvesting and grape Harvesters, very educational so glad you shared this with us.

[@446ramm]

Thanks for the walk-through of the equipment!! Definitely like to see the grape harvester in action?

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Yes! This year will be my first grape harvester and I'll definitely be doing some videos on it.

[@davidfuss6600]

Modern Grape Harvesting, New Holland North America, on You tube

[@AlmondCheggs]

Wow learned something new. That's possibly the most useful machine I've seen in a long time

[@patrickmarks3272]

Tare,what a great video. I learned a lot . This gentleman knew his machines. I am very impressed with just how many different things these machines can do Cutting labor cost and delivering only useable Berries to the winery. Have great day

[@dogboy441]

Hi Tara...I have a 9090x grand export and currently harvesting in Australia..If I get time I send you a vid of harvesting Oz style...some places here we can do 50 ton per hour....just 1 observation I see,Im pretty sure your T trellis type is not suited to the Braud harvester..I was suprised when I see a new vineyard with this method...I understand it may grow a better quality but sure makes harvesting and pruning difficult for a machine...just ask your local grape harvesting contractor...the salesman wont tell you this haha...good luck

[@MrRoadie6]

He forgot to mention the 2 most important things. How many cup holders and is there a convienent place to store snacks in the cab. Need to have priorities. ;) :D

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

We did check out the cab and there is no room for my dog which was at the top of my list 😅

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Beaver Vineyards but you have smaller dogs 🐕 that can fit ❤️

[@bobspencer6576]

Does Gallo take grapes with stems or only without stems and is there a big price difference with or without stems? I probably missed it but does the harvester go thru the fields once or does it come back in a week or two and do it again?

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

They will take them with stems. It depends on the field and if the grapes are ripe. For me it’ll probably come and stay until it’s finished with the job.

[@sarah_farm]

I hope you will continue to show us your traditional cooking. It’s better than watching all those world famous chefs . Also your traditional attire and lifestyle are so wholesome , healthy and peaceful. It’s very soothing watching your videos . And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

[@papabearcamaro]

Very interesting! Great video girl. 👍

[@Sinister_Reaper]

I remember welding and fabricating these grape harvesters and blueberry harvesters for a company in washington, id make $900 for the 2 weeks each one took to fabricate and the company made a million, id build $100k water tank and pump trailers, one each day. Id make $90 while the company made $100k, id build 4 of the $15k bin trailers for apples in a day, the company made $60k and i made $90, agriculture is full of greedy owners and under paid workers, guys like this who sell the equipment get paid more to point out the shit that the guys like me manufacture.

[@FarmerP]

This guy needs a raise. I don’t have a grape on the farm but I still want one. 🍇😄

[@matthewdowd4686]

Hello farmer p!! Fancy seeing you here! Great channel eh!

[@FarmerP]

Matthew dowd I’ve been following Tara for a while now, she has something a bit different to offer than the majority. 🙂

[@matthewdowd4686]

Farmer P that’s what I like about. It’s just new to me and refreshing. And I live about 100 miles or so from where she is, so it’s great to see farming/ranching done around me. I live in the California Central Valley we have a lot of dairy’s and rice feilds around where I am. And you’ve got a great channel too! One of my favs!

[@FarmerP]

Matthew dowd Thank you Matthew. 🙂👍

[@cbboggs6459]

Awesome. What a great piece of engineering. Tara, ask for a demo at harvest. Lol. Great video 👌.

[@bronco797]

Good job girl ! Interesting.

[@IIIRorschachIII]

Ole dude willing to get in the harvester head to sell his machine. LoL. But I'm impressed on the transformation of the 3 in one, Harvester, sprayer, tractor.

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

You will make a horrible mom because you will be to frightened to let your kids have fun. :) How much do they cost?

[@jeffbanks9955]

Massive time savings advantages but i cant help but think there will be more damage to the fruit using this machine, given its harvesting method, as opposed to hand picking. I'd like to see the stats on fruit damages.

[@marlinguidegun1657]

That was cool, I always wondered how they worked. I want one. I would take me exactly 45 seconds to pick my grapes, and I could offset the cost by selling my hand crank destemmer, so I would only have to finance $449,700.

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

🤣🤣 love that. But yes Mike did such a great job at explaining it all!

[@equinefreedomhomesteady]

Thank you for posting your video. We have 3,000 acres of orange tree and 80acres of blue berries brush that is so interesting to see it could pull the orange off the trees

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

I thought that was really interesting as well!

[@EmanuelGraf]

Thank you for this great video. Can't wait to see one of these in your vineyard.

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Very interesting!

[@m1t2a1]

After I watched your harvest videos, I was disappointed that the harvesters weren't blue.

[@equinefreedomhomesteady]

WoW that is a wonderful system. I love that the re-compostie.

[@danielcebotari9196]

Take a look to the optimum carrier from pellenc, it's way easier and comfortable to use it

[@Gwalker0220]

Hand picking I would think would be better. Yes, very labor intensive, however every grape gets picked. Your providing jobs! I think it would be cheeper in many ways. Plus less damage to the vines...But I've never been on a grape farm, never picked a grape, ate a few, but that's about it... Another words I'm a dumb ass so you should take everything I've said for entertainment purposes only....

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Thank you for the side note 🤣 Many grapes are hand picked as well. It’s based on how you grow them and where they’re going really.

[@tonyburelle6633]

That was fascinating

[@markdoherty3718]

I need a raspberry picker, great video

[@joelmollenkopf3767]

Excellent

[@davidpoynter6546]

Tara, if was rich I would buy one of those for you, so you would have less pain in your life, working that vineyard is some God hard work. I believe in you and your mission. God Bless

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Thank you so much for your support

[@chuckhenry5487]

What is the custom rate per acre?

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

To be honest I’m not sure. This year will be my first harvest.

[@robertmatthews2776]

Great video,GOD BLESS

[@stevenharris1464]

You should ask if you can get trained on one for your harvest this year

[@wijo6234]

Driving this exact machine in farming simulator rn

[@wayneb2490]

This was fascinating I really enjoyed it

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Thank you so much!! In a few months we’ll see one in action!

[@leew582]

Great video

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Thank you 😊

[@gungadinn]

Tara, what do you estimate the cost per acre for picking grapes by hand? How many man hours are required to harvest an acre of grapes verses what the New Holland harvester can do? I you were miss moneybags, you could purchase a harvester for your vineyard, harvest your grapes, then provide harvesting services for other vineyards in your area. I'm sure that the other vineyards grapes (depending on species of grape) don't ripen at the same time. Just think, no paperwork of an agricultural visas, no workman's comp insurance, and no porta-potties in the field.

[@michaelwamsley466]

I was wondering how they harvested grapes. Now I want to see one run

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

I’ll definitely have video when we harvest grapes this year 🙌

[@matthewdowd4686]

Great vid Tara very informative and interesting!

[@shawnward8830]

I’ve watched this video just like 10 times just to hear your laugh @ 1:11

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

😅🙈🤣🤣

[@robhakeman5873]

Tara this might sound stupid but are all vines a certain distance like corn and beans on 30 inch. Rows ?

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Yes, but you chose the distance when you plant

[@RandyKildow]

Excellent video Tara... Side note: " There are some things at #WAE2020 that you don't get to see in Montana " Leg_arms

[@lawrencetoddverrnier302]

i can't believe he said hand j**!!!

[@roberthiggins6401]

Thanks for showing us the Harvester Tara. I've seen videos of them working but you've shown us exactly how they work. How many acres of vines do you have at the moment? Are you going to plant more? Are you thinking of planting anything else. I just hope you can get the Harvester in at the right time. Thanks again from England.

[@hfff1]

This is all very interesting but I need a Beaver's Vineyard vineyard fix. Pruning, spraying, Tara, "Oh MY".

[@billconch3514]

A fantastic labor-saving technology for the grape harvesters! I would really like to see this harvester in operation. Thanks for your question and sharing, Tara.

[@perryschultz2468]

Great Video! Interesting to see how different equipment work for different products to harvest! Thanks for sharing!

[@oulianadjaman1537]

Two thumbs up!!!!

[@sodbuster518able]

Tara i got to checkout the same clauss that you and Meridith got to sit in together at the machine show in Louisville KY. Check out Wtfarm Girl she did a great job on video on the show.looks like you had way more equipment at your show than the 1 I went to.

[@jimmywarner1105]

Yes demo one in your vineyard tera that would be awesome for new Holland/ case to hook ya up

[@js2743]

awesome video

[@MrDaChicken]

Really interesting seeing the evolution of this tech. I live in the Niagara Region, close to Niagara Falls, and there are, and have been a LOT of grapes grown here. Easy to see how this evolution of the harvesters is a huge improvement.

[@sodbuster518able]

Tara you should have that display flag that says Harvest with picture of grapes on it.That would look good on your farm lol.

[@TheStuport]

Absolutely dig Mike of Coastal Tractor and his passion for his Products....He knows what he is talking about AND you pick up on his sincerity and excitement for these machines! He no doubt wants the BEST for his customers and He firmly believes that HOLLAND Delivers The Goods! No Surprise Tara that your Dad has Three and you have your New Baby Blue! Cheers From Ohio

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Mike was AWESOME. He really knows his stuff. And it was so nice of him to take tune out of his day to help me with this video 🙌

[@diggerdave51]

Great Video, Tara. I learned about grape harvesters today !!!! always a Great day when I learned something new. Thank you !!! And a question for you how are you going to harvest your first crop ????

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

I’ll have it done custom. With a grape harvester

[@bradleyalsbury3504]

We are using new Holland grape harvester with one hopper and the side boom and also with self washing. It's a good machine. The only problem was it's not good to tip the hopper into the gondola as the gondola is way too high in height.

[@janalower1855]

I find it very interesting to see how other crops are harvested. We only do hay, corn, and beans.

[@jessegreen1891]

Definitely need to get a loaner harvester for when it comes time to harvest! Be very interesting to watch!

[@lynwessel2471]

So,what time of year will your grapes be harvested?Will be fun to watch one of these in action.Great bunch of engineering to make the machine able to do several jobs. For $1/2 million you'd think they could include some nice hydraulic folding stairs to get into the cab, and also an optional dog cab!

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

I need a buddy seat for my dog for sure!! I believe I’ll be harvesting in September 🙌

[@deandanielson8074]

Hi Tara, this was very, very educational and interesting. You and Mike make a great team in explaining grape and olive harvesters. I have a suggestion: Because you have a large following, ask Mike and Coastal for a live demonstration of their machine on your first grape harvest. It would be helpful to prospective buyers and give you some free grape harvesting -- plus we could see it in action. I'm just saying.... - Dean from Minnesota

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Great idea!

[@georgemcpherson3046]

Very interesting. Are you going to hire someone with one of these for your harvest?

[@ernestsherwood8370]

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO TARA ,XXX.

[@belfast479]

I had no idea how it was done. Thanks for sharing.

[@kevinseifert4890]

Mike is an old friend of mine. He did a great job!

[@cgp1442]

This was probably the only equipment video I really enjoyed 👍🏻 Tara, if you get one, even though you do have 200 acres (yet), You can use it for your 50 then contract out your harvest services to help pay for the Harvester

[@cgp1442]

Sorry for the typos, meant Don’t have 200 acres yet 😁

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@wayneblake1886]

How much ?

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

He says in the video 😊

[@johanvantrier]

THE man thinks $$$$,I can sell this machine to the lady. Dream on.

[@markgillespie2347]

Now can you discribe yourself. Because your so cute. and was wondering what your husband dose. We never see him on your videos.

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

He was in my recent chicken video 😉 he’s a PA student.

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

It’s a Physicians Assistant. Similar-ish to a Nurse Practitioner. He’ll between a nurse and a doctor.
