Description
The TGF is frequently used in almond and olive harvesting using shakers or with grubbers in open field applications.
Hydraulic vertical tie-rod and third point are available as optional on the 9900 version.
Despite being extremely compact, the TGF offers the same operator space and comfort as a conventional tractor.
There is a choice of two cabs: Starlight, the air conditioned cab with the tapered profile, or the super low Protector, which, in turn, is available in two versions: the basic Protector S and the more accessorized Protector 100, the first compact cab certified to Category 4* pressurization, the highest level of operator protection from airborne toxins during crop spraying operations.
ACTIO™
AC Full Chassis with Oscillation – cast iron full chassis hosting the tractor’s transmission. with a central articulated joint which allows a longitudinal oscillation up to 15°; this system allows the tractor to keep up with the soil’s sinuosity ensuring constant traction and grip.
Steering wheels
The short wheelbase and tight steering radius make the tractor extremely agile in crop rows. To further reduce the turning radius, the steering* brakes can be utilized, while accentuating the steering effect obtained thanks to the double-acting constant velocity joints.
*optional
Comfort
Thanks to the ACTIO™ Chassis, the driving position coincides with the centre of oscillation of the tractor. Sideways jerking and stress are very limited and operator fatigue is reduced, even after many hours. The on-board instrumentation is elegant, functional and intuitive: backlit anti-reflection screen for night time use; “on-off” information system; digital tachometer and PTO rev counter; and electro-hydraulic pushbutton controls.
ESC – Electronic Speed Control
Electronic and automatic speed and engine rev control device. It memorizes and modulates the tractor speed at the operator’s discretion.
Pneumatic seat
Pneumatic suspension seat with height regulation and automatic driver-weight adjustment (from 50 kg to 130 kg).
Optional
EXG Extended Warranty
As a proof of its reliability, Antonio Carraro offers, in addition to its two-year standard warranty, an extension of warranty coverage up to three or four years, called EXG Maximum Protection.

Protector S TGF Cab
SUPER LOW PROFILE CAB
Protector S is a super-low-profile, pressurized cab, designed with main regard to the operator’s safety and health. It is ideal in cultivations demanding a very low cab, with its only 174-cm height
The driver is totally safe on difficult grounds, sloping rows or crops. Moreover, its pressurization grants total insulation from the outside environment during the handling of plant protection products.
Protector S is compact, but with a cosy, obstacle-free access.
The glass doors, the rear windscreen and the front portholes ensure all-round visibility.
The “butterfly” profile steel frame with continuous radius of curvature makes for a racy profile with no projecting elements.
The pull-handle doors can be opened with the touch of a finger.
Protector 100 TGF Cab
PRESSURIZED SUPER LOW PROFILE
CAT. 4-certified Pressurization
With its only 174 cm-height, Protector 100 is a low pressurized cab which unites comfort and visibility along with the best existing protection level: up to now it is the only compact, cat-4 certified pressurized cab in the market. The cat. 4 pressurization ensures the best insulation from plant protection products ever achieved in the low profile cabs.
The “butterfly” profile steel frame with continuous radius of curvature makes for a racy profile with no projecting elements.
The cab’s hermetic sealing and the pressurization are monitored by the Air Control device on the driving control panel. The environment remains thus healthy and safe during the handling of chemicals. Thanks to the active carbon filter, inside Protector the operator breathes perfectly clean air.
The rear window looking onto the equipment guarantees great rear visibility, which altogether with the control ergonomics and the two wheel-inspection windows give 360° control with maximum comfort.
StarLight TGF Cab
CLOSED CAB
StarLight is the Antonio Carraro closed cab assembled on Silent Block anti-vibrating device. It is equipped with front/rear windscreens, total-glass doors, double sunroof with sunscreens and portholes with view on wheels and devices, thanks to which it offers on-board brightness and total visibility.
The smooth design is functional to its performance through side-sloping rows or under foliage. Starlight’s compactness allows agility in the most narrow spaces with neither fruit nor flowers damage.
The soundproof clothing of the driver’s station grants acoustic comfort.
The main controls are in agronomical position.
The ventilation system features a rapid front windscreen defogging system. he incoming air is cleaned by a large filter, with an available activated carbon filter. The air-conditioning is achieved by a powerful system running on ecological coolant, which also refreshes the cabin air using a low rev motor. The heating system utilizes a powerful heat exchanger which is most exceptional even in the coldest weather. The roof can be opened to lift the electric fans for quick maintenance intervention. Starlight offers also two rear and two front lights – all adjustable. Two adjustable rear view mirrors, foldable plate holder, glovebox, electrical setup and speakers for stereo system, are other details of the onboard comfort of Starlight. As every Antonio Carraro cab, Starlight is certified as anti-capsizing device.
Vineyard and orchard tractor
use
This is the ideal tractor for nimble, precise manoeuvring among vines or fruit trees, in narrow rows and under low canopies. TGF is the best solution for working in densely planted orchards, high-trained vineyards, in greenhouses and on hillsides, even across steep inclines.
The pressurised Protector cab, available as standard in the Category 1 or in the optional Category 4 version, affords the best protection to the operator during crop spraying applications.
The TGF is frequently used in almond and olive harvesting using shakers, with grubbers in open field applications, in row crops and in greenhouses.
Orchard tractor with super low cab
versions
7800 S – 70 hp / 9900 – 85 hp
Powerful yet compact, TGF vineyard and orchard tractor guarantees exceptional performance over all types of terrain. To meet the specific needs of every customer, TGF offers a choice of two different propulsion units, and several hydraulic options, equipment packages and tyre combinations.
Compact orchard tractor
ENGINES AND DIMENSIONS
The transition to Stage 3B emissions standards has led to an increase in dimensions for everyone. Everyone, that is, except for Antonio Carraro, who have managed to maintain the compact dimensions of their engine compartments with all the new propulsion units, to the benefit of visibility and driver comfort.
With the new engines equipped with DPF filters, Antonio Carraro tractors achieve improvements in performance while taking more care of the environment.
