Maximum stability even on steep slopes, high load capacity, and outstanding operational versatility—these, in short, are the features that make the Caron C70 transporter unbeatable for forest maintenance, forage applications, and fertilization on mountainous terrain, according to the experience of Giuliano Tavernaro.
Located in the upper Primiero Valley, in the province of Trento, San Martino di Castrozza is a small mountain village that has inspired artists such as the Austrian writer and playwright Arthur Schnitzler and the composer Richard Strauss, thanks to the majestic scenery of the Pale di San Martino, which glow pink at every sunset.
Just a short distance away, in the Civertaghe area, lies the namesake alpine farm (“Malga”) directly connected to the work of Giuliano Tavernaro, owner of a small mountain farm dedicated to raising beef cattle and horses.
From the original six hectares of forage meadows inherited from his family, Giuliano Tavernaro has managed to expand his operations to 12 hectares, “thanks to the Caron transporters. The recently purchased ‘C70’ is the direct successor to the ‘Ct 800’ model I used in past years, which allowed me to reach land previously inaccessible due to its layout and slopes, enabling me to increase the size of my cultivated areas.” Indeed, these investments have more than paid off through increased productivity and business growth.
“Exactly. Caron transporters are unrivaled in mountainous environments because they can safely and effectively handle working conditions that would be unthinkable for traditional tractors, combining compact design and the stability of a low center of gravity with a load capacity unmatched in this category of vehicles,” Tavernaro continues.
Both the former “Ct 800” and the current “C70” are primarily used for haymaking. “But not only that—the range of tasks is quite varied. In addition to forage harvesting, for which I had Caron install a three-point hitch to connect a self-loading system, I also use the machine for forest maintenance, thanks to a rear-mounted tool carrier equipped with a winch and a log splitter, and for fertilizing the fields with a side-discharge manure spreader.
The latter task, in particular, would be impossible without the ‘C70’, as no traditional tractor could safely and effectively manage a manure spreader on the steep slopes typical of our terrain.”
So, no downsides?
“No,” replies Giuliano Tavernaro. “In fact, I’d say there’s even the added value of being able to carry out a fully ‘Made in Italy’ production chain—from the machine to the finished product—which is always a source of pride, both commercially and professionally. What’s more, and precisely because it’s an Italian brand, Caron offers a level of customer care that’s hard to find among other transporter manufacturers, providing me with prompt support whenever I need it.”
