Before discussing why the popular self-propelled application machines quietly disappeared from the European radar a couple of years ago, it is first worth tracing the history of the iconic three, four and five-wheeler Terra-Gator
This story starts in the early 1980s when there were no strict application regulations and slurry was splashplated all year round. Dutch slurry contractor Kurstjens’ search for a highcapacity and light-footed machine to reduce damage to land during the winter ended up with the US-built Ag-Gator.
