Long-legged tractor in France

Today in our travels we came across this tractor which looks for all the world like an alien transport vehicle. Perhaps you’re familiar with them but we don’t see them often in Australia, at least not where we live.
It would be used in vineyards and crops to perhaps spray for weeds or to fertilise the paddocks. Being so tall, it straddles the vines or crops, that is, of course, providing the rows of vegetation are the correct distance apart.
Don’t you think it looks strange?

It is strange. The first thing I thought of was vineyards when I saw the photo.

@JudyEv - I have never seen a tractor like that in the United States. It looks very practical, however.

@JudyEv - Who knows! I could drive past a farm here in Southern California one day and suddenly notice one. You know how it is. You buy a new car and suddenly you notice how many other cars of that style are on the road. I'm sure it will be that way with the tractor.

@DeborahDiane Unless you have an interest, things can slip by without notice. I wonder what you'll see now?

It provides a good vantage view of the tractor operator to be able to see as far as he can of the field to be worked on :)

I would think this would be a Good one for maneuvering around Vineyards. Not sure if they have anything like that here in the US or not.
