Seems like a great winter job for someone with the means to do it.

There is/was a yearly European ag equipment conference which a faculty member of WSU attended several years ago.  For those folks in WA state, I believe it was Andy Bary out of WSU-Puyallup.  He brought back a lot of pictures which he showed as part of a presentation for small-scale equipment options.  He wanted us to be aware of what was already available in Europe and which MIGHT someday be available here.  To say that every jaw in the room was on the floor, would be just about accurate.  They have small-scale and/or innovative tools over there that make us look like cave men with clubs.  It really was shocking.  We talked then about forming some kind of import collective to get some of those tools over here but that idea never went anywhere.  And of course the offers to travel there once/year on a buying mission, but that didn’t go anywhere either.  I still think that some enterprising individual could set up an American dealership for some of this stuff and really do American farming a huge favor.  Won’t be me though – I don’t have any inclination to travel right now and I already have enough to do.  Still, could be an idea to spread around and see if anyone ever does anything with the concept.

Are the Mazzotti or Fobro Mobil tool carrier tractors available in the USA?

(They are like modernized Allis Chalmers G tractors with much upgraded capabilities)
