Carraro Supertigre Alpine tractor

[Dave177]

Does anyone have a carraro supertigre alpine tractor for sale? Looking for one to do up or for parts as I have one sitting in the yard unable to get spares for. Or even just looking for some parts if anyone has anything.

Hi Dave. Can’t help with your request but wondering if it’s difficult getting parts for Carrara tractors as I was thinking about looking for one?

Hi Dave, have you tried Jonathan Latham in Kent? He imports the Antonio Carraro's advertised on eBay.... worth a try. Cheers, Steve

It really depends what you are after in terms of parts. Most stuff is available through riko, but any dealer branded parts that come from italy are pretty expensive. The other issue is that the carraro factory in italy pretty much closes down for a month over the summer and you cant get parts during this time. Our trouble is they can't supply the correct ring and pinion for ours, hence needing to find a breaker/burned out one, or failing that just the gearbox.

And yes tried Jonathan a little while ago but will try again  this week

We (Riko) were importing them for years but decided to stop importing directly when the factory decided to appoint Kirkland UK as a 'specialist' importer for the fruit farming /vineyard market.  After a year we got totaly fed up with there customers askingcus to sort out there mistakes! Factory would not do anything about it so we voted with our feet! Johnathan Laytham does not import Antonio Carraro tractors, he just buys the odd one from Kirkland and then tries to sell them on Ebay. Same as he does with loads of products and often likes to give the impression he is the importer for. A visit to his premises would no doubt give you a better idea.  Nb. We still sell used ones and still have a parts account and woukd like to know who told you you can't get parts for the one you have. I have never not been able to get parts for old models. But I guess there can always be a 1st time. Please visit the Riko uk web site and send us an email with the model number, the serial number, and what you are after. We will email you relevant pages from the B2B system so you can check we are offering the parts you want.  Rgds, Stephen Cabrol. Riko UK Ltd.
