I wish we could sand easily. It doesn't freeze here - at least not more than a week. Most of the winter will be damp and cool 3-5 degrees Celcius or high 30'sF.
Here is a picture of my pruner - bet I could modify and put a sanding box on like yours.
I was actually thinking of mounting a couple of furford heads in place of the pruner head, a conveyer or two and pull a trailer befind behind that unit for fresh fruit.
My Darlingtons use sacks, which are ok. We just leave everything on the ground until the end of the day, then drive the gator and a trailer with the grain of the vine to collect the sacks. We then load up the totes on the dykes. This is the second year I picked a couple fields for fresh - the transition is getting better but it isnt very efficient. If I can get those fields to hold water - that really is my problem- then I will flood off after to get all my fruit out. I probably left 35% in the field this year. The other problem I had was poor fruit colour. We need to get the fresh picked by the end of September for our Thanksgiving. I had to stop twice and wait for the fruit to darken - then it was getting damp so maybe a dryer is needed too.
Here is an updated picture of my kids and dad and I on the last nice day we had.
