An agricultural trellis system is provided and generally includes a notch configured to receive a trellis wire therein and selectively release the trellis wire upward during mechanical pruning. The notch can be positioned on an above-ground portion of a vertical line post or a cross arm. The notch can include a tab extending upward from the bottom of the notch, and a first edge and a second edge each formed on the body. The first edge can be a flat edge and can be positioned laterally outwardly from at least a portion of the second edge, which can be a curved edge. The notch can include a retention protrusion extending laterally into the notch toward the second edge to a position where a lateral distance between the retention protrusion and the first edge in a direction normal to the central plane is less than a diameter of the trellis wire.

A working platform that can be removably attached to a front portion of a utility tractor is provided in which the platform is at least horizontally adjustable, is sized to allow a user to move about on the platform, and the tractor can be controlled by a user with controls located on the platform. In addition, an automatic steering system may be included that allows the tractor to remain generally along a preselected course, such as between rows of trees or other objects. As the tractor moves down the row of an orchard, the platform can be adjusted so as to be in an appropriate position for performing work on the tree. A harvesting accessory system may also be attached to the tractor in conjunction with the working platforms, which supports and conveys bins from the tractor to the ground.
