I saw a photo on Costco Magazine on a strawberry farm. This photo looks interesting.
I can see two sets of tires under the farm house. Do they need to push the house back and forth? How to maintain the balance?

Those typically are pulled by a tractor and maintain balance because they are hooked to the tractor. It appears those are un hooked and that there is a hitch with a jack on the other side acting as a 3rd leg to maintain balance.

This is actually Driscolls, the famed farm company.
If this is pulled with tractor, how can the tractor go in the narrow isle between the rows?
The tractors around here used in row crops like those strawberries are high crops. They have narrow tires and set much higher than normal.
Then the tires must align well with the isles… Make sense now. I would think the tractor should be still connected with the active picking. The farm house should keep moving with the pickers.
Yes. Row width is dependant on distance between tires of the tractors.
