These products include tractors, planters, disk harrows, soil probes, coring machines, seed drills, and various attachments used for preparing land surfaces for planting, research, and maintenance purposes. The equipment supports diverse applications across agricultural research, land management, national parks, wildlife refuges, and military installation grounds.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC 3710 demonstrate a robust market for soil preparation equipment, with contract values ranging from approximately $10,000 to $500,000. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service emerges as the most frequent purchaser, followed by the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service and various military branches. Many awards are designated as small business set-asides, particularly total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business categories. Common contractors include Almaco, Federal Contracts LLC, Truax Company, and Huntsville Tractor & Equipment. Delivery locations span multiple states, with significant concentrations in Missouri, Illinois, New York, and Arizona.
