About this file

This is an Automotive Tank Purchase Description (ATPD-2301A) — a military specification document for the procurement of wheeled, all-wheel-drive tactical tractors with hydraulic attachments designed for excavation, material handling, and general construction tasks.

The specification covers two primary tractor types: Type II (Light, under 16,600 lbs, single CH-47 helicopter lift capable) and Type IV (Heavy, with Electronic Over Hydraulic controls, two CH-47 lifts objective). Both types must be C-130 aircraft transportable and Low Velocity Airdrop (LVAD) capable. Standard configurations include front loader attachments, rear-mounted backhoes, and portable auxiliary tools. Key performance requirements include: diesel engine operation on JP-8 and F-24 fuels; automatic/powershift transmission with stall capacity of 30 seconds; hydraulic system operating at maximum 220°F; all-wheel drive with traction control; gradeability up to 60 percent grades off-road; fording capability to 40 inches; travel speeds of 40+ mph on roads and 25+ mph cross-country; and a curb clearance circle not exceeding 52 feet. The tractor must accommodate 5th through 95th percentile military personnel in body armor and MOPP IV gear. Environmental performance spans -50°F to +160°F storage and -25°F to +110°F operating temperatures. The specification mandates compliance with prohibited materials restrictions (asbestos, beryllium, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, mercury, lead, PFAS, and certain ozone-depleting substances), Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) finish, and comprehensive safety standards including ROPS/FOPS protection. Verification includes extensive first-article and conformance inspections covering dimensional compliance, component functionality, performance testing of all attachments (loader, backhoe, forklift, sweeper, plow, roto-tiller, sprayer, auger, tamper/compactor, and various hydraulic tools), mobility and stability evaluations, environmental resistance testing, 160+ hour reliability testing, and human factors assessment. The document specifies detailed examination schedules and test procedures across 60 test categories addressing operability, performance, safety, transportability, and sustainment parameters.

The system shall provide for simultaneous operation of the rear attachment and any auxiliary tool without degradation. Circuits and components of the system shall be compatible with and operate on fluids conforming to MIL-PRF-2104 and MIL-PRF-32626, if required according to prevailing ambient temperature. The system shall restrict the operating temperature of the hydraulic system fluid to not greater than 220°F.

3.2.3.3.1 Hydraulic reservoir. The reservoir shall have a filler neck with a positively retained strainer that permits a gravity fill rate of not less than 10 gallons per minute, using oil at a temperature of 70°F (± 5°F). The filler shall be located to allow for filling from a standard 5-gallon container. A tethered filler cap, and breathers equipped with filters shall be provided. If the reservoir is sealed, the cap or neck shall provide for equalization of pressure, to facilitate opening.
