About this file
This document is a specifications sheet for a Vertical Till Implement, detailing requirements for an agricultural tillage machine. The specifications call for a 15-16 foot wide implement suitable for bed preparation and light primary tillage, specifically designed for heavy clay soils with stones. Key technical requirements include coulter-based design with wavy coulters, 4-inch adjustable working depth, and compatibility with tractors up to 200 horsepower. The implement must feature adjustable angle coulters, residue sizing capabilities, and include attachments such as a rolling harrow or spike tooth harrow and smoothing rollers or a clod chopping reel.
Additional requirements specify a base weight under 1500 lbs, sealed maintenance-free bearings, and readily available parts within 24 hours or from a dealer within 35 miles of Shelburne, Vermont. The document allows for both new and used equipment, with used implements requiring at least 50% remaining life on wear parts and being in good working condition without leaks, seized points, loose bearings, or bent components. The specifications provide detailed technical criteria for potential vendors to meet when proposing a vertical tillage implement for agricultural use.
