About this file
This document is a set of technical specifications for the installation of a hydraulic soil probe and related equipment on government pickup trucks. The key requirements include:
-
Fabricate and install a mounting plate and brackets/braces to securely mount the hydraulic probe and power pack on the truck bed. The probe must be installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines to maximize ground clearance.
-
Modify the truck bed by cutting and sealing openings to allow access for the probe. Fabricate and install a core tube sample holder.
-
Include a battery disconnect switch for the hydraulic power pack and conduct testing to ensure proper operation without leaks.
This attachment is related to Solicitation Number 12FPC324Q0074 issued by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service for the installation of this equipment on government vehicles. The solicitation provides the detailed specifications for the required work.

USDA NRCS Specifications for mounting Hydraulic Probe and toolbox with associated hardware and parts on the Government Pickup trucks.
1. Fabricate and install mounting plate for the hydraulic probe. Plates shall be made of a material strong enough to withstand the weight of the probe without causing damage to the plate nor the vehicle when the probe is completely installed.
2. Modify/remove areas on the metal truck bed by cutting the bottom and side of the bed for hydraulic probe access. Upon completion of this modification, the contractor will ‘box in’ and seal the cut section of the metal truck bed on the inside of the truck bed. (refer to figure 6)
3. Fabricate and install mounting brackets/braces for the hydraulic power pack. Brackets/braces shall be sturdy and strong enough to ensure the power pack does not come loose during vehicle operation nor when the probe is in operation. (refer to figure 5)
4. Install a battery disconnect switch for the hydraulic power pack and include all associated wiring.
5. Install the probe provided by NRCS. Fabricate and install probe braces. The probe shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and guidelines to maximize the vehicle’s ground clearance. (refer to figures 1, 2 and 3)
6. Fabricate and install hydraulic hoses as needed for installation. Fill the hydraulic power pack with appropriate hydraulic fluid and conduct a successful test of the probe operation, ensuring to check for oil leaks or cracks.
7. Fabricate and install a Core Tube Sample holder on the same side of the truck bed rail as the hydraulic probe. Material shall be no less than 2” angle iron or a similar sturdy metal material capable of holding the sample without bending. (refer to figure 3 and 4)
8. Lubricate the hydraulic probe by greasing all zerks to manufacturer specifications.
