Project: 4WD Agriculture Tractor with 90+ rated PTO HP

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 Scope of Work: The USDA-ARS Environmentally Integrated Dairy Management Research Unit in Marshfield, WI has a requirement/need for a tractor with 90+ rated PTO HP to be used for mixing feed rations.

2.0 Background: The tractor will be used to power a total mixed ration (TMR) mixer to mix rations. The TMR mixer which is powered by the tractor, requires a tractor with 90 rated PTO HP. The tractor must have 100-130 rated engine HP. The tractor must have rear and front wheel drive. PTO must be dual speed with 540 and 1000. The tractor will operate year-round in cold and hot environments; thus the tractor must have a cab with heat and air-conditioning, and include a cold weather package. No loader attachment is to be included. The cab must have a monitor bar mounted on the cab’s right side with a 3-prong 12 volt electric outlet to allow attachment of a tablet/monitor used for making feed mixes. The cab interior (seat/wheel) can be standard option, and cab suspension is not needed. The tractor must have 2 mechanical rear hydraulic remotes. To allow operation of the PTO from outside the cab, a rear fender PTO switch is desired, but not required if the tractor does not have that option. The tractor will operate in the early morning, so an advanced front and rear light package is required.

See technical requirements for full list of specifications required.
