1. Comparison of: Utility Vehicles-> Utility Tractors National AgrAbility Project Staff Project Year 2

2. Utility Tractors Review Utility Vehicle Product Comparison Toll -Seating -Floor area (foot room) -Steering -Controls -Dump/Cargo Bed and Hitch -Tires/Clearance/Suspension -ROPS -Other

3. Utility Tractors What the product gathering tool is intended to do: - Look for items not in a standard utility tractor marketing “brochure” -(e.g., does the steering wheel tilt) -Look for measurements not in a standard utility tractor marketing “brochure” -(e.g., what is the first step height) -Things important for accessibility (AgrAbility needs)

4. Utility Tractors Results of utility tractor product comparison tool would be: - Another source of information that should be used along with standard product brochures and web or dealer information and specifications to help the AgrAbility professional recommend the best adaptation or best tractor(s) or tractor adaptation solution

5. Utility Tractors If AgrAbility staff utilize the product comparison data gathering tool, and share the results: -National AgrAbility Project (NAP) will post to the web site -Everyone (AgrAbility staff across the country) benefits -Types of information is gathered informally now, would be captured for all to use

6. Utility Tractors Focus on “utility tractors” for data gathering May mean different things in different areas of the country or within different tractor manufacturers Our focus will be tractors large enough to require a ROPS (approx. 20 hp) to around 70/80 hp range maximum Data gathering tool “may” have wider use, but this will be our (NAP) focus

7. Utility Tractors Task today is to begin the process to develop the utility tractor product comparison tool Brainstorm ideas and collect them Later (after the workshop) refine and reorganize ideas into a download-able tool which staff can use to collect data on utility tractors If you would like to be involved in the refinement process, please let me know via email: menovak@wisc.edu
