Harvest-season intensity on farm tracks: bundled cane loads, soft shoulders and dust — RT40 for the field side, DF30 for the pad, spares staged before the mill window opens.
Scenario challenges
Cane fields have no floor; ground clearance, tires and 4WD are the access ticket.
Cane moves when the mill takes it; equipment availability in the window is the whole economics.
Field dust and cane trash load filtration and cooling in the season.
Selection logic
| Decision factor | What to check on site | How this solution is specified |
|---|---|---|
| Seasonal ground | Tracks soften in the wet and set in the dry. | RT40 — 4WD/2WD switchable, aggressive-lug tires, oscillating axle, 30% gradeability. |
| Bundled loads | Cane bundles vary in length and moisture. | Capacity per the load chart at the true load center; operator discipline on broken ground. |
| Season readiness | The season waits for nothing. | Pre-season service and staged spares per the maintenance schedule and farm-kit pattern; 98.5% on-time delivery from a 12,000-unit plant. |
| Pad and yard share | Prepared pads carry yard work. | DF30 on pads and loading fronts — 3.0 t with dry-type filtration for the dust. |
Recommended models
