The combination of the powered front wheel and steerable double bogie rear axles provide additional agility and maneuverability. This versatile machine can be equipped to apply liquid or dry manure, compost or biosolids. JUMP IN AND GO It really is that easy for a new operator. Easy to understand screens combined with customized controls designed around nutrient application, the AT5105 operator can be 100% productive and efficient from the first day in the driver’s seat. The AT5105 systems and technology are designed to make every screen, every button, every piece of technology as intuitive as possible. THE MOST PRODUCTIVE & RELIABLE NUTRIENT APPLICATORS A true five-wheel applicator, the AT5105 is in a class by itself.

Designed to meet the unique needs of the application industry, the AT5105 delivers a perfect balance of power, traction, comfort, and easy operation. Driver comfort is achieved through a focus on both operator ride quality and ease of operation. The five-wheel chassis was designed to provide a premium ride via the hydraulically controlled cab suspension, reducing driver fatigue during the long work hours required to apply vital nutrients in a limited application window. The AT5105 is smart enough to apply power and torque, correctly, without the operator making adjustments, so that it pulls through the most difficult ground conditions. The AT5105 senses the slip and does all the work to keep it applying as normal. Full control in all circumstances--highly compacted ground to wet spots--the AT5105 knows exactly how to adjust. The AT5105 sets the standard for productivity. AT5105 The AT5105 can be operated at 100% productivity from the first day in the seat. Oxbo’s continuous communication between the SCANIA engine and the ZF transmission delivers the perfect balance of traction and control. The operator is 100% in control, all the time. The combination of mechanical drive and the ZF CVT delivers the most productivity, whether you are injecting or spreading. A MACHINE YOU CAN TRUST The AT5105 does the hard work. Operators trust the controls, transmission, engine, and permanent, mechanical all-wheel drive to effortlessly work together to pull through even the toughest ground conditions. The AT5105 balances power, traction, and torque while delivering excellent fuel economy. The high flotation, five-wheel design of the AT5105 reduces ground compaction across ground conditions and application system.

Amendments to Specifications I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my statutory obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States (I.C. 5-16-8-1). I hereby certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for this project will use steel products or foundry products made in the United States on this project if awarded. I understand I have an affirmative duty to notify the City in my bid that my proposal does not include the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States. I understand it is my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a justification to the City, subject to review and approval, why the cost of United States made steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of bid which does not use steel products or foundry products made in the United States, the City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination if the price of United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations hereunder may result in forfeiture of contractual payments. Because the machine(s) for this bid are manufactured in the Oxbo facility in Roosendaal Netherlands, it would add unreasonable and unneeded cost to use exclusively steel and foundry products made in the United States. As a global company Oxbo strives to purchase components that meet the design and quality specifications at the lowest possible price.
