Cool Tool of the Day: The PTO Power of the Bull

Feel free to grab this Bull by the horns and put it to work powering your operations, impelling pumps, fueling vacuum systems and energizing your overall operations. Premier Power LLC of Alden, Iowa, has designed a pretty neat mobile PTO power source for farm operations needing the flexibility of an efficient PTO power source in multiple locations. With farm operations growing larger, fuel costs on the rise and equipment maintenance expenses increasing, now is the time to invest in equipment that works as hard as it does smart.

“The Bull is ideal for powering equipment like manure pumps, generators and grain vacs where you may need to operate them for hours at a time,” said Justin Jordahl, president of Premier Power. “In our testing, we’ve found that it can save up to 3 gal of fuel per hour compared to a tractor. Running the Bull would save you a substantial amount of money in fuel costs alone.”

The Bull features a compact, four-wheel, trailered power unit with a Tier III engine engineered to operate PTO-powered equipment at a lower engine RPM, providing tractor-free PTO power at significantly lower fuel costs. The unit can easily be pulled behind a pickup or SUV, eliminating the need to operate equipment using tractors, which are more difficult to move quickly between one location and another. The Bull also offers better mobility and reduced wear on more expensive tractors.

The Bull is available in two different models, the P150, which features dual output PTO (540 or 1,000 RPM), two hydraulic quick coupler remotes and a 195-gal tank. The PX150 also includes a Cat I and Cat II adjustable three-point hitch, hydraulic leveling outriggers for stability in uneven terrain, a tool storage compartment and a 175-gal tank.
