Configure implements around the tractor, crop and field — not from a static option list
Tractor compatibility, hydraulic flow, PTO and hitch, working width, row spacing, and precision-ag options belong in one configuration.
Dealers and factory reps already know that an implement only works when the tractor can drive it. Mercura CPQ encodes that product knowledge — power, hydraulics, transport width, guidance compatibility — so invalid combinations fail in the quote, not in the field.
Compatibility map
Does this implement actually work with this tractor?
The commercial question is a compatibility stack — not a line-item list.
- 01
Tractor
Power, hydraulics, PTO, hitch — known capability before iron is selected.
- 02
Implement
Width, rows, power and hydraulic demand for the chosen machine.
- 03
Precision Ag
Display, controller, and guidance must agree.
- 04
Transport
Working width vs transport envelope; folding when required.
- 05
Valid rig
Complete package ready for dealer or factory quote.
Encoded knowledge
Senior product knowledge, as configuration rules
Illustrative manufacturer rules — the interactive demo shows the same pattern.
Hydraulics follow iron options
If a 16-row planter adds vacuum seed meters, a hydraulic pump package may be required.
Power is a hard gate
If tractor hydraulic flow or horsepower is below requirement, the configuration is invalid until the option or tractor changes.
Transport forces structure
If working width exceeds the transport envelope, a folding frame is required — manufacturer-defined limits, not a regulatory claim.
Channels
One product model, different selling channels
Manufacturer direct, dealer, and distributor can share the same governed configuration logic. Pricing and access differ by account.
| Channel | Uses | Mercura role |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer direct | Factory configuration and project quotes | Same rules as the field — one source of truth |
| Dealer | Counter and yard quoting against tractor + implement | Guided config with account pricing |
| Distributor | Volume programmes and territory price books | Same validity rules, different commercial terms |
Capabilities
What Mercura carries for tractor and implement sales
Horsepower, hydraulics, and precision packages are dealer-facing rules — these capabilities keep them consistent.
Before / after
How the dealer quote used to work
Before
- Request lands at the dealer
- Catalogue check, then tractor spec lookup
- Call to a product specialist for hydraulics
- Precision-ag compatibility checked last
- Spreadsheet quote assembled by hand
With Mercura CPQ
- Select tractor and application first
- Incompatible options disappear
- Dependencies resolve as options change
- Package completes under manufacturer rules
- Dealer issues a valid quote from the same flow
