Valtra introduces powerful new hydraulics with output of 160 liters/minute

05/16/2005

Valtra is offering optional new hydraulics technology on T, M and XM Series tractors. The new technology increases theoretical output to 190 litres/minute. In practice this allows for output of around 160 litres/minute, which is still the highest output for this size class of tractors.

The new hydraulics technology consists of the tractor’s standard hydraulics plus a load-sensing variable-capacity pump that can be switched on separately. The pump is safely positioned in the nose of the tractor. For this reason the new hydraulics technology cannot be specified as an option together with the front linkage or front PTO.

The capacity of the load-sensing hydraulics pump container is 70 litres. The amount of fluid available temporarily is the same as on standard tractors. The new hydraulics technology features a standard ¾-inch Power Beyond coupling that allows the high output to be directed to the implements own valve blocks; a similar ¾-inch coupling is used for return flow of the fluid.

The new technology allows for a steady hydraulic output regardless of engine speed. It is an advantage for all kinds of work that demand a high level of hydraulic output, such as for potato harvesting implements and pneumatic manure spreaders. In addition, the new hydraulics allow for several hydraulic implements to be used simultaneously at low engine speeds, which saves fuel and reduces noise. This makes the system ideal also for municipal work.
