Cotton Harvesters, Digging Harvesters and Balers Baler Cotton Harvesters Crops that grow underground, such as potatoes, carrots, and beets, require specialized harvesting equipment that trims or mows the plants first, then digs below the ground to harvest them. Proportional hydraulic control of the mechanisms for binding and wrapping bales is accomplished effectively with cartridge valves. Accurate proportional pressure control can ensure the correct bale density – soft in the center to allow enough air flow for drying, and hard on the outside to shed water. HydraForce has extensive experience...

Specialty Harvesting Sugarcane Harvesters Sugar cane harvesting thrives on efficiency, since its intense operations require many high flow hydraulic circuits with logic elements. Proportional control cartridge valves provide an excellent way to achieve that efficiency. Sugarcane is the world's largest crop and one of the toughest to harvest. It grows in the heat and humidity of tropical countries and can reach heights of 2 to 6 meters (6 to 19 feet). The stalks are tall and tough and must be trimmed at the top and cut at the base during harvest. Cleaner cane means higher quality and less equipment...
