Combine Harvesting Global population growth and limited arable land drives the demand for increased productivity in the agricultural equipment market. Farmers need machines that are smart, efficient, powerful and productive. This is especially true in the grain harvesting market. to handle different grains, suspension and leveling systems to scale terrain, continuously variable transmissions that make efficient use of fuel and fan drives that provide engine cooling or crop cleaning. HydraForce takes a full systems approach when solving equipment control challenges. Our wide range of...

SUSPENSION, POWERTRAIN, FAN DRIVE Suspension Basic Suspension Combines and other harvesters that travel on rough terrain depend on suspension systems to protect the equipment and operator from vibration and shock. Cartridge valving and manifolds are used extensively in rear axle, cabin, header and even track suspension systems. This basic hydro-pneumatic suspension system is ideal for cabin or seat suspension. The flexibility of cartridge valving is demonstrated in a multi-speed transmisstion circuit that provides the full range of control possibilities. On/off clutch control, four-wheel...

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...

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...
