More application flexibility thanks to new hydraulic system options
For specialist tractors used in vineyards and orchards, it is particularly important to adapt the working hydraulics to the application profile of the operation. Some users require multiple hydraulic connections with low oil volume. Others, however, need fewer connections but with a high flow rate. Some also benefit from a timer control. For the precise control of any attachment combination, DEUTZ-FAHR now offers unique application flexibility for special-purpose tractors with a new modular hydraulic system for the 5 Series DF/DS/DV. Three powerful versions are available: Setting-Flow, Power-Flow and High-Flow.
The High-Flow version – with the most comprehensive features – offers the driver four control units (with flow control) on the right-hand side of the front of the cab.. They are operated electronically – with an intuitive joystick control on the newly designed operating panel in the cab. This new system makes it possible to control several device functions simultaneously. The oil volume is distributed precisely to all required units. On the left side, two proportional electronic control units operate with a high flow rate. They can be volume-controlled or time-controlled, including continuous flow, floating position and kickout functions. Two open returns are also installed.. To two separate tandem pumps provide an impressive maximum flow rate of 131 l/min. The steering is supplied separately by an individual pump with 45 l/min flow.
The Power-Flow version provides a Power Beyond connection and an open return on the right-hand side. The features on the left-hand side are the same as for the High-Flow version. Again, this version is equipped with two tandem pumps with a total flow rate of 131 l/min and a separate pump for the steering.
For the more basic Setting-Flow version, the features on the right-hand side are identical to the High-Flow version. A hydraulic connection with an open return is available on the left-hand side. This provides a flow rate of 64 l/min for the attachments. This version also provides a separate hydraulic circuit for the steering.
With this innovative hydraulic equipment, Deutz-Fahr now offers all users of specialist tractors the opportunity to select the right hydraulic system for their application profile and attachments, allowing hydraulic power to be selected and used with high efficiency and precision exactly where it is required.
