Many of the 2005 series of TurboFarmers have the advantages of a ‘Load-sensing’ hydraulic system, which has been commonplace on larger, construction handlers for some time.
The simpler gear pump driven systems are perfectly satisfactory for many farm applications. However, the use of more and more attachments that require continuous hydraulic flow - eg bale wrappers - has led to a need for greater flow rates.
It would be very wasteful to have a huge engine merely to drive the hydraulics, so ‘Load-sensing’ is the answer. A much larger flow pump can be used (150 l/min in the case of these TurboFarmers), which means that speed of operation is much increased.
However, when a load is applied, a management system reduces the flow rate to match the available power of the engine.
Other advantages include a smoother, lower engine speed operation and a reduction in fuel consumption, even when idling!
