B.S.S - Boom Suspension System

A nitrogen/oil accumulator is fitted into the boom lift circuit. When the system is activated, it acts as a suspension damper, smoothing out the ride over rough surfaces.

Load-Sensing hydraulic circuits

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!

This model has Load sensing and flow sharing

LSFS - the same pump feeds a ‘Flow-
sharing’ valve block with fully electronic and proportional control of all services.  Service motion mirrors exactly the movement of the controls, whatever the load imposed on any service.
