    Study Notes

    Hydraulic Systems in Agricultural Machinery

    • Accumulator type: Side-mounted accumulators are typically used on tractors' engines.
    • Combine harvester hydraulic circuit: Closed-centre hydraulic circuits are commonly used on combine harvesters.
    • Spool valve operation: Open-centre hydraulic systems are used when operating spool valves at the rear of a tractor.
    • Tractor hydraulic pump type: Gear pumps are typically found on tractors.
    • Common hydraulic pressure: The common pressure found in the hydraulics on a piece of agricultural machinery is around 150-200 bar (2175-2900 psi).
    • Importance of hydraulics in agriculture: Hydraulics are highly utilized in agriculture, with a significant percentage of agricultural machinery relying on hydraulic systems.
    • Reservoir position: The reservoir of hydraulic oil is typically positioned on the tractor's rear axle or near the hydraulic pump.
    • One-way hydraulic ram usage: One-way hydraulic rams are occasionally used in agricultural machinery, but not as frequently as other types of hydraulic systems.
    • First use of hydraulics in agriculture: Hydraulics were first used on agricultural machinery in the 1940s.
    • Typical hydraulic oil grade: The typical grade of oil used in hydraulic systems on agricultural machinery is ISO 46 or ISO 68.
