Novel circuit boosts machine efficiency on Forwarder2020 project
European researchers recently wrapped up the three-year Forwarder2020 project, which aimed to develop a next-generation forwarder that’s more efficient, productive and environmentally sustainable than anything currently in use. Engineers are now reporting preliminary findings from lab tests and field trials, with encouraging results. Forwarders are articulated vehicles that carry felled timbers from the woods to […]
Hydraulic travel drive controls tire pressure
Controlling the tire pressure of crop harvesters has numerous advantages, due to different vehicle handling characteristics whether operating on roads or in fields. To address the need, Bosch Rexroth introduced the GFT 8150 TIS (Tire Inflation System), which enables dynamically optimized tire pressure in machines, at Agritechnica 2019 in Hannover, Germany. The new GFT 8150 […]
