Harvesting reliable machinery in farming

June 2, 2025 By Mary Gannon

Mud is yet another risk to agriculture machinery’s hydraulic systems, as machines are often stored outdoors.

Agricultural machinery is up against a variety of harsh environmental conditions, so proper protection of the hydraulic systems is necessary. By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor The agricultural industry is unique in many ways, not the least of which is the source of nourishment for billions of people, which is not something mining or forestry can […]

Three key priorities for successful agricultural hydraulic design

May 23, 2017 By Mary Gannon

Agricultural hydraulic design web-combine

Agricultural hydraulic design systems must be energy efficient, easy to operate and maintain, and of course reliable. Contributed by Carl Dyke, CD Industrial Group, Inc. Designers of hydraulic systems for agricultural machines face some difficult challenges. This is especially true for high horsepower tractors with not only steering and brake functions, but where a great […]

New tank-mounted low pressure filter

May 20, 2016 By Paul Heney

Schroeder Industries has released the redesigned ZT, a tank-mounted low pressure filter. The 100-psi ZT features an aluminum head with a plastic bowl and plastic cap to minimize weight. The new ZT retains the same mounting pattern as the previous design, so it can be a drop-in replacement for existing applications. The threaded outlet option is […]

Where are filtration systems used?

May 6, 2016 By Paul Heney

schroeder-MFD-MV-mobile-filtration-system-th

Filtration systems are used anywhere upgraded or auxiliary filtration is required in a hydraulic system. A filtration system is available in either permanent kidney loop circuits or portable filter cart assemblies. Either system is used to improve the cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic machine. Often, filtration systems are used to augment existing […]

Where are hydraulic filters used?

May 5, 2016 By Paul Heney

Pall-Corp-filter-cutaway-web

Hydraulic filters are used anywhere in a hydraulic system particle contamination is to be removed. Particle contamination can be ingested through the reservoir, created during the manufacture of system components, or generated internally from the hydraulic components themselves (especially pumps and motors). Particle contamination is the primary cause of hydraulic component failure. Hydraulic filters are […]

Without a doubt, clean hydraulic fluid is the ultimate lifeblood of a hydraulic system. Contamination can reduce efficiency and possibly destroy machinery. That’s why many companies invest in offline filtration systems, commonly referred to as filter carts or kidney loop systems, for the external filtration of hydraulic fluids. Although traditionally used only when filtration was […]

What is hydraulic fluid conditioning – part 1

August 6, 2015 By Josh Cosford

Hydraulic-fluid

  You’ll have to excuse my shade of indigo. I’m not sure if it’s more Smurf or Na’vi, but back when I first started writing about fluid power, I promised I’d talk about fluid conditioning until I’m blue in the face. I’ll live with the odd skin tone, because fluid conditioning is still one of […]

Easy to use hydraulic filter select tool

July 23, 2015 By Mike Santora

Rexroth-paint-splash-logo-image

Bosch Rexroth has developed a filter sizing program that allows users to input various parameters such as fluid type, fluid viscosity, system temperature, and micron rating to evaluate the pressure drop across Rexroth filters. The sizing software (Filter Select) can be used to quickly determine the best filter for a specific hydraulic application and will […]
