Curious about how hydraulic components power a tillage machine and enhance its efficiency?
In this guide, we’ll simplify the essentials of hydraulic hoses and highlight their benefits, making it easier for sales reps to grasp and communicate the advantages of our products. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of the key products we offer and how they can help your clients achieve better performance and lower maintenance costs.
Tillage Fold Cylinder Circuit
The fold cylinder circuit allows the tillage machine to fold for transport and storage. Reliable hoses are essential here to maintain smooth operation and avoid downtime during transitions between fields.
Tillage Lift Cylinder Circuit
This circuit controls lifting and lowering of tillage tools, allowing operators to adjust working depth. High-performance hoses here support precision and consistent results across soil conditions.
These Circuits Use:
Weatherhead H280 Hose
Features and Benefits:
- 300,000 Qualified Impulse Cycles: This means the hose has been tested to withstand 300,000 pressure surges, ensuring durability and reliability.
- Lower Maintenance Spending: Fewer replacements and repairs translate to cost savings.
- 35% Greater Flexibility: Faster, easier, and more cost-efficient installation.
- 26% Wider Temperature Range: Operates from -46°C to 126°C (-50°F to 250°F), making it versatile for various environments.
- 43% Better Bend Radius on Average Than Standard: More adaptable to tight spaces.
- Eight Times Better Abrasion Resistance: Equipped with a Dura-Tuff® cover for longer life.
- Class 0 Leakage (SAEJ1176): Achieves zero leakage when paired with Danfoss 1A series fittings.
Weatherhead H180 Hose
Features and Benefits:
- One Million Qualified Impulse Cycles: High durability for demanding conditions.
- 14% Higher Pressure Ratings: Handles higher pressures with ease.
- 26% wider temperature ranges and 33% Better Bend Radius Than EN857 Type 1SC Specification: more adaptable and reliable.
- Eight Times Better Abrasion Resistance: Dura-Tuff® cover or 700 times better with heavy-duty Bruiser® cover.
- Class 0 Leakage (SAEJ1176): Zero leakage when paired with Danfoss 1A series fittings.
Substitute Hoses
For clients seeking cost-effective alternatives, the following substitutes are available:
- Winner EC215: Can replace the H280, ensuring it meets pressure ratings and standards requirements.
- Winner EC115: Can replace the H180, maintaining the necessary performance and reliability.
Rear Implement Hitch
The rear implement hitch is a crucial component that allows the attachment and towing of the tillage machine
Quick disconnect couplings, such as the Danfoss Hansen flat face (FF) quick disconnect couplings, offer several key benefits that are crucial for efficient tillage operations:
- High-Pressure Handling: These couplings are designed to handle higher pressures, making them suitable for demanding hydraulic applications.
- No-Spill Design and Connect-Under-Pressure: These features minimize hydraulic fluid loss and contamination, ensuring cleaner and more efficient operations.
- Corrosion Resistance: The couplings are built to resist corrosion, enhancing their durability and longevity.
- Performance at Higher Pressures: When Danfoss quick disconnects are assembled with original Weatherhead hoses, fittings, and adapters, the complete assembly can perform at 50% greater operating pressure above SAE standards compared to other manufacturers.
Conclusion
These tillage circuits — fold, lift, and hitch — rely on dependable hydraulic hoses and fittings. For sales reps, knowing these essentials means helping clients reduce maintenance costs and improve field performance. Stick with the core products, and you’ll be ready to have smarter, more confident conversations with your customers.
