One of the most significant risks of inefficiency on farms is linked to obtaining the best hydraulic connection between the fleet of tractors and that of the implements. Most tractors have rear hydraulic ports characterised by coloured indicators, but what about the implements? Implements specialised in a single and specific season, then deposited in warehouses until the following season, are the most subject to this type of risk. To completely remove the risk of nonoptimised or incorrect connections, Faster has worked on an innovative system called Faster ABC, where ABC stands for Always the Best Connection. The system guides the final user to create a pairing between tractor and implement, saving the paring for future use, allowing the correct connection of each hose to the respective port. Thanks to the Faster ABC smartphone app, the operator is guided on this process. The ECU on the tractor can be connected via CANbus with the tractor, so any information of the implement (nominal working power, pressure, oil flow) can be used for tractor hydraulic power finetuning, and thus fuel-saving.
