SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING LOAD FLOW REQUIREMENTS FOR A TRACTOR SINGLE PUMP HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for managing hydraulic fluid load flow requirements for a tractor having a single pump hydraulic system. The system connects a hydraulic implement in parallel and gives precedence to the tractor's essential operations, such as a hydraulic steering system, to be controlled independently of the hydraulic pressure requirements of the implement system. The method includes determining the essential operation fluid pressure requirement; determining the implement fluid pressure requirement; and maintaining the essential operation fluid pressure requirement by providing hydraulic fluid flow to the essential operation regardless of the implement fluid pressure requirement.
