Fig. 2 shows the components of an HST. These are: [1] An input shaft that transmits power from the engine, [2] An output shaft that transmits power from the HST to the vehicle, [3] A control lever that controls vehicle speed and traveling direction (forward/reverse), [4] A center case that transmits hydraulic power, [5] An axial piston pump, [6] An axial piston motor, [7] A variable swash plate that changes pump discharge quantity, [8] A fixed swash plate in the motor assembly, [9] A charge relief valve that determines the pressure of the hydraulic fluid supplied to the HST main circuit, [10] A check valve for closing the main circuit, [11] A relief valve that limits pressure increases in the main circuit, [12] A charge pump that makes up for leaks in the pump and motor, and [13] A housing that holds these components and keeps them immersed in lubricant. Fig. 3 shows an example of an HST hydraulic circuit.

[1] The HST input shaft rotates by the engine power and the HST pump that is connected with input shaft converts the rotational energy into hydraulic energy (flow rate and pressure). [2] When the angle of the variable swash plate is changed, the hydraulic energy is transmitted to the HST motor. [3] The HST motor converts the hydraulic energy back to rotational energy that is in turn transmitted via the output shaft to a sub-shift or other gear transmission. [4] The angle of the variable swash plate can be changed arbitrarily to provide continuously variable gearing in either forward or reverse traveling (see Fig. 4).

Compact utility tractors are popular with homeowners, ranchers, farmers, landscape contractors, and landowners and when paired with the right implements and attachments, almost any job can go from a difficult chore to an absolute breeze! Whether you are looking for tools for your compact tractor to help maintain the property, to complete major home projects or improvements, or just to keep your acreage well cared for, the right attachments can make your tractor a productive machine that can save you time, and thousands of dollars! There are tractor implements to maintain horse arenas, grazing lands, landscaping, lifting heavy items, moving dirt, or to clearing away winter snow. With so many different types, sizes, and brands of tractor implements, choosing the best tractor attachments for your needs can be confusing, to say the least. While it ultimately comes down to your specific goals and projects to determine what attachments may be best for you, but here you find a list of great Tractor Attachments to Own. Each attachment that made this list are here because they meet two important criteria; i) each attachment or implement on the list serves a unique purpose but is still versatile enough to get many different types of jobs done with a single attachment; and ii) each will work well on any type of compact or utility tractor.

Tractor Front-End Loader - The most popular attachment for compact utility tractors is a front-end loader. Loaders are very versatile and can do much more than just scoop dirt. While tractor loaders are great for digging and hauling dirt and gravel, they also do very well picking and hauling rocks, firewood, plant materials, and in fact any heavy load. Loader pallet fork attachments are available to turn your tractor into a great rough terrain forklift! Many tractor loaders are sold with just a general bucket, but there are many other options in addition to forks like grapple bucket, rock and root buckets, light material buckets, manure forks, bale spears, blades, as well as lifting and towing hitches. Many tractor loaders are equipped with quick coupler attachments that makes changing out loader attachments quick and easy. Overall, loader attachments are a great investment, and one to at least consider.

Tractor Finish Mowers - Finishing mowers are built for fine and groomed mowing. They typically have three blades with mowing height controlled by four gage wheels. These mowers typically use belts

to drive the blades. Tractor Finishing Mowers provide a great cut quality and work well for mowing open areas to a low cutting height with minimal scalping, for a well-manicured look. If you have finished lawn to maintain, a grooming finish mower is a right choice.

Tractor - Digging post holes is a common job for tractors. Whether you"re building a fence, fencing an entire property, planting trees, making holes for concrete pylons, digging shallow wells, or for general landscape improvements, posthole diggers are the way to go! Many augers widths and depths are available ranging from 4 inches to 24 inches. Posthole diggers are effective in most soil conditions, and in extremely hard soil with rocks, you may want to consider heavy-duty tip teeth. All in all, post hole diggers are a good choice to make quick work of jobs that may take literally hours with a pick and shovel.

Tractor Box Scraper – – No matter what you call it, box scrapers/box blades for tractors are the best for leveling, scraping, and breaking up even the hardest ground. Tractor box blades have cutting edges on both the front and back of the box (blades on both sides of the box) and are functionally used as scrapers in a forward or backward direction to push or pull material – they do both functions of pushing dirt like a dozer, and pulling dirt create a level surface and grade. Most box blades also have ripper teeth on a toolbar that can be adjusted for depth or lifted out of the way when grading. These teeth allow you to penetrate and break up hard soil quickly. Ripper teeth on the front of the box loosen compact soil, and then the blade follows to scrape or and smooth the ground for a nice finish. Box blades are great for driveway maintenance and washouts; as the scraper drags behind the tractor, it moves gravel from high spots and areas and redistributes it to low spots. They also make good snowplows and snow-removal devices, especially in heavy or wet snow conditions. Box blades range from 4 to 8 feet in width and need to be properly matched to the tractor. Box Scraper Blades do a lot of things well, and if you had to choose only one tractor attachment, this is it!

Combustion engines, like those found in most cars, transfer power to the vehicle’s axle, which turns the wheels. Hydrostatic transmissions found in most modern tractors and zero-turn mowers, work by transferring power from the engine to hydraulic pumps which use liquid pressure to move the wheels. There’s no need for gears, and changing speed is smooth and efficient.

With any transmission, things can go wrong. The first step is to read your Operator’s Manual. There are many different types of equipment with hydrostatic transmissions, and we can only offer general advice. Your tractor operator’s manual will have information specific to your make and model, and will offer helpful information about where to find filters and other parts that might require servicing are located on your tractor or lawn equipment.

Hydrostatic transmissions include mechanical parts such as a differential and a drive axle, plus rubber or metal hoses the liquid is pushed through. Failure of any mechanical component, a broken hose, or clogged filter will cause tractor hydrostatic transmission problems. But the most common issue will be the oil itself.

Zero turn hydrostatic transmission problems can start with air in the system, a condition known as cavitation. When the pump is full of air instead of oil, it can’t generate the pressure needed to provide power. This is pretty common in zero-turn mower transmissions. After your mower has been stored for the winter, it’s a good idea to purge the transmission before use. It’s also a good first step if your motor is sluggish or slow.

If your system is purged and you still have a problem, it’s time to do a little basic troubleshooting. Start with a complete visual check of the hydraulic system.

Sluggish operation is often due to old or overused fluids. If there are no signs of fluid leaks or damage, it may be time to change your hydraulic and steering fluids.

If you need help troubleshooting your tractor’s hydraulic system, call your dealer. Their service department should be able to ask the right questions, give suggestions, and you can make an appointment for service if necessary.

Some things are beyond DIY. When it’s time to call in an expert, don’t hesitate. Your tractor represents a significant investment in terms of both money and delay. It’s one of those farm equipment essentials you simply can’t do without. When it needs to be fixed fast and done right, call an expert!

I"m diagnosing a problem with my hydraulics on my YM226D tractor. Both the lift arms in back and the front end loader are effected so its a system problem. Looks like no high pressure oil getting where it needs to be. I loosened the line at the pump and oil squirted out so I don"t think its the pump. I suspect the valve assembly under the seat but I don"t know how to test it. If anyone has any ideas? I"d appreciate it.

How did this problem start or did you get it this way? The pump might be making enough oil to squirt but not enough PSI to actually do anything. A few PSI will make a good mess but it might require hundreds of PSI to lift an empty loader. It could be a keyway sheared on the pump, for example. It will move oil until pressure builds up then the gear will just slip on the shaft.

A bit of work, especially the first time, so you might want to start by buying some documentation. If Hoye has an Operators Manual (came free with the new tractor), the one for the 226 is good. For the ultimate, order a factory Service Manual (a large 3-ring binder, I think around $80 if they have any). Then, if you get stuck, ask us.

I drained the oil and cleaned the screen filter. It didn"t look clogged. I"m thinking that maybe my first guess was right...the pump. Now I"m waiting for the manuals so I can better figure out what"s going on inside the transaxle housing, or whatever you call it. Right now its just a black box. Anyway, thanks for the help. I think by the time this is fixed, I"m going to have a much better understanding of the hydraulics.

"Both the lift arms in back and the front end loader are effected" Is there any history -- anything changed -- that might point to the problem? Those pumps are generally good for the life of the tractor.

The hydraulics just quit, both the primary lift arms and the auxiliary FEL. Not much warning. The only problem I have had prior is occasionally implements I was using on the 3 point hitch wouldn"t stay up if I let the control lever go. The lever would not stay in place. The lift arms would stay up as long as I held the lever up, but would drop when I let go of the lever. I would just tighten the friction nut but it always seemed strange. I had intended to look into it prior to this major failure.

By the way - I will obviously need to refill the system and I was wondering if I end up replacing the pump will I loose a lot of oil? Or is it high enough that I can replace it without much loss?

The hitch-height lever would always stay put. Then (with no change to anything in the hydraulics) it would self-lower unless held up. Then the front-and-rear hydraulics suddenly and totally quit but the PowerShift continued to operate normally. And the fluid was the correct type and quantity, and the internal filter was clean and the external was the correct one.

The hitch-height lever would always stay put. Then (with no change to anything in the hydraulics) it would self-lower unless held up. (Not that it matters but I couldn"t tell if you reported that tightening the nut-and-bolt on the metal arc would keep it up.)

Then the front-and-rear hydraulics suddenly and totally quit but the PowerShift continued to operate normally. And the fluid was the correct type and quantity, and the internal filter was clean and the external was the correct one.

After being away for a week, I returned, manual and a pressure gauge in hand. I refilled the reservoir with hydraulic fluid and fired up the diesel, hoping the cleaning of the screen filter and changing the paper filter would do the trick. At first nothing. However, while I was checking things out I noticed one line that had previously shown no pressure seemed to have a bit in it so I re-started the engine and let it run for a while. Low and behold pressure came up and the hydraulics work.

In retrospect, either the fluid was lower than I thought, or one of the filters was clogged. It could have been far worse. I now have a much better understanding of the hydraulic system and I have shop manuals to refer to for any future issues, I also realize I need to do a better job of maintenance on the tractor in the future.

The vast majority of subcompact, compact and larger compact utility tractors in the North America market are equipped with front end loaders. Many, if not most, come from the factory with the loader already installed.

When you look more closely at how tractor owners are putting front end loaders to work, you see that manufacturers are taking many steps to make the very popular front loader option more versatile and easier to use. Scooping stuff with the loader bucket is just not enough anymore. Tractor owners want pallet forks, bale spears, grapples and a host of other loader attachments.

To boost ease of use and versatility, manufacturers build loaders with quick attach systems making changing loader attachments fast and easy. With Yanmar tractor loaders, quick attach is standard on all Yanmar loaders. For the subcompact SA Series tractors, it is a Yanmar quick attach sized to the capabilities of the subcompact tractors. On the loaders for the larger YT2 and YT3 Series tractors, the loaders have an industry-standard, skid-steer style loader quick attach as standard equipment. That opens up the universe of loader attachments for skid-steers and tractors that all use the skid-steer style quick attachment. Some tractor brands use a proprietary quick attach design that does not allow “open – sourcing” your loader attachments.

If you’ll pardon the expression, let’s dig a little deeper into what is being done to make front end loaders more versatile and powerful tools. Loaders have long been about hydraulics to lift the loader and dump and return the bucket or other attachment. But when you move into the wider world of loader attachments, you find things like the increasingly popular grapples that need a 3rd function hydraulic circuit to operate the opening and closing of the grapple. Another 3rd function example would be attaching a hydraulic-turn snow blade to the loader. Still another example is using a 4-in-1 bucket that provides an attachment able to scoop, grapple and more in one attachment operated by the 3rd function hydraulic circuit. 3rd function circuits are usually an optional feature. They can be both factory installed and field installed by tractor dealers.

Because the universe of loader attachments is large and diverse, there are attachments that demand more than what 3rd function hydraulic circuits are designed to supply. Now we enter the world of “power – beyond” hydraulic systems. What is a front-end loader power beyond kit and how is it different from a 3rd function valve?

Power beyond kits let you use loader attachments that require high-flow hydraulics to power the attachment. Popular examples are snowblowers and rotary brooms for snow removal and grounds care work. On compact tractors, this is often accomplished by attaching an auxiliary hydraulic power unit to the 3-point hitch which is powered by the tractor’s rear power take off (PTO). The higher flow required to operate more demanding attachments like snowblowers or brooms is provided by this PTO-driven power pack that includes a hydraulic pump and hydraulic oil reservoir large enough to power a blower or broom through a long work day. The high hydraulic flow is routed through larger dedicated tubes and hoses to the front of the loader where it is delivered to the high flow attachment.

Equipping your tractor with a front power beyond kit makes the tractor even more versatile. Owners can quickly change from a hydraulic snowblower to a snow blade or back to the loader bucket. The loader stays on the tractor.

Snowblowers, brooms and other high-flow-required front attachments come in many sizes and specifications. Compare your loader lift capacity specifications, your hydraulic power pack specifications and the total attachment weight and flow requirements before you take the plunge on assigning your tractor and loader to run one of these tools. Your tractor dealer can help you make a correct match among tractor, power pack, loader and attachment.

Adding a power beyond kit to your tractor/loader package is different from another popular front attachment solution for subcompact and compact tractors. This other solution requires removing the loader arms and installing a front hitch specifically designed to operate blades, snowblowers and brooms. Front attachments on dedicated front hitch kits are a highly effective and affordable way to add from attachment versatility to your tractor but you have more steps to follow to switch between front attachments and using your loader.

Already today the tasks you can accomplish with a front-end loader have expanded far beyond scooping material with a bucket. New tractor and skid-steer loader attachment inventions appear every year. Selecting 3rd function and power beyond hydraulic kit options for your tractor and loader opens up all these possibilities.

Most hydraulic systems can operate using many different fluids, including multigrade engine oil, automatic transmission fluid and more conventional antiwear (AW) hydraulic oil. Which oil or fluid you choose depends on your equipment and how you plan to use it.

While it is not possible to make one definitive recommendation that covers all types of hydraulic equipment in all applications, there are a few key questions to ask yourself when selecting a hydraulic fluid.

Picking the right viscosity grade (sometimes referred to simply as the "hydraulic fluid grade") is the single most important factor when selecting a hydraulic oil or fluid. It doesn’t matter how good the other properties of the oil are if the viscosity grade is not matched to the operating temperature range of the hydraulic system where it will be used.

If the hydraulic system is required to operate in freezing temperatures in winter and tropical conditions in summer, then it will likely need multigrade oil to maintain viscosity within permissible limits across a wide operating temperature range.

If fluid viscosity can be maintained in the optimum range, typically 25 to 36 centistokes, the overall efficiency of the hydraulic system is maximized (less input power is given up to heat). This means that under certain conditions, the use of a multigrade can reduce the power consumption of the hydraulic system.

There are some concerns when using multigrade fluids in hydraulic systems. The viscosity index (VI) improvers used to make multigrade oils can have a negative effect on the air separation properties of the oil.1

This is not ideal, particularly in mobile hydraulic systems which have a small reservoir with poor deaeration characteristics. The high shear rates and turbulent flow conditions often present in hydraulic systems destroy the molecular bonds of the VI improvers over time, resulting in loss of viscosity.

When selecting a high VI or multigrade fluid, it is recommended that the hydraulic component manufacturers’ minimum permissible viscosity values (Table 1) be increased by 30 percent to compensate for VI improver sheardown. This adjustment reduces the maximum permissible operating temperature that would otherwise be allowable with the selected oil, thereby providing a margin of safety for viscosity loss through VI improver shearing.

If the hydraulic system has a narrow operating temperature range and it is possible to maintain optimum fluid viscosity using a monograde oil, it is recommended not to use a multigrade for the reasons stated above.

DIN 51524; HLP-D fluids are a class of antiwear hydraulic fluids that contain detergents and dispersants; the use of these fluids is approved by most major hydraulic component manufacturers. Detergent oils have the ability to emulsify water and disperse and suspend other contaminants such as varnish and sludge.

This keeps components free from deposits, but it also means that contaminants do not settle out — they must be filtered out. These can be desirable properties in mobile hydraulic systems, which, unlike industrial systems, have little opportunity for the settling and precipitation of contaminants at the reservoir, due to its small volume.

The purpose of antiwear additives is to maintain lubrication under boundary conditions. The most common antiwear additive used in engine and hydraulic oil is zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP).

The presence of ZDDP is not always seen as a positive because it can chemically break down and attack some metals and reduce filterability. Stabilized ZDDP chemistry has largely overcome these shortcomings, making it an essential additive to the fluid used in any high-pressure, high-performance hydraulic system, such as those fitted with piston pumps and motors.

There may be a warranty-related reason to follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations. However, in some applications, especially those with extremes of temperature or other unusual operating conditions, using something different than what the manufacturer recommends may increase hydraulic system performance and reliability.
