pto hydraulic pump for planter manufacturer

It mounts easily to any planter and, depending which pump size is purchased, will provide an extra 12 gpm to 40 gpm as well as 4 to 6 additional ports.

Many producers wanting to upgrade or upsize their air seeders discover they are lacking hydraulic capacity on their current tractor, and don’t have room in their machinery budget to upgrade their tractor.

One solution is the Command HydraBoost PTO-driven auxiliary hydraulic system, these can operate a portion of the hydraulic flow requirement, allowing producers to continue using their favourite tractor! These units come in several sizes, the larger sizes - 24gpm, 32 gpm & 40 gpm are used in combination with air seeders.

Our PTO Auxiliary Hydraulic System is used for any type of agricultural equipment when an application or piece of equipment requires more hydraulic oil flow than the tractor/equipment can provide. Out most typical application is for Air Seeders (planters) when Ag Tractor Hydraulic systems don"t meet the flow, pressure or cooling requirements for proper operation of equipment. DFP"s PTO Auxiliary Hydraulic Systems are completely customizable to fit your specific application.

Note: Each application requires a completely custom system built to your application needs. This isn"t an off the shelf kit where one size fits all. Pricing will vary depending on application needs. Please contact your local DFP for more information.

Hydraulic reservoir is typically 25 gallons, but capacity is flexible to meet any application requirements as these systems are built to order. Also included is a Spin-on Return Filter and an Oil Cooler (12VDC) with Temp. Switch mounted and plumbed to Hydraulic Reservoir (tank). (end user to supply power to 12VDC Fan on cooler) Other options for the hydraulic reservoir, but are not limited to: Relief Valve Block, Pressure and Tank Manifolds, Hydraulic Directional Control Valves and Flow Controls. DFP"s PTO Auxiliary Hydraulic Systems are completely customizable to fit your specific application.

Anybody ever put a PTO driven hydraulic pump on their planting outfit to compensate for lack of tractor hydraulics. I am nervous as to how much hydraulic capacity a new vacuum planter with central fill and variable rate is going to take. I see Rowe manufacturing makes a kit for this. Was thinking this might be a better route than pushing tractor to its limits. Would be on a 24 row CCS planter.

�����HydraBoost is a closed center, pressure compensating system powered by a pto,� says Dan Symington, Command Hydraulics. �We can produce the higher pressure needed for down pressure and for other precision planting equipment, as well as for vacuum fans and more.�

����The company suggests that HydraBoost works with every tractor/planter combination on the market. It is available in multiple sizes, from 12 gpm to 40 gpm, and can be equipped with either 4 or 6 additional ports. Reservoir capacity ranges from 15 to 25 gal., depending on pump size. The kit also includes Command Hydraulics� PumpDoctor, designed initially for use with Case IH and Kinze planters.

�����PumpDoctor is an integral part of HydraBoost,� says Symington. �We also sell it by itself for use with other pto-powered hydraulic pumps. Anytime you put a pump directly on the pto, you tend to get vibration. Our double chain connection PumpDoctor cushions it.�

����The PumpDoctor is a support bracket that secures any pto pump directly to any tractor frame via a mounting plate. Without such a bracket, the pump hangs on the pto shaft. The weight causes excess vibration, shaft strain and warping or breakage. The PumpDoctor is available in 3 models for 16, 18 and 12-tooth sprockets.

����The tractor mounting plate is designed to match the exact bolt pattern for specific tractor models, ensuring a secure and tight fit. The PumpDoctor kit also includes sprockets, chain and hardware for mounting.

You"d really need to get down to the flow/pressure specs needed for your planter and compare them to the IH planter"s you"re looking at robbing if you go that route. They"d need to be within the same range.

I guess the question I"d be asking or wondering about is why you wouldn"t just run it off the SCV"s on a new tractor if you"re doing that now. Most 1/2" valves flow about 16 GPM per pair. The Ford shouldn"t have any problem doing that if the planter is using most of it"s flow. The problem you get into on the open center Ford"s is when you try to choke them down and they have to dump a significant portion of their pump flow at pressure across the unloading valve...

You might also want to double check and see if the 7740 isn"t a CCLS tractor to start with... Many, if not most around here were. If it"s an "SLE" with the 16x16 transmission, or even a 24x24, it should be CCLS. A 12x12 or the 8x2 would be open center. Those are "SL" and "S" models. The "SLE" will have no problem doing what you want in running the planter on the SCV.

Another option I"d look at would be PTO driving the fan. The planter I use is set up like that and just geared to run the tractor at mid-speed on the PTO. Something to think about...
