Abstract: A hydraulic system for a work vehicle includes a first pump providing a first flow to a first circuit. A first pressure sensor measures a first pressure in the first circuit. A first swashplate angle sensor measures a first angle of a first swashplate of the first pump. A supplemental pump provides a supplemental flow to a supplemental circuit. A supplemental pressure sensor measures a supplemental pressure in the supplemental circuit. A supplemental valve adjusts the load sense signal provided to a supplemental load sensing compensator of the supplemental pump. A first valve selectively enables flow from the supplemental circuit to the first circuit when the supplemental pressure is equal to or greater than the first pressure. A controller determines to operate the supplemental pump in one of a standby condition and a use condition based in part on the first angle of the first swashplate.

Abstract: A hydraulic system for a work vehicle includes a first pump providing a first flow in a first circuit having a first pressure. A first load sense circuit connected to a first load sensing compensator of the first pump. The first load sense circuit having a first load sense pressure. A supplemental pump provides a supplemental flow to a supplemental circuit having a supplemental pressure. A supplemental load sense circuit connected to a supplemental load sensing compensator of the supplemental pump. A first supplemental valve selectively enables flow from the first load sense circuit to the supplemental load circuit based in part on a first pressure differential between the first pressure and the first load sense pressure. A first valve selectively enables flow from the supplemental circuit to the first circuit when the supplemental pressure is equal to or greater than the first pressure.

Abstract: A hydraulic system for a work vehicle includes a first pump with a first swashplate providing a first flow in a first circuit and a second pump with a second swashplate providing a second flow in a second circuit. A supplemental pump with a supplemental swashplate provides a supplemental flow to a supplemental circuit. A first valve selectively enables flow from the supplemental circuit to the first circuit. A second valve selectively enables flow from the supplemental circuit to the second circuit. A controller determines to operate the supplemental pump in one of a standby condition and a use condition based in part on a first angle of the first swashplate and a second angle of the second swashplate.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a demand-based hydraulic system. A clutch is positioned between a hydraulic pump and an engine. The clutch is selectively engaged to power the hydraulic pump based on a level of demand for hydraulic power. A control system is also provided to control the clutch and/or the pump in accordance with a plurality of operating mode.

Abstract: A vehicle hydraulic system includes a transmission lube circuit, a variable displacement main pump having an inlet, and a variable displacement charge pump having an outlet and a pressure responsive displacement control unit. The system also includes a charge line communicating the charge pump outlet with the main pump inlet, a sensing line communicating the charge line with the displacement control unit, and a lube line communicating the charge pump outlet with the lube circuit. The lube line includes a fluid restriction. A hydraulic oil filter and a filter bypass valve are connected in parallel between the outlet of the charge pump and the charge line.

Abstract: A vehicle hydraulic system which has a component lube circuit, a pump supplying hydraulic fluid from a sump to a first and a second hydraulic control circuit includes a filter circuit. The filter circuit includes a first filter circuit outlet connected to a inlet of the lube circuit, a sump line connected to the sump, and a second filter circuit outlet connected to an inlet of the pump. A suction filter or screen is connected between the sump line and the second filter circuit outlet. A suction bypass filter or screen is connected in series with a suction bypass valve between the sump line and the second filter circuit outlet. A return filter or screen is connected to an outlet of the first control circuit. A return line is connected between the return filter and the first filter circuit outlet. A return bypass filter or screen is connected in series with a return bypass valve between an outlet of the first control circuit and the return line.

Abstract: A hydraulic filter assembly includes a housing mounted to a manifold which has a first inlet port, a second inlet port and an outlet port. The housing encloses a hollow outer filter element and a hollow inner filter element spaced apart from and received within the outer filter element. The housing and the outer filter element enclose an outer chamber therebetween, the outer filter element and the inner filter element enclose a middle chamber therebetween, and the inner filter element surround an inner chamber. The manifold has a first passage communicating the first inlet port to the inner chamber, a second passage communicating the second inlet port to the outer chamber, and a third passage communicating the middle chamber to the outlet port. As a result, fluid flows from the outer chamber to the middle chamber via the outer filter element and so that fluid flows from the inner chamber to the middle chamber via the inner filter element.

Abstract: A mobile products applicator includes a monitoring system particularly adaptable for use in selected product management applications, wherein application rates for selected products stored on-board one or more storage devices are measured on-the-go and visually reported to an applicator operator in near real-time. The mobile products applicator provides environmental advantages to all through enhanced resource management by eliminating or significantly reducing ground and/or water contamination.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of measuring and reporting a product application rate for a mobile product applicator. Machine parameter data, such as the speed of the applicator and a measurement of an amount of crop product applied by the mobile product applicator, is collected. Based on the collected machine parameter data, an application rate is determined. The application rate is displayed on a visual display device, such as a computer screen, on-the-go in near real time.
