In this guide, we’ll simplify the essentials of hydraulic hoses and highlight their benefits, making it easier for sales reps to grasp and communicate the advantages of our products. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of the key products we offer and how they can help your clients achieve better performance and lower maintenance costs. Let's dive in.

Tillage Fold Cylinder Circuit

The tillage fold cylinder circuit folds the tillage machine for transportation and storage. This circuit ensures that the machine can be compactly and safely transported from one field to another and stored without taking up excessive space. Efficient and reliable hydraulic hoses are crucial in this circuit to maintain smooth and hassle-free folding operations.

Tillage Lift Cylinder Circuit

The tillage lift cylinder circuit controls the raising and lowering of the tillage machine's implements. This circuit is essential for adjusting the depth of the tilling operation to match soil conditions and achieve optimal soil preparation. Reliable hydraulic hoses in this circuit ensure precise control, enhancing the machine's performance and the quality of the tillage work.

These circuits utilize the following hoses:

Weatherhead H280 Hose

Features and Benefits:

• 300,000 Qualified Impulse Cycles: This means the hose has been tested to withstand 300,000 pressure surges, ensuring durability and reliability.
• Lower Maintenance Spending: Fewer replacements and repairs translate to cost savings.
• 35% Greater Flexibility: Faster, easier, and more cost-efficient installation.
• 26% Wider Temperature Range: Operates from -46°C to 126°C (-50°F to 250°F), making it versatile for various environments.
• 43% Better Bend Radius on Average Than Standard: More adaptable to tight spaces.
• Eight Times Better Abrasion Resistance: Equipped with a Dura-Tuff? cover for longer life.
• Class 0 Leakage (SAEJ1176): Achieves zero leakage when paired with Danfoss 1A series fittings.

Weatherhead H180 Hose

Features and Benefits:

• One Million Qualified Impulse Cycles: High durability for demanding conditions.
• 14% Higher Pressure Ratings: Handles higher pressures with ease.
• 26% wider temperature ranges and 33% Better Bend Radius Than EN857 Type 1SC Specification:?more adaptable and reliable.
• Eight Times Better Abrasion Resistance: Dura-Tuff? cover or 700 times better with heavy-duty Bruiser? cover.
• Class 0 Leakage (SAEJ1176): Zero leakage when paired with Danfoss 1A series fittings.

Substitute Hoses

For clients seeking cost-effective alternatives, the following substitutes are available:

• Winner EC215: Can replace the H280, ensuring it meets pressure ratings and standards requirements.
• Winner EC115: Can replace the H180, maintaining the necessary performance and reliability.

Rear implement hitch

Quick disconnect couplings, such as the Danfoss Hansen flat face (FF) quick disconnect couplings, offer several key benefits that are crucial for efficient tillage operations:

• High-Pressure Handling: These couplings are designed to handle higher pressures, making them suitable for demanding hydraulic applications.
• No-Spill Design and Connect-Under-Pressure: These features minimize hydraulic fluid loss and contamination, ensuring cleaner and more efficient operations.
• Corrosion Resistance: The couplings are built to resist corrosion, enhancing their durability and longevity.
• Performance at Higher Pressures: When Danfoss quick disconnects are assembled with original Weatherhead hoses, fittings, and adapters, the complete assembly can perform at 50% greater operating pressure above SAE standards compared to other manufacturers.

Conclusion

This brief overview highlights the critical circuits in a tillage machine and how our hydraulic hoses ensure their optimal performance. For sales reps new to hydraulics, focusing on these core products will help you better serve your clients by providing solutions that enhance efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Understanding these essentials will empower you to communicate the benefits effectively and help your clients achieve better results with their tillage machines.
