  Hydraulics

Mechanical or electronically controlled ancillary hydraulics can be specified as required, and control is straightforward and logical. Long hydraulic oil change intervals save time and costs. The T Series allows for the optional use of Valtra-approved biooils.
 
     
  Auxiliary hydraulic controls on Classic and Hitech models
In Classic and HiTech models, the auxiliary hydraulics are controlled
by levers located on the right hand panel. Oil output is 73 litres
per minute. Three valves come as standard with a fourth as an option. The armrest pictured here features a joystick for controlling the front loader.
 
     
  Valtra Autocontrol
Operating Valtra’s electronically controlled Autocontrol linkage is easy,
and all operations can be carried out from inside the cab. The switches
and buttons for Classic and HiTech models are located in the side panel, while for Advance models they are located in the driver’s armrest. Drive Balance Control comes as standard with the linkage. Autocontrol combined with wheel slip control is standard on the Advance T151e-T191 models and optional on Classic and HiTech models.

Note: Autocontrol D (ACD) is similar to Autocontrol B (ACB) but also includes slip control by radar.
 

   
     
   
    1. Autocontrol lift and lower switch
2. Position of lower links, including a float position
3. Dump switch. Temporary position control override
4. Linkage lift with raise, lower and neutral
5. Control of speed of lowering the links
6. Control of maximum height of links
7. Control for position control and draft control
8. Drive Balance Control
9. Slip Control ACD on/off
 
  Drive balance control
Drive Balance Control is a standard feature of Autocontrol. When engaged, this system works like a shock absorber when carrying heavy implements on the linkage over uneven ground. The system senses the variations in dynamic loading and automatically makes corrections to even out the bumps.

Drive Balance Control operates only in the transport position. The system begins to work when the factory adjusted 8 km/h limit is exceeded. The limit is adjustable in Autocontrol ACD; in ACB the function starts as soon as the tractor is moving.

Benefits:

• Driving the tractor is more even and stable
• Improves the ground contact of front wheels for safer steering
• Reduces high stress loads imposed by heavy implements in transport
     
  Hydraulic controls on Advance models
The ancillary hydraulics on Advance models are controlled conveniently and efficiently using the joystick and push buttons located on the new ergonomic armrest. The joystick can also be used to control the front loader. Due to the proportional joystick control and electronically controlled hydraulic valves, tractor and implement functions can be adjusted with extreme precision.

The maximum capacity of the hydraulics is extremely high: 115 l/min (@200 bar), which can be programmed according to flow and timing.

 

  The load-sensing hydraulics on Advance models meet all the requirements of the latest implements and implement combinations. The 100% electronic control of the ancillary hydraulics is a feature unique to Valtra.

Ancillary hydraulics valves:
• Standard 2 and one on/off valve
• Optional 2 or 3 ancillary hydraulics valves to the rear, plus one on/off valve.
• 2 or 3 valves available to the front (customer can choose)
• Maximum number of valves to the rear is 5 + 2 on/off valves, and to the front 3 valves for using a front loader or linkage.

The standard on-off valve is used via the quick couplings, and the optional on/off valve is piped directly to the implement.

The load sensing system allows the valve to supply only the amount of oil demanded by the implement leaving the remaining fluid to be used by other valves or the linkage. This allows for simultaneous operation of valves and linkage as required by the latest modern implements. All valves feature a float position to work with implements that follow the ground contours.

To ensure the highest possible output for implements, a Power Beyond connection can be fitted to the system at the rear.
 

New armrest
The joystick on the driver’s armrest is used for controlling valves 1 and 2 of the ancillary hydraulics and may also be used to operate the front loader or linkage. Most of the ancillary hydraulic system can be activated using the armrest’s joystick, switches and buttons. The linear switches in the armrest are used to control valves 3, 4 and 5, as well as the third valve in the front.

The ancillary hydraulics selection switch is conveniently situated in the armrest:

1. Flow adjusted for small output
2. Flow adjusted for medium output
3. Flow adjusted for high output
4. Operator Adjustable - 3 memory places (M1, M2, M3)

     
  U-Pilot
Valtra’s U-Pilot Headland Management System significantly reduces the amount of work needed to turn around repeatedly in the headland. This helps to keep the driver more alert and makes turning around faster. The system also reduces the risk of human error when managing so many functions. The Off/On/Rec switch is situated in the B pillar, while the Start/Stop switch is in the driver’s armrest. The display is in the instrument cluster.

Tractor operations controlled by U-Pilot:

• three-point linkage
• two ancillary hydraulics valves (3 and 4)
• 4WD
• differential lock
• PTO (front/rear)
• cruise control
• Powershift
• DIN electrical connectors

A pause can also be programmed into the system. When storing the programme, the distance travelled by the tractor is registered, according to which the operations are timed.
