Tractor Hydraulic Filters
Tractor Hydraulic filters will remove external contaminants, such as dust and dirt, that make their way into the hydraulic circuit. Hydraulic filters are most often classified by where they are designed to be placed in a hydraulic system.
Oil is the most important component of any hydraulic system, and thus filtered over time. So, oil filter maintenance starts with knowing when to change the filter. Regardless of how effective a filter is, it will have to be replaced at some point. A rule of thumb operators can follow is to change the filters every time the vehicle’s oil is changed to ensure peak operational efficiency.
Oil service intervals, pre-determined by engine manufacturers, are designed to provide maximum engine protection under a wide variety of guidelines. However, many equipment owners are looking to extend oil service interval time.
Oil filters alone cannot protect engines against harmful contaminants, such as dirt and dust. Operators should manage their oil filters correctly to ensure that the engine is safe from contaminants, which not only extends engine life and reduces engine wear, but also reduces downtime and operating costs.
Extending oil drain intervals not only requires the right filter, but the right plan. Any decision to extend oil drain intervals must be based on oil analysis and adherence to OEM criteria for acceptable oil-operating properties. Some fleet managers are using online calculators to help them understand current maintenance costs associated with oil changes.
Tractor Hydraulic filters will remove external contaminants, such as dust and dirt, that make their way into the hydraulic circuit…but, remember not all tractor hydraulic filters are created equal…
Understanding your filter’s capabilities is critical to fully protecting your engine. Through the right choice of filter media, Cummins Filtration brand hydraulic filtration products achieve higher efficiency and dust capacity with lower pressure-drop characteristics than the competition. This prolongs component life, which saves you money in the long run.
The proper oil-cleanliness level for critical clearances on components in the hydraulic fluid stream is the key. Fleetguard state-of-the-art facilities enable them to perform multi-pass, pressure-drop, flow-fatigue and hydrostatic burst testing.
