Why should hydraulic systems be lowered when the tractor stops?

13.02.2024

Hydraulic systems in tractors are typically used for lifting and carrying out various tasks. While the tractor is in operation, the hydraulic system is usually active to perform lifting functions. However, when the tractor stops or the engine is shut off, hydraulic systems often automatically lower.

There can be several reasons for this.

1.Safety: The automatic lowering of hydraulic systems helps reduce the risk of accidentally dropping equipment or loads while the tractor is in motion. This serves as a safety measure for people and equipment in the vicinity.

2.Energy Efficiency: Lowering hydraulic systems when the tractor is parked contributes to energy savings. When a system that requires power is deactivated while idle, power consumption decreases.

3.Extended Lifespan: Continuous exposure to loads can cause excessive fatigue in hydraulic systems. Lowering hydraulic systems when the tractor is parked can extend the lifespan of parts and hydraulic fluid.

For these reasons, it is a common practice for hydraulic systems to automatically lower when the tractor is stopped. However, it is important to check the user manual for precise information on how this feature operates in your specific tractor.
