Understand how pumps, pressure, flow, valves, cylinders, and couplers work together on a tractor.
The pump creates flow, resistance creates pressure, valves direct oil, and cylinders convert that hydraulic energy into motion. An attachment must stay within the tractor’s pressure, flow, and connection requirements.
What matters most
The pump creates flow, resistance creates pressure, valves direct oil, and cylinders convert that hydraulic energy into motion. An attachment must stay within the tractor’s pressure, flow, and connection requirements.
Key considerations
- Pump output and system flow
- Relief pressure
- Third-function availability
- Coupler and hose compatibility
- Cylinder speed and force
Put it to work
Cycle a new attachment slowly, check for leaks or interference, and route hoses with enough movement for full curl and lift without exposing them to pinch points.
The ANBO approach
ANBO verifies the tractor, loader, hydraulic circuit, and attachment geometry so the complete setup works together.
