Hydraulic mulipliers for tractors

Luke R · Jan 10, 2010

I have a sprayer that runs off of a hydraulic power take off, it also has a boom cylinder, individual boom cylinders, and this totals to 6 seperate hydraulic hoses. I would like to use this on a different tractor but I only have two S.C.V.s (remotes). Has anyone out there used a hydraulic multiplier to gain more outlets? I am not familiar with them but if I can, I would run a triple multiplier on one remote and then use the single remote for the pump. I have been checking out the Fasse systems with the electronic remote, but someone might know of a better supplier or option for me out there. Let me know if you can provide me with some information! Thanks.

What kind of tractor? If your tractor has power beyond hyd. you can add hyd. valves in series. This would be much cheaper than using a splitter. Armand

You could hit up a salvage yard and get Cessna valves from Gleaner, JD, Massey combines, as well as other machines. You can stack as many together as you want, just by getting long enough bolts to hold them together. Can find single or double acting. You need the input and end cap and as many "slices" as you want.

It can be done, Ford made a tractor that used one in fact. Be careful though because unlike a pump that looses power once the engine is shut off, the acumulator stores power, often enough to cyle a cylinder several times. Be safe

Like this? I put one on my tractor so I could operate two remote cylinders.

Do you plan to mount the multiplier on the sprayer and run two hoses to the tractor? If you use a valve off a combine make sure at least three of the valves in the bank are double acting. Jim

Brand of tractor and model? Piece of cake with a "Closed Center System.

I used a fasse on a 2610 Long for 9 years. Traded the tractor in and left the valve on it. Everything I have now has 2-3 sets on them.

The fasse worked great. Just have to remember to switch them on and off. Your application may be simple but I had one that required switching from one valve to the other until the spreader hopper was empty. Never had a problem with it. Very simple to install and operate. Just pricey.

I think the Gleaner valves will work as well as anything. You get them from a M to N7. Our local junker gets one every once in a while. they are the same as free there. You could mount them on the sprayer, then could use it on any tractor with two outlets. Talking about sprayers, the big farmers, here are going to self steering GPS. I picked up a used GPS unit for my Spraying tractor for $300 It has a bw screen but so what. It makes spraying so easy and counts acres etc.

If it is indeed a closed center hydraulic system.

Check out surplus center out of Lincoln, NE. They have a website

Just saw 1-2 splitter and a 1-3 splitter, both real reasonable. Think it would work fine for a sprayer

Hey, thanks everyone for the input. The wheels are turning now and you have provided me with some new ideas. I should have clarified a little on the tractor... I will be spraying with a 1971 JD 4320 with dual remotes and a closed-center system. Could I get more details on these combine valves? If I could mount something on the sprayer and cut down on hose hook-ups that would be great! Thanks for the surplus website too, those multipliers are way cheaper than the ones I priced! Any more detailed instructions would be great, I actually thought about an old backhoe pump and converting the hydraulic pump to a P.T.O powered pump...thought it would be too much trouble and I actually like the pump on the sprayer now. Sprayer is a Blumbhardt 750 if anyone else has one.

Jim, do you have more info in this method? I posted information at the bottom of this forum. I wouldn't mind getting more info on mounting the combine valves on the sprayer and only running two hoses to the tractor. Thanks!

Gleaner K, F, F2 have them- don"t know about the M,N, but M2 has electric/hyd. So does the F3. 45, 55 JD and I think the 00 series like 4400, 6600, etc. have the same as the Gleaner. Look for the triangular ends. Slices are either one or two way. Found the same Cessna units on Massey combine and swather. Don"t know if they are open or closed center. Put new "O" rings between the slices to seal them. My F2 has a bank of about 5 valves. You could get the entire bank of 5-6 from the M2, and use electric to control them. Key to it working is a good common ground- first solenoid has to open to feed the others. One wire system, ground is through the parts.

That 4320 should have enough hydraulic capacity that a pto pump is not required. Supply the fan from a "Power Beyond" tap and return the oil via a ported filter cover.
You can add as many closed center valves as you want.
