MF 6280, 6290, 5435, 5440 tractor hydraulic system - Open centre

Massey Ferguson 5400, 6200 series tractors open centre hydraulic system (57 l/min) comprises two separate systems.

These two systems are supplied by a two-stage gear pump fitted on the internal face of the right-hand hydraulic cover plate. The pump sucks transmission oil from the common tank formed by the centre housing and the gearbox through a 150 micron filter, also fitted on the right-hand coverplate.

A 15 micron main filter and a blockage indicator are fitted to the low flow rate system upstream of the Orbitrol steering spool valve. The hydraulic pump is driven by the ring gear of the PTO clutch unit.

Low-pressure system, low flow rate

The first stage of the pump supplies the Massey Ferguson 6280, 6290 hydrostatic steering where pressure can reach 170 bar.

Hydraulic flow

After supplying the Orbitrol steering spool valve as required, the oil is directed to the left-hand cover plate attached to the centre housing. This cover plate performs several low-pressure functions.

It ensures:

- operating pressure for the transmission components via a 17 bar valve fitted downstream from the Orbitrol unit;
- cooling and lubrication of the gearbox and connected components,
- pressure for the brake master cylinders (excluding MERITOR master cylinders).

MF 5435, 5440 transmission components

The 17-bar system supplies, in parallel, the various transmission functions via solenoid valves flanged on the reverse shuttle clutch unit, on the Speedshift control and in the main channel of the right-hand cover plate.

None of these functions has priority and they may be activated simultaneously. Some of the solenoid valves (4WD, power take-off, Speedshift and reverse shuttle (proportional solenoid valves)) are linked to the tractor's electronic system.

The functions supplied by the low flow rate system are as follows:

- the hydrostatic steering,
- the Hare / Tortoise range shifting (Hi / Lo),
- the differential lock (front and rear),
- the 4WD clutch,
- the Speedshift,
- The clutch control valve,
- the clutch unit of the reverse shuttle,
- the power take-off system,
- clutch,
- brake,
- front PTO (depending on option).

Cooling and lubrication

When the various components of the transmission are supplied, the left-hand cover plate directs oil towards the cooler when it is hot, or directly towards to the gearbox and PTO when it is cold.

The lubrication pressure is maintained by a valve set to 1.5 bar and fitted on the front left-hand side of the gearbox.

Pressure for brake master cylinder - Only unassisted master cylinders receive pressure from the hose connected upstream to the 1.5 bar valve.

Massey Ferguson 5435, 5440 High-pressure hydraulic system, high flow rate

The second stage of the pump supplies, in the following order:

- the trailer brake spool valve, which is priority (if fitted);
- the auxiliary spool valves;
- the linkage valve.

The oil not used by the trailer brake spool valve supplies the auxiliary spool valves fitted to the rear of the linkage cover plate.

Starting at the auxiliary spool valves, a line supplies the linkage spool valve located on the left-hand side cover plate.

The excess flow rate from the spool valves returns to the pump suction manifold via a restrictor (16) without passing through the 150 micron filter.

A safety valve, set to 200 bar, is fitted in the discharge channel on the right-hand cover plate to protect the high pressure system.
