Massey Ferguson 7480, 7485 load sending hydraulic system - flowrate circuit
Massey Ferguson 7485, 7480 tractors are fitted with a closed centre hydraulic circuit with controlled pressure and flowrate.
Only tractors with a Powershift gearbox can be fitted, depending on
options, with a 150 l/min flowrate circuit.
It is composed of two separate high and low pressure circuits, supplied
by a variable displacement pump located on the external face of the
right-hand side cover.
This pump has a maximum output of 60 cm3 per revolution and is itself
fed by a 80 cm3 booster pump.
Both pumps are driven by a pinion fitted on the upper shaft of the PTO
located in the intermediate housing.
A “relay” pinion mounted on a bearing located on the internal side of
the cover, ensures the rotation of the driven pinion of the variable
displacement pump.
The MF 7480, 7485 booster pump fitted on the left-hand cover sucks oil
through a suction strainer to feed the common tank formed by the centre
housing, intermediate housing and gearbox.
The booster flowrate is then directed
towards the right-hand cover and passes through the main filter before
flowing towards the variable displacement pump and the oil manifold of
the centre housing to supply the following components:
- the trumpet housings
- the PTO clutch
- the hydraulic pump bearing
- the 4WD unit
- the handbrake mechanism
- the creeper unit (if fitted).
The variable displacement pump supplies one
or two priority blocks, depending on options, that are fitted on the
right-hand side cover:
- one block for MF 7485, 7480 tractors without hydraulic trailer braking
- two blocks for tractors with hydraulic trailer braking.
The first block supplies:
- its first priority, steering system
- its second priority, the 17 bar rear axle hydraulic circuit, the
auxiliary spool valves and the lift control valve.
- If a second block is fitted, it shares the first priority between the
steering circuit and the trailer braking.
Once the first priorities have been met, the remaining oil flow becomes
available to the auxiliary spool valves and the lift control valve.
All the pilot signals from the various high pressure valves are directed
to the priority block(s) to then be retransmitted to the variable
displacement pump controller.
The controller takes into account the pilot signal corresponding to the
function requiring the highest pressure.
