Compact Utility Tractor

Thank you Kennyd!!


Back to way OC is used...
As I said earlier....a CUT sold new for X$$$, cant justify a 10-20 higher price with a more advanced hydraulic system that cant be paid off in more/better efficiancy....
But some smaller service systems that dont take a lot of energy are made CC with a fixed pump.....example for lubrication, servo systems for shifting automatic transmissions...etc..

Thank you to everyone for your valuable information.

I'm new to tractors and new to working on hydraulics, even though I've run heavy equipment for 25 years.

The 30 year old 68 HP (50 HP PTO) tractor I recently bought and am working on has a CC/CP hydraulic system. The backhoes and trackhoes I've used seem to be also.

As I've read on here over the last month, it seems as though nearly all the equipment on the forum have OC/CF hydraulic systems. I have been trying to figure out the reasoning for this. It would appear that it is a simple matter or economics, but helps me to understand the world of tractors which I am becomming a part of a little better.

Thank you again for all the info!

Cyril,

Yes it is a matter of economics, a good example would be to look at the Sunstrand 8 piston variable volume pump diagrams and compare it to a two section gear pump. Lots more machining and small parts in the piston pump.

The 2240 when new was offered with either a power reverser or hi low options. Do you have either of these options on yours?

Just independent PTO, MFWD, and FEL. No Hi/Low or Reverser. It didn't even come with any rear remotes. I'll add those myself later. The only major problem it has is that it appears to have had steering damage and had the power steering housing replaced with a used unit with very extensive wear (the rest of the tractor only shows minor wear). I'm in the process of completely rebuilding the power steering housing.

I have a massey ferguson 2135 and thought it was a closed system. Someone said it is an open system because it has power beyond. Do the cylinders hold in place when in nuetral because only the inlet is open to power beyond or resevior when in nuetral? May I have a LS system?

Double checking me? Good-I need it sometimes.

The type of system , OC or CC has no effect on cylinders holding when the valve is in neutral, that is done by the spool design inside the valve. Valve's will say "work ports blocked in neutral", or Open Center, Tandem Center (what we really want-But Open Center has become the norm...) or the like.
