SUSPENSION BOOST AIDS RIDE QUALITY
SUSPENSION BOOST AIDS RIDE QUALITY
IF formula one racing car driver David Coulthard had the suspension on his McLaren racing car adjusted like the system on the average family saloon, he would probably run off the track at the first bend. If the average saloon car had its suspension adjusted like that of a racing car, just a small bump would feel like running over a crater.
But in agriculture, where suspension plays a vital role in operating comfort and productivity, tractors have to work over every kind of surface, from asphalt roads to deep furrows in ploughed fields.
With that in mind an innovative system from the Same Deutz-Fahr Group is designed to ensure maximum shock-absorbing efficiency on all types of terrain.
Providing "active control" of the front axle suspension system, it gives Sames high horsepower Rubin range of tractors an extra dimension for smoothing out variations in ground conditions.
The active control feature is operated electronically via a special proportioning valve and automatically controls adjustment to changes in terrain, virtually second-by-second.
Braking action is also improved because the front end does not pitch forward, so giving better control of the vehicle.
New system improves shock-absorbing on Same Deutz Fahr Group tractors. Ride quality and braking action both improve as a result, says the manufacturer.
