Systems and methods are provided for a demand-based hydraulic system. A clutch is positioned between a hydraulic pump and an engine. The clutch is selectively engaged to power the hydraulic pump based on a level of demand for hydraulic power. A control system is also provided to control the clutch and/or the pump in accordance with a plurality of operating mode.

Demand based hydraulic pump control system

A hydraulic system for a work vehicle includes a first pump with a first swashplate providing a first flow in a first circuit and a second pump with a second swashplate providing a second flow in a second circuit. A supplemental pump with a supplemental swashplate provides a supplemental flow to a supplemental circuit. A first valve selectively enables flow from the supplemental circuit to the first circuit. A second valve selectively enables flow from the supplemental circuit to the second circuit. A controller determines to operate the supplemental pump in one of a standby condition and a use condition based in part on a first angle of the first swashplate and a second angle of the second swashplate.

Flow management of a hydraulic system

A hydraulic system for a work vehicle includes a first pump providing a first flow in a first circuit having a first pressure. A first load sense circuit connected to a first load sensing compensator of the first pump. The first load sense circuit having a first load sense pressure. A supplemental pump provides a supplemental flow to a supplemental circuit having a supplemental pressure. A supplemental load sense circuit connected to a supplemental load sensing compensator of the supplemental pump. A first supplemental valve selectively enables flow from the first load sense circuit to the supplemental load circuit based in part on a first pressure differential between the first pressure and the first load sense pressure. A first valve selectively enables flow from the supplemental circuit to the first circuit when the supplemental pressure is equal to or greater than the first pressure.

A hydraulic system for a work vehicle includes a first pump providing a first flow to a first circuit. A first pressure sensor measures a first pressure in the first circuit. A first swashplate angle sensor measures a first angle of a first swashplate of the first pump. A supplemental pump provides a supplemental flow to a supplemental circuit. A supplemental pressure sensor measures a supplemental pressure in the supplemental circuit. A supplemental valve adjusts the load sense signal provided to a supplemental load sensing compensator of the supplemental pump. A first valve selectively enables flow from the supplemental circuit to the first circuit when the supplemental pressure is equal to or greater than the first pressure. A controller determines to operate the supplemental pump in one of a standby condition and a use condition based in part on the first angle of the first swashplate.

A vehicle hydraulic system includes a transmission lube circuit, a variable displacement main pump having an inlet, and a variable displacement charge pump having an outlet and a pressure responsive displacement control unit. The system also includes a charge line communicating the charge pump outlet with the main pump inlet, a sensing line communicating the charge line with the displacement control unit, and a lube line communicating the charge pump outlet with the lube circuit. The lube line includes a fluid restriction. A hydraulic oil filter and a filter bypass valve are connected in parallel between the outlet of the charge pump and the charge line.

Pressure and flow compensated hydraulic system

A transmission assembly for a work machine () includes a transmission () having a transmission housing (), a manifold housing () attached to the transmission housing (), and hydraulic pump () configured to be connected to the manifold housing ().

Transmission for a work machine with attached hydraulic fluid pump

A vehicle hydraulic system includes a lube circuit, a pump supplying hydraulic fluid from sump to first and a second hydraulic control circuits and a filter circuit. The filter circuit includes a first outlet connected to the lube circuit, a sump line, and a second outlet connected to the pump. A suction filter is connected between the sump line and second outlet. A return filter is connected to the first control circuit outlet. A return line having an orifice is connected between the return filter and the first outlet. A backpressure valve has a member, an outlet connected to the second outlet, and an inlet and pilot line connected to the return filter outlet. A pressure sense line has one end connected to the return line between the orifice and the first outlet, and a second end connected to the member in opposition to the pilot line.
