Can I hydraulically drive the diaphragm pump?
Goldacres Crop Cruisers are fitted with hydraulic drive diaphragm pumps.
Trailed Sprayers: Hydraulically driven pumps are becoming more common as tractors come out with more hydraulic outlets. Fitting a hydraulic drive to the pump eliminates any maintenance or safety issues that are often associated with PTO shaft drives. The UDOR diaphragm pumps fitted to Goldacres sprayers do not require a coupling between the hydraulic motor and pump. The MI pump is fitted with a flange which will accept this motor shaft. A hydraulic drive is required for tractors fitted with 1000rpm PTO drives. Standard diaphragm pump RPM is 540.
