Agricultural Hydraulics for Farm Equipment

Hydraulic Supply Company stocks the hoses, cylinders, fittings, and pumps that keep tractors, combines, balers, and sprayers working through planting and harvest.

Agricultural Hydraulics

Hydraulic Supply Company stocks hoses, cylinders, fittings, pumps, and valves for every major category of farm equipment, including tractors, combines, balers, sprayers, and skid steer loaders. Our inventory covers standard and high-pressure hydraulic hose for SAE 100R1, 100R2, and 100R17 applications, agricultural hydraulic cylinders from 2-inch to 8-inch bore, and fittings in JIC, ORFS, NPT, and SAE flange styles. We also stock hydraulic components for agriculture from Eaton and other leading manufacturers.

Every HSC branch is a certified Danfoss Aeroquip Hose Center. Custom hose assemblies are fabricated on-site, the same day, to your exact length and fitting configuration. If a hose blows during planting or harvest, we stock hydraulic hoses for farm equipment and can have a replacement ready before you lose the day.

Hydraulic Hoses for Farm Equipment

Hydraulic Hoses for Tractors and Farm Machinery

Farm equipment hydraulic systems run at working pressures from 2,000 to 4,000 PSI, with spikes above 5,000 PSI common on newer precision ag platforms. HSC carries SAE 100R1, 100R2, 100R4, 100R16, and 100R17 hoses in bulk and as finished assemblies. All hoses are compatible with standard petroleum-based and biodegradable hydraulic fluids used in agricultural equipment.

Every HSC branch can fabricate a custom hose assembly to your exact length, fitting type, and pressure rating while you wait. No minimum order. For help matching the right hose to your machine, see our guide to farm equipment hydraulic hose selection.

Common Applications

Hydraulic Fittings and Adapters

Hydraulic Fittings and Adapters for Farm Use

Agricultural hydraulic systems use a mix of fitting standards depending on the equipment manufacturer and model year. HSC carries JIC (37-degree flare), ORFS (O-ring face seal), NPT, BSPT, and SAE flange fittings, plus the full range of adapter combinations to interface them.

Fitting materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, and brass. All fittings are compatible with SAE-rated hose assemblies and available at the branch counter with no minimum order.

Common Applications

John Deere ORFS connections on post-1990 equipment
Case IH JIC connections on older row crop tractors
New Holland ORFS and SAE flange remote connections
AGCO/Fendt metric fittings requiring SAE adapters
Kubota BSP connections on compact utility tractors

Hydraulic Pumps for Agricultural Applications

Hydraulic Pumps for Agricultural Applications

Gear pumps and piston pumps are the most common pump types in agricultural hydraulic systems. HSC stocks fixed-displacement gear pumps for open-center systems and variable-displacement piston pumps for load-sensing applications on modern tractors.

Replacement pumps are available for common PTO and engine-driven configurations. Dump pumps are also stocked for grain cart and trailer hydraulic circuits.

Common Applications

Open-center gear pump replacement on older utility tractors
Load-sensing piston pump service on modern row crop tractors
PTO-driven gear pumps for grain carts and augers
Dump pump replacement on grain trailers and dump wagons
Hydrostatic pump service on zero-turn mowers and compact equipment

Frequently Asked Questions: Agricultural Hydraulics

What hydraulic hose do I need for a tractor?

Most tractors use SAE 100R1 or SAE 100R2 hydraulic hose for standard circuits operating between 2,000 and 3,500 PSI. High-pressure circuits on modern tractors with load-sensing systems may require SAE 100R17 or 100R16. To match correctly, you need the hose inside diameter, the working pressure of the circuit, and the fitting type on both ends. Bring your old assembly to any HSC branch and we can match it or fabricate a replacement the same day.

How do I find the right hydraulic cylinder for my farm equipment?

Identify the bore size, rod diameter, stroke length, and mounting style (clevis, flange, or cross tube). These four dimensions narrow the selection to compatible replacements. HSC stocks cylinders in bore sizes from 1.5 inches to 8 inches with standard stroke lengths. Contact a branch for fabrication options if your application requires a custom stroke.

What fitting type does John Deere use on hydraulic hoses?

John Deere uses ORFS (O-ring face seal) fittings on most equipment produced after 1990. Older John Deere equipment may use JIC (37-degree flare) fittings. Some remote auxiliary connections use SAE flange fittings rated at 3,000 or 6,000 PSI. HSC carries all three fitting types and the adapters needed to transition between them.

Can I get a hydraulic hose made the same day?

Yes. Every HSC branch is a certified Danfoss Aeroquip Hose Center with on-site crimping equipment. Bring your old hose assembly or provide the hose ID, length, fitting type, and working pressure. We fabricate replacement assemblies in most cases while you wait, with no minimum order.

What hydraulic oil should I use in my tractor?

Most tractors require either a universal tractor transmission fluid (UTF) or a fluid meeting the OEM specification. Common specifications include John Deere J20C/J20D, Case MS-1207, and New Holland FNHA-2-C-201. Always check your operator manual before adding fluid. Using the wrong hydraulic oil can damage pump seals and void warranties. HSC carries hydraulic fluids in OEM-compatible specifications.
