Hydraulic Kits For Farm Trucks TRUCKS Accessories The folks who make DewEze big bale beds make customizing hydraulics on work trucks easy DewEze clutch pump kits produce hydraulic power independent of the transmission “We use the same clutch pump kits to power our bale beds but they can be used for other purposes ” says Mike Reber Harper Industries Inc “We can pair up the clutch pump and valve tank to power dump bodies and augers or other hydraulic-powered options you might have ” “The right hydraulic system depends on the truck engine not the application ” says Jessica Reber Harper Industries Inc “We have clutch pump kits for 3/4 1-ton and super-duty trucks going back to 1973 and are adding more all the time We recently released a clutch pump kit for new medium duty Chevy and International trucks ” The clutch pump kits starting at about $1 400 are simple add-ons with a bracket and belt and any other parts needed In the case of an installation on a 2016 Chevy 6 2 gas engine simply remove the alternator and belt Mount the cast bracket and reinstall the alternator Mount the pump to the bracket and install the new belt The machined cast brackets ensure easy installation and belt alignment From that point on live hydraulics are available on-the-go with the flip of a switch Jessica notes that with newer trucks space under the hood can be at a premium Models that have gone to double alternators offer another challenge In those cases she recommends the company’s Electric/Hydraulic E/H power packs Starting at around $1 100 they are designed to serve as a main power source or back up for alternative hydraulic applications The simple-to-install systems come with a complete cable package and a self-cooling fan on the motor They require minimal modifications Jessica stresses that E/H motors need to be designed for the intended use “When it comes to farm and ranch needs I wouldn’t recommend a standard E/H ” says Jessica “Clearing a field of hay bales would probably burn up the motor With our Hybrid HD Pressure unit we cleared a Kansas field of 709 big bales in a little over 3 hrs in hot weather with no problem ” While most clutch pump kits are plumbed into existing hydraulic systems if a valve tank is needed DewEze has the answer Their VT Series provides a multifunctional power source for a wide variety of uses Control can be customized with a choice of manual cables electrical switch panel electrical joystick or wireless remote VT Series packages include hoses valves filter strainers temperature gauge and sight glass in a self-contained reservoir unit The valve tanks are pre-plumbed with single-wire braid hoses connected to all valve components for faster installation Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Harper Industries Inc 151 E U S Hwy 160 Harper Kan 67058 ph 620 896-7381; toll free 800 835-1042; www deweze com
