INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT FOR TRANSPORT AND PTO POWERNOTE:
Intelligent Power Management is basic equipment on wheel tractors and available as an option or downloadedthrough software as a field installed option for track tractors equipped with Tier 3/Stage IIIA engines. IntelligentPower Management is not available for Tier 2/Stage II engines.
Intelligent Power Management is used for many typical farming operations that use high-power rear PTO andtransport applications. Customers who are looking for increased power in non-stationary PTO and transportapplications will be interested in the Intelligent Power Management feature.
In high-power rear PTO applications such as forage harvesters, rototillers and beet or potato harvesting equipment orwhere heavy trailers, carts or implements are frequently transported, this feature will provide significant additionalcapabilities. This solution will improve productivity with more consistent ground speeds, quicker acceleration andthe ability to maintain desired transport speeds.
Ordering instructions
Intelligent Power Management can be ordered through Parts (JDPoint). Reference the online field installationinstructions or DTAC Solution 72076 for more information.

AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC COUPLERS FOR MOTOR RETURN, SUMP AND POWER BEYONDEasy connection of implements
Attaching implement hydraulic hoses to locations on the tractor other than into an SCV has always been a challengeto know what kits are required for compatibility. Getting them installed in a timely manner can at times be confusingand time-consuming.
To assist in making connections to large seeding, spreading and other equipment where multiple connections arerequired, there are now factory installed auxiliary hydraulic couplers on wheel tractors.
Auxiliary sump coupler
For applications requiring low return oil back pressure 68 kPa (10 psi) or less, the sump coupler kit allows oil toreturn directly to reservoir (differential case) from hydraulic motor, bypassing the remote coupler and SCV. Whenconnecting motor case or seal return hose to coupler, make sure the hose end and coupler are clean.
Hydraulic motor return couplers
The hydraulic motor return couplers can be used as a coupler for return oil flow, from hydraulic orbital motors andother devices, to the tractor's low-pressure return port, labelled "R" on the tractor.
Use of this connector specifically in the return to sump port position is for hydraulic components that require a"leak-off line" connection to the tractor. Components and implements that require this typically are larger orbitalmotors that require a drain for seal protection. The connector in the sump port is not to be used to carry return flowfrom a function to the tractor.
Power beyond couplers
Power beyond provides live hydraulic power to equipment. This kit supplies oil pressure to implements when theengine is running.
Any implement using power beyond must have a way to control oil flow. Use an independent control valve that ispressure and flow compensating (supplied separately) to control the oil flow rate from this coupler set.
The auxiliary hydraulic optional equipment includes the following:
A - Load sense coupler
B and C - Power beyond couplers - pressure (B) and return (C)
C - Hydraulic motor return couplers
D - Auxiliary sump coupler, flat face coupler for motor case drains used in planters and seeders
Note: For 8R and 8RT Series Tractors configured with 3 SCVs, a low standby pressure kit may be needed whenoperating planters with variable rate drive requiring 4 SCVs.
