How Custom Power Steering Lines Can Improve Agricultural Vehicles

Power steering lines have been commonplace for all types of vehicles since the 1970s. While stock power steering lines will get the job done, custom power steering lines offer improved quality and usability for agricultural vehicles and equipment. RB Royal highlights specific advantages of using custom power steering lines.

Where Custom Power Steering Lines Improve Performance

Performance is the number one priority for farmers and other skilled workers in the agricultural industry as it relates to their vehicles and equipment. When vehicles are equipped with custom power steering lines, the performance improvements are noticeable from the get-go.

• Custom power steering lines offer improved steering feel and better equipment control, as they can be built with specific internal diameters and smooth bores, optimizing hydraulic flow and performance. This ultimately corrects steering responses and helps reduce power loss throughout the vehicle.
• Power steering lines are better engineered to handle higher pressures in larger-than-normal steering loads.

Specifically in farming applications, custom power steering lines can introduce improved performance in two key ways:

• Lines are built to handle exposure to dust, mud, and vibration. Because of this, the risk of chafing, cracking, and any external damage is minimized.
• Material selection is part of the custom equation during the design and engineering process. With improved materials compared to stock lines, custom lines offer better resistance to high heat, better oil compatibility, and stronger outer covers.

Reduced Downtime and Maintenance

While other components of agricultural vehicles require regular maintenance and scheduled downtime, custom power steering lines don’t require as much maintenance compared to stock lines. Custom power steering lines are designed, engineered, and manufactured to feature minimal leak points, enhanced durability, and the ability to withstand large pressure spikes. The upfront cost might be higher compared to stock lines, but with minimal downtime and maintenance, owners save costs in the long run.

Optimized Routing To Maximize Performance

Custom power steering lines can be better routed, especially in tight front ends, which maximizes performance and minimizes defects. Better routing is achieved through having exact measurements of spaces near the front axle, steering cylinders, and front loaders, which ensures a perfect fit.
