Hydraulic wheel drive system

The Black Bruin On-Demand Drive System is a power transmission solution designed specifially for tractor-driven trailers and implements. The core of the system is formed by a hydraulic wheel hub motor, which provides tractive power exactly where it’s needed – right underneath the heavy load. The radial piston motor, combined with new technologies, offers many advantages to improve the productivity and sustainability of machines in forestry, agriculture and earth-moving.

Get the job done

Trailers with driven wheels offer many advantages for tractor operators. The additional traction makes it possible to extend the season or perform tasks in conditions that normally would halt work. It also prevents trailers from sinking into wet fields or forests, avoiding damage to arable land or tree roots.

Trailers with driven axles even save fuel, as heavy loads can be pulled more easily. The biggest savings are generated by the fact that a smaller tractor can be used to pull the same load.

Key benefits

Time is money – Get the job done when it needs to be done!
Less soil damage and compaction
Less tractor power required – Lower fuel consumption
No ploughing effect or hauling of dead weight
Improved steering ability

Control system options

Black Bruin control systems include functions for various operating situations for off-road use: Driving direction selection, tractive power adjustment, speed range control, freewheeling, and assisting traction control (ATC).

CTR101

CTR101 offers either manual control or automation based on speed sensors in motors.

CTR201

CTR201 control system utilizes the tractor’s ISOBUS which provides the system with all the data needed to control the trailer’s wheel motors, such as the tractor’s direction and speed.
