SOFT SHOE SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The H&S Soft Shoe™ Suspension System is a self-contained hydraulic suspension system provides the
softest merger head footprint in the industry! This is important in many field conditions...wet soils, rough
terrain, new seeding, etc.
The Soft Shoe™ Suspension System incorporates an additional pump to the PTO pump assembly, along
with computer-controlled logic that self-regulates the nitrogen-charged accumulator head suspension
system pressure. The operator controls the desired head suspension system pressure from the remotely-
mounted display console. Excess oil from the pump is diverted back to sump through the solenoid manifold
assembly. When operator chooses to increase the head suspension system pressure, this reduces the
skid shoe weight in the field. Oil is diverted from the accumulator to the two head lift cylinders to "lift" the
heads thereby decreasing the amount of weight on the skid shoes. If the operator chooses to decrease
the head suspension system pressure, this has the effect of adding skid shoe weight in the field. When
this happens, oil is "bled" from the two head lift cylinders which increases the weight of the heads on the
skid shoes.
As the merger is operating through the field, the H&S Soft Shoe™ Suspension System provides a self-
regulating feature that constantly adjusts the weight on the skid shoes. This is accomplished with the
computer-controlled logic that constantly senses the hydraulic pressure fluctuations that come with the
constant changes in field environments, especially rolling and rough ground conditions. The computer-
controlled logic send signals to control manifold solenoids and can do so at a rate of up to 125 signals
per second.
What you end up with is a self-monitoring weight transfer system that maintains a constant system
pressure throughout the entire 20" of header travel. The H&S Soft Shoe™ Suspension System delivers
a footprint that reduces field damage from head scuffing and minimizes wear on the skid shoes.
