The Hydra 500 puts five hydraulic boom functions on switches in the cab — levelling, height, lock and two boom movements — driving a 6-spool solenoid directional valve block on the sprayer through a 6 m cable (11 m optional). The AIR version connects the solenoid valves on the sprayer through the AIR ECU and links to the cab wirelessly.
Best for: field sprayers with hydraulic boom lift and fold that are operated from a closed cab.
Hydraulic valves in the system let you control every boom movement from the cab.
5 Way
Levelling, height, lock and 2 boom movements.
AIR ECU Version
Also available as Hydra 500 AIR — the SIM109 valve cable plugs into ECU socket 4 on the sprayer.

Hydra 500 AIR THYD500.02
The Hydra 500 hydraulic control box with the AIR ECU wireless valve interface — boom movements from the cab, solenoid valves connected on the sprayer, no valve cable through the cab. The SIM109 valve cable plugs into ECU socket 4.
AIR ECU
The AIR ECU is mounted on the sprayer, next to the valves. The valve harness plugs straight into its sealed, numbered sockets and the ECU talks to the box in the cab wirelessly — no thick valve cable has to be pulled into the tractor cab. Power and wireless-link LEDs on the front plate show the status at a glance.
