Steering system and hydrostatic transmission

The FP-MF300-VCLS 2-in-1 training simulator features a fully functional, “build-and-drive” hydraulic steering system on the front-end, and a fully functional “build-and-drive” hydrostatic transmission on the rear-end. The hydraulic steering system employs every hydraulic component found in a typical articulated vehicle’s steering system, including dual steering cylinders. The hydrostatic transmission or, closed-loop system, is arguably one of the most challenging systems to both teach, and learn... not anymore! The FP-MF300-VCLS “build-and-drive” hydrostatic transmission simulator will have students understanding exactly how these unique hydraulic transmissions work in no time at all.
