Case Study: Blueline Blueberry Harvester reduces harvest loss by up to 50% with Eaton hydraulic system

Eaton's hydraulic system helps Blueline reduce harvest loss by up to 50 percent

Blueline Manufacturing Company, a manufacturer of innovative farm equipment, faced the challenge of developing a new blueberry harvester that needed enhanced operability and to significantly reduce crop waste during harvesting. To quickly develop this solution, they turned to vendor Eaton for its hydraulic system expertise and products, including DuraForce pumps and Pro-FX electronic controls.

Eaton collaborated with its distributor and the customer to implement a complete hydraulic system with electronic controls, auto-leveling, and traction control. This solution provided the harvester with enhanced driver ergonomics. As a result, Eaton's system helped reduce harvest losses by up to 50 percent in a proof of concept test, giving customers a strong return on investment.
