Fluid Power in UK Agriculture:
Hydraulic Solutions from Brennan

UK agriculture relies on advanced machinery powered
by robust hydraulic systems to maintain productivity.
At Tom Parker Ltd, UK distributor of Brennan hydraulic fittings, we understand the critical role fluid power plays in keeping farms operational.

Whether it’s harvesting crops or handling livestock, Brennan’s high-performance hydraulic components ensure seamless operations.

In this blog post, we explore key agricultural applications, the importance of hydraulics, and how Brennan’s solutions drive efficiency across UK farms while providing a solid return on investment.

How Brennan Supports UK Agriculture

At Tom Parker Ltd, we are proud to distribute Brennan’s hydraulic solutions, designed to meet the demanding requirements of UK agriculture. From corrosion-resistant fittings to precision-engineered components, Brennan ensures farm machinery operates reliably under challenging conditions, providing peace of mind for smooth operations.

Combine Harvester: Precision in Crop Harvesting

Combine harvesters are essential to grain production in the UK, streamlining cutting, threshing, and cleaning into one efficient operation. These machines rely on hydraulic hoses to power critical functions such as header lifting, steering, and grain unloading. Operating in dusty fields filled with debris, exposes hydraulic hoses to constant vibration and abrasion. Brennan’s durable hose protection solutions, including sleeves, wraps, and guards*, shield these hoses from wear and tear, extending their lifespan and ensuring reliable performance during harvest season.

Agricultural Sprayer: Efficient Crop Protection

Agricultural sprayers are vital for applying fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides across extensive UK farmlands to ensure healthy crop yields. Hydraulic systems control the sprayer’s boom arms and nozzles for precise application. However, exposure to moisture and chemicals accelerates corrosion, threatening equipment longevity.

Our standard Brennan’s range is manufactured in carbon steel; however, other sizes, styles, and materials, such as stainless-steel fittings, are available on request. These provide unmatched durability, leading to reduced maintenance costs and less downtime.

Cattle Chute: Safe Livestock Handling

Cattle chutes are essential for safely managing livestock during tasks such as vaccinations, tagging, and weighing. These systems endure high-impact forces, rapid pressure changes, and constant vibrations, placing significant demands on hydraulic components.

Brennan’s O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) fittings*, equipped with durable elastomer seals, absorb pressure spikes and prevent leaks, making them ideal for high-pressure livestock handling environments. This reliability ensures ensure safe and more efficient operations on UK farms across the UK.

Telehandler: Versatile Load Handling

Telehandlers, or telescopic handlers, are indispensable on UK farms for lifting heavy loads like such as hay bales and assisting with cattle transport. Their hydraulic systems face continuous strain, requiring regular maintenance to prevent issues such as pressure loss or contamination.

Brennan’s test point fittings allow farmers to quickly assess system performance without disassembling machinery, minimising downtime and ensuring telehandlers remain operational during critical tasks.

Thread Identification Tools

Identifying hydraulic fittings can be challenging under tight schedules. Brennan’s Thread ID Kits*, including seat angle gauges and thread gauges, simplify the process with accurate measurements and identification.

Supported by comprehensive guides, these tools help UK farmers and technicians reduce leaks and maintain system integrity across imperial and metric systems.

Custom-Engineered Fittings

Every UK farm has unique requirements, and so do its hydraulic systems. Brennan offers custom fittings tailored to the specific shapes and needs of agricultural equipment. These precision-engineered fittings ensure a perfect fit, optimising performance and maintaining system integrity. With a diverse selection of sizes, materials, and coatings, supported by CAD designs, Brennan delivers solutions for even the most specialised applications.

Powering UK Agriculture

Every apple, head of lettuce, or bale of hay represents the hard work of UK farmers and the machinery that supports them. Brennan’s hydraulic solutions, distributed by Tom Parker Ltd ‘your partner for fluid power’ in the UK, help keep this essential industry moving forward. With durable, corrosion-resistant components and innovative tools, we are on hand to help farmers overcome challenges and maintain productivity.
