Hydrostatic Transmission + Driving Simulator
The MF500-HT-TSE is an instructor’s “dream-come-true” with respect to teaching state-of-the-art, electronically-controlled hydrostatic transmission systems – hands-on. It can even be driven as if it were on a construction site, in real-time!
Driving a skid-steer loader around a construction site and operating the MF500-HT-TSE in the lab amounts to the same thing – without the hazards!
Designed for instructors who want to teach hydrostatic transmission and steering systems with the same components found in popular front-end loaders but without the safety hazards and physical limitations of operating a loaded, faulty skidsteer in a shop full of students.
Teach basic concepts to advanced applications + troubleshooting in a classroom-friendly manner where students can gather around to see real-time symptoms of faults as you drive the simulator through a variety of scenarios.

Logic Element with Diagnostic Capability
There are some things that no matter how much you try to explain, or how many graphics you use, some students just don’t get it. One of those things has got to be logic valves.
Have you ever asked yourself, “if only I had a fully functional, four logic valve that was completely transparent”? Well, now you do!
Introducing the easy to explain, and just as easy to learn, plug-and-play logic valve module with auto-fault and troubleshooting capability: the MF100-LE-TS. A plug-and-play add-on for the MF-102 Series Hydraulic Training Systems.

Proportional Directional / Flow Control Valve
Combined with the components on the MF102 series training systems, the Proportional Directional/Flow Control Valve Module will allow instructors to teach, and students to learn, all facets of Proportional Directional/Flow Control Valve operation and circuit application, and amplifier parameter adjustment.
The MF100-PDCV module consists of the following components:
- Two-position, 4-way, proportional solenoid controlled closed-center directional/flow control valve.
- Amplifier.
- Joystick controller (linear potentiometer) – optional.
- Aluminum, self-contained unit finished with a durable powder-coat with removable steel back cover.
- Front-plate with printed identification symbols and color-coding.
- Appropriate warnings and cautions.

Steering Valve (Orbitrol)
We wholeheartedly agree that the only way to teach and learn hydraulic steering systems with a measurable degree of success is to park a front-end loader in the classroom – hardly practical due to important things like safety, space, and cost.
You can always depend on the professionals at FPTI™ to develop a safe and practical alternative. Introducing the MF100-OSV – a fully-functional, plug-and-play, hydraulic steering system that is absolutely identical, in every respect, to the type found on all articulated machines such as front-end loaders and off-highway trucks.
The “TS” model makes it possible to generate the identical wear-related faults steering components experience in the real world for a real world learning experience.
