Hydraulics

Agricultural Transformation, Technology and Extension

Hydraulics is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids. The cited article says that, rooted in fluid mechanics, hydraulics is used to govern the use of energy via pressurized liquids, and that it has been part of human history since ancient times. For farm implements it names the power of rams and motors driven by pressurized fluid from a tractor pump, one half of the combined hydraulic or power take-off value. Implements recorded in the atlas as hydraulically powered are grouped under this concept.

Powers Implement

Entity-backed identity for the power-source enum value this implement already carries, resolved to an agriculture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The power-source fact itself stays on the implement unchanged.
