ASABE Adopts Hydraulic Coupler Standard

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has adopted an ISO standard, ANSI/ASABE AD5675:2008, Agricultural tractors and machinery–General purpose quick-action hydraulic couplers.

An ASABE standard with the same title, ANSI/ASAE EP366.2, was used as the basis for the ISO standard and was replaced with the adoption.

The adoption further "harmonizes national and international standardization".
