GenYus is a breakthrough casting solution that sets a new standard for tractor rear-line applications.

With GenYus, innovation meets everyday practicality. This ready-to-use manifold is compatible with most Selective Control Valves (“SCV”), giving OEMs unprecedented flexibility and seamless integration. Its unique lever mechanism enables operators to connect and disconnect with ease, reducing downtime and ensuring a seamless smooth, consistent coupling experience. The result is a system designed for performance, comfort and precision – ideal for the demands of modern agricultural environments.

“GenYus is a validation of our customer-centric focus that drives the creative genius of our product engineers. This casting solution addresses both customers’ and equipment operators’ pain points. For our OEM customers it reduces costs, accelerates time to market and simplifies manufacturing processes. For tractor operators, it provides an easy-to-use, quick, and seamless connection experience, improving efficiency and reducing the time required for equipment changeouts. With this product, we are redefining the future of fluid power connection technology today,” commented Matteo Arduini, President of Hydraulics, Fluid Conveyance Solutions.

What truly sets GenYus apart is its combination of adaptability and intelligence. A single casting manifold can host different cartridge types and sizes, reducing the need for multiple components. Flexible installation options allow GenYus to fit a variety of SCV configurations through adaptors, while three coupling sizes—½″ and ¾″ ISO A (poppet valve) and 5/8″ ISO 16O28 (flat face)—ensure compatibility with the most common hydraulic standards in agriculture.

Contamination protection is another core advantage of the GenYus design. Its sliding automatic doors shield the coupling area from dust and debris, ensuring clean and reliable operation even in the harshest field conditions. The oil collection system is equally well engineered, allowing operators to drain directly into the SCV or the tank, helping maintain system cleanliness and extend service intervals.

Ease of use was a guiding principle in the development of GenYus. A clean, on-product label guides operators through connection and operation, while integrated auxiliary ports make the manifold ready for additional functions, including custom dirty-oil collection systems upon request.

For OEMs, GenYus delivers both economic and technical advantages. Eliminating tooling investment streamlines procurement and development, while the product’s ready-to-install configuration accelerates production timelines. For end-users, the result is a smoother, safer, and more efficient connection experience—reflecting Faster’s ongoing commitment to innovation and operator satisfaction.

Purpose-built for tractors’ rear-line hydraulics, GenYus is more than a product launch—it represents a new standard in connection technology. Combining functionality, durability, and ergonomic design, it sets a benchmark for agricultural equipment worldwide.
