Franklin Electric Centrifugal Hydraulic Driven 9″
Franklin Electric 9 inch hydraulic driven centrifugal pump is a large-capacity surface pump powered directly by a tractor or equipment hydraulic system, making it an ideal solution for remote agricultural irrigation, construction dewatering, and water transfer operations where electrical power is not available and a dedicated gas engine drive is not preferred. Available at Ken’s Distributing Company (Kendisco), the 9 inch hydraulic driven model delivers the same high-volume performance as the SAE engine drive and frame mount variants at up to 2,000 GPM and 260 feet of head, powered entirely by the hydraulic output of your existing tractor or equipment.
Ken’s Distributing stocks the Franklin Electric 9 inch hydraulic driven centrifugal pump in both NPT and flanged connection configurations, along with genuine replacement parts for the XS3x4-9 and XS6x8-9 model variants. If you are already running a tractor in the field, the hydraulic driven pump lets you put that hydraulic power to work without the added cost and maintenance of a separate engine-driven pump unit.
What Is the Franklin Electric 9 Inch Hydraulic Driven Centrifugal Pump?
The Franklin Electric 9 inch hydraulic driven centrifugal pump is a heavy-duty cast iron surface pump designed to be powered by a hydraulic motor connected to a tractor or equipment hydraulic system. The pump is available in both “B” and “C” hydraulic motor fits, which correspond to standard hydraulic motor mounting configurations, allowing the pump to be matched to the output characteristics and motor interface of your hydraulic system.
Unlike gas engine driven pumps that require a dedicated power unit, the hydraulic driven pump uses hydraulic fluid flow from your tractor’s existing hydraulic system as its power source. This keeps the overall equipment footprint compact and eliminates the need to refuel, start, or maintain a separate engine in the field. The pump features a heavy-duty cast iron volute with back pull-out design, an enclosed double-keyed cast iron impeller, and an oversized shaft with max-life bearings for sustained high-volume output in demanding field conditions.

Applications and Industries
The Franklin Electric 9 inch hydraulic driven centrifugal pump is particularly practical for operations where a tractor is already on-site and in use. Rather than deploying a separate engine-driven pump unit, you can connect the hydraulic driven pump directly to the tractor hydraulic system and start pumping immediately. This is a meaningful advantage in agriculture, where tractors are already present during planting, cultivation, and harvest operations that also require irrigation or water transfer.
- Remote agricultural and crop irrigation where tractor hydraulic power is available and electrical infrastructure is not
- Commercial water transfer operations using hydraulic-powered pump skids
- Construction site dewatering in areas without electrical access, powered by excavator or skid steer hydraulics
- Municipal water supply and emergency response with hydraulically powered pump equipment
- Mining water management in remote locations with hydraulic equipment on-site
- Light industrial water transfer applications with hydraulic power available
- Water truck filling powered by truck hydraulic system
Hydraulic Driven vs. SAE Engine Drive vs. Frame Mount: Which Do You Need?
Franklin Electric offers the 9 inch pump in several drive configurations at Ken’s Distributing. The table below helps you choose the right drive type for your power source and installation requirements.
| Drive Type | Power Source | Best Application |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic Driven | Tractor or equipment hydraulic system | Remote fields with tractor on-site, no electrical or separate engine needed |
| SAE Engine Drive | Direct engine mount via SAE bell housing | Stationary or portable diesel engine-driven pump stations |
| Frame Mount (Belt/Direct) | Electric motor, belt, or engine with intermediate coupling | Electric motor drive installations, PTO drive, fixed pump station setups |
If you are not sure which drive type matches your tractor hydraulic output or equipment specifications, contact Ken’s Distributing Company directly. The team at Kendisco can help you confirm hydraulic motor fit compatibility and select the right configuration for your system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Franklin Electric 9 inch hydraulic driven centrifugal pump used for?
The Franklin Electric 9 inch hydraulic driven centrifugal pump is used for remote agricultural irrigation, construction dewatering, municipal water supply, water truck filling, and industrial water transfer applications where a tractor or equipment hydraulic system is the available power source. It delivers up to 2,000 GPM at heads up to 260 feet without requiring a separate engine or electrical connection.
What does hydraulic driven mean on this pump?
Hydraulic driven means the pump is powered by a hydraulic motor connected to a tractor or equipment hydraulic system rather than by an electric motor, gas engine, or belt drive. Hydraulic fluid from the tractor or equipment powers the hydraulic motor, which turns the pump impeller. The Franklin Electric 9 inch hydraulic driven pump is available in B and C hydraulic motor fits to match standard hydraulic motor interfaces on common tractor and equipment models.
What are B and C hydraulic motor fits?
B and C hydraulic motor fits refer to standardized hydraulic motor mounting configurations that define the bolt pattern and shaft interface between the hydraulic motor and the pump. Different tractor and equipment models use different hydraulic motor output configurations. Ken’s Distributing can help you confirm which motor fit matches your tractor or equipment hydraulic output to ensure compatibility before ordering.
What is the difference between the XS3x4-9 and XS6x8-9 models?
The XS3x4-9 uses a 3 inch discharge and 4 inch suction with NPT threaded connections and clockwise rotation. The XS6x8-9 uses a 6 inch discharge and 8 inch suction with Class 150 flanged connections for higher-volume installations with larger piping systems. Both models use the same hydraulic drive configuration. Contact Ken’s Distributing for help selecting the right port size for your flow requirements and piping layout.
How does the hydraulic driven pump compare to the SAE engine drive model?
Both deliver the same maximum performance at 2,000 GPM and 260 feet of head. The hydraulic driven model is powered by your existing tractor or equipment hydraulic system and requires no separate engine. The SAE engine drive model mounts directly to a dedicated engine via SAE bell housing. If you already have a tractor in the field, the hydraulic driven model is typically the simpler and more cost-effective choice. If you need a standalone pump unit independent of a tractor, the SAE engine drive is the better option.
What replacement parts are available for the 9 inch hydraulic driven pump?
Ken’s Distributing Company (Kendisco) carries genuine Franklin Electric replacement parts for the 9 inch hydraulic driven centrifugal pump including NPT and flanged volute cases for the XS3x4-9 and XS6x8-9 models. See the parts table above for specific part numbers. Contact Kendisco directly for additional components including shaft sleeves, seals, impellers, and bearing frame parts for your model.
