Power Control System

A power control system for a forestry machine may include an engine control module and a pump control module. The engine control module may be configured to control an engine speed of an engine of the forestry machine. The engine speed may be limited in accordance with a maximum engine speed. The pump control module may determine whether a first function of the forestry machine is activated, determine whether a sensed pressure of a pump associated with the first function is greater than or equal to a high pressure setpoint, and output a control signal indicating a request for a power increase in response to determining that the first function is activated and the sensed pressure is greater than or equal to the high pressure setpoint. The engine control module may increase the maximum engine speed in response to the request for the power increase from the pump control module.

Determining a condition of a structural part of a working machine
11650131 · 2023-05-16 · ·

A condition of at least one structural part (11′, 11″) of a working machine (10) is determined by detecting (201) a force of a changing magnitude to a first structural part (11′) or a structural part connecting the first structural part (11′) to the second structural part (11″), determining (203) a change in the position of the first structural part with respect to the second structural part as a function of the force detected, and determining (205) the condition on the basis of the change in the position of the first structural part with respect to the second structural part as a function of the force detected. At least a slope of the change in the magnitude of the force is detected.

Portable log skidder
11647704 · 2023-05-16 ·

A device for picking up and hauling a log or similar object and a method for its use are disclosed. The device is capable of picking up one end of the log and dragging the log behind it, but is also capable of picking up the entire log off the ground. The device can be anchored to and pulled behind a small vehicle, such as an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or utility vehicle (UTV), or behind a large vehicle such as a car or truck. The device uses no winches or hydraulics that could break or wear out, and lifts and holds the log solely using levers and chains as attachment points. The device is able to maneuver over rugged terrain and is also able to be towed at high speeds on a road.
