Compact tool carriers having a loader mounted to a low-profile mainframe are disclosed. In some embodiments, the pivot points of the mainframe about which the loader is pivoted are low relative to the mainframe to reduce the mainframe size and to lower the center of gravity to improve the stability of the compact tool carrier during use.

A work vehicle includes a rotary member, a support member, a sealing ring, a pressure controller, and a vehicle speed determination component. The rotary member has a first hydraulic fluid supply channel to supply the hydraulic fluid to the steering clutch, and is rotated by power from the transmission when the steering clutch is engaged. The sealing ring is disposed between the rotary member and the support member and is mounted adjacent to the connected part between the first hydraulic fluid supply channel and the second hydraulic fluid supply channel. The pressure controller controls the engagement pressure to be a specific first pressure when the vehicle speed is determined not to be equal to or greater than a specific speed, and controls the engagement pressure to decrease from the first pressure when the vehicle speed is determined to be equal to or greater than a specific speed.

Implementations of the present disclosure are generally directed to activating features in power machines. More particularly, implementations of the present disclosure are directed to remote activation of features in power machines. Implementations include, methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for transmitting a request for an initialization indicator for a software package from an initialization system of a power machine comprising hardware physically capable of executing at least one function, the request being transmitted, by a communication link of the initialization system, from a machine controller of the initialization system to a remote system, communicating, by the communication link, the initialization indicator from the remote system to the machine controller, and in response to receiving the initialization indicator: storing, by the machine controller, the initialization indicator, and executing, by the machine controller, the software package to control the at least one function.

A construction machine includes: a work device attached to a machine body in a raiseable and lowerable manner; an antenna that is attached to the machine body and receives positioning signals from satellites; a machine body IMU that senses information on a posture and motion of the machine body; an IMU that senses information on a posture of the work device; and a computing device that computes posture information indicating the postures of the machine body and the work device. The computing device performs positioning computation to compute a position of the machine body and a variance value thereof based on the positioning signals received by the antenna, subjects the position as a result of the positioning computation to first smoothing processing that is to increase a degree of smoothing as the variance value as a result of the positioning computation becomes larger, and computes the posture information.

Provided is a hydraulic machine including an actuator, a first pump and a second pump configured to supply pressurized fluid to the actuator, a driving motor configured to drive the first and second pumps, a first operator input device through which an operator's desire to operate the actuator is input, and a controller. The controller determines displacements of the first and second pumps corresponding to the operator's desire and a speed of rotation of the driving motor and controls the first pump, the second pump, and the driving motor to operate according to the displacements of the first and second pumps and the speed of rotation of the driving motor finally determined in the determination of the displacements of the first and second pumps.

According to the present invention, a controller determines whether the current performance of a piece of equipment satisfies a determination criterion, on the basis of the current state of the equipment, acquired by a sensor. If the controller determines that the current performance of the equipment does not satisfy the determination criterion, the controller calculates a parameter with which the performance of the equipment satisfies the determination criterion, on the basis of the current state of the equipment, acquired by the sensor, and the determination criterion. The controller changes a parameter managed by a storage device to the parameter calculated by the controller.

A remote operation device and a remote operation system that can reduce or eliminate deviation of the position of an indicator image of a working unit such as a line image in an image with respect to the position of the working unit in a real space. In some case, because of a cause such as a communication failure, a position posture coordinate value of a working unit corresponding to captured image data in a work environment image deviates from a position posture coordinate value of the working unit estimated according to an operation form of a remote operation mechanism. In this case, a semitransparent indicator image Img2(τ2) simulating a bucket is superimposed on a work environment image Img1(τ2) in a position where the bucket is estimated to be originally present and deviating from an image region representing the bucket.

A work vehicle includes an engine and a transmission assembly having a variator, a gear arrangement, and an electric machine operably connected to the engine and to the variator to provide rotational power to the variator. The transmission assembly selectively transfers power from one or both of the engine and the electric machine to an output shaft to drive ground engaging elements of the work vehicle. A traction control unit controls a speed or torque output of the electric machine to provide traction control for the work vehicle, with the traction control unit operating to receive inputs on a commanded ground speed and an actual ground speed of the work vehicle, compare the commanded ground speed to the actual ground speed and, when the commanded ground speed exceeds the actual ground speed by a threshold amount, reduce the speed or torque output of the electric machine, thereby providing traction control for the ground engaging elements.
