A method for estimating the weight of loads carried by implements may include controlling an implement subject to actual weighing conditions to lift a load and receiving an input indicative of a sensed force associated with lifting the load. The method may further include determining a correlation value indicative of a correlation between first and second force values for lifting a given load with the implement as a function of the actual weighing conditions and as a function of nominal weighing conditions, respectively, where at least one of the actual weighing conditions differs from at least one of the nominal weighing conditions. Furthermore, the method may include determining an adjusted force value for lifting the load based at least in part on the sensed force and the correlation value. Additionally, the method may include estimating the weight of the load based at least in part on the adjusted force value.

A method for estimating load weights for a work vehicle including a boom pivotably coupled to the chassis of the work vehicle at a boom joint and an implement pivotably coupled to the boom at an implement joint may include receiving an input indicative of a tilt force associated with a tilt cylinder configured to pivot the implement about the implement joint, and an input indicative of a lift force associated with a lift cylinder configured to pivot the boom about the boom joint. The method may further include determining a torque about the implement joint caused by the load based on the tilt force and determining a torque about the boom joint caused by the load based on the lift and tilt forces. Additionally, the method may include estimating a weight of the load based on the torques about the boom and implement joints.

Systems and methods for a power machine can provide greater functionality and operator comfort. A climate control system for a power machine can include a condenser, mounted on a front frame member of the power machine. Paths for air flow to cool an engine compartment can extend along airflow passages though a fuel tank. Secondary braking systems can allow a power machine to be stopped with modulated fashion when a primary power source is unavailable. Rear-view vision systems can include a camera mounted on a front pivoting frame (e.g., near the top of an operator station) to provide improved environmental information to an operator. A tilt actuator of the power machine can be configured to operate in a float mode.

A system includes a work vehicle, user interface, and controller. The work vehicle includes a frame, boom, implement, perception sensor, position sensor, and ground speed sensor. The perception sensor senses an approaching environment. The position sensor senses a position of the boom or implement. The user interface includes controls and indicators. The controller is coupled to the controls, indicators, perception sensor, position sensor, and ground speed sensor. The controller receives a command to move the work vehicle, drives the work vehicle, determines a distance to the container, determines the ground speed, determines the position of the boom or the implement, receives a command to raise the boom, raises the boom during travel, determines whether the distal end will reach a threshold height before the work vehicle reaches the container, and activates the indicators if the distal end will not reach the threshold height in time.

Provided is a wheel loader capable of evenly loading a target object for loading onto a target area for loading with simple operation to thus mitigate a burden on an operator. The wheel loader 100 includes a travel device 120 that causes a vehicle body to travel, a drive device 150 that actuates a lift arm and a bucket, an area detection device 160 that detects a loading area, and a control device 170. The control device 170 recognizes the loading area on the basis of a detection result of the area detection device 160 and controls the travel device 120 and the drive device 150, so that the target object for loading contained in the bucket is distributed to be loaded in a plurality of different positions of the loading area while changing the position of the vehicle body in the front-back direction.

A wiring assembly for an excavator including a first wiring harness and a second wiring harness. The first wiring harness can include a first branch and a second branch. The second wiring harness can include a third branch, a fourth branch, and a fifth branch. The fifth branch can be include a fifth connector couplable to a tiltrotator connector of a tiltrotator of the excavator.

A work machine includes a vehicle body, and a plurality of radar devices. The vehicle body includes a front frame and a rear frame, traveling wheels disposed on the front frame, and traveling wheels disposed the rear frame. The rear frame is relatively operably connected to the front frame by an articulated mechanism. The plurality of radar devices are positioned on right and left sides of a central axis that extends along a front-rear direction of the rear frame. The plurality of radar devices are installed at a rear part of the vehicle body. Each radar device of the plurality of radar devices includes a detector configured to detect an object, and the detector is installed facing outward from a direction parallel to the central axis.

A payload detection system for automated payload tip-off of a loading operation includes a tip-off controller. The tip-off controller is configured to receive a signal of a remaining payload target; receive a signal of a material weight within an implement and a signal of an angle of the implement; and determine a tip-off threshold based on the material weight and the remaining payload target. The tipoff controller initiates a bulk dump sequence if a difference between the material weight and the remaining payload target is greater than the tip-off threshold and initiates a slow dump sequence if the difference is below the tip-off threshold. The bulk dump sequence includes a single implement actuation to induce material spill until the tip-off threshold is met and the material is staged. The slow dump sequence includes a plurality of dump then rack actuations to induce and then prevent material spill until the remaining payload target is met, each dump actuation having an associated dump angle and each successive dump angle is progressively smaller.

A work machine includes a vehicle body, a rearward detecting section, and a control section. The vehicle body includes a traveling unit and a work implement disposed in front of the traveling unit. The rearward detecting section is configured to detect an object when traveling in reverse due to driving of the traveling unit. The control section is configured to decide to validate or invalidate a first control according to a detection of the object, a state of traveling in reverse, and a scooping work state by the work implement. The control section is configured to decide to validate the first control based on the scooping work state when the first control is invalidated.
