An electric loader is provided with a plurality of independently driven wheels. For example, a four-wheeled electric loader includes four independently operated wheels, each directly coupled to a dedicated electric motor. A fifth independent electrical motor powers the lift arm and/or any attachments coupled to an auxiliary hydraulic. A central forced-air system supplies pressurized air to each independent electric motor to cool the electric motor during operation. In some embodiments, the auxiliary electric motor powers the fan and/or air conditioner of the central forced-air system. A lever and/or electric brake may be applied to an axle of the electric motors. In some embodiments, a rotating or pivotable battery panel locks a plurality of battery cells to provide a central source of power, counter-weight the loader arm, and rotate away to provide the operator access to an internal cavity of the cab.

A method for depositing material at a target location with a work vehicle includes receiving an input associated with a target weight of the material to be deposited at the target location. Additionally, the method includes controlling an operation of the vehicle such that an implement of the vehicle obtains a quantity of the material. Furthermore, the method includes controlling the operation of the vehicle such that the implement is raised from a first to a second position. Moreover, the method includes determining a weight of the currently obtained quantity of the material as the implement is raised from the first to the second position. In addition, the method includes controlling the operation of the vehicle such that the currently obtained quantity of the material is deposited at the target location. Further, the method includes initiating display of a current total weight of the material deposited at the target location.

The wheel loader includes a rear detection section, a state detection section, and a controller. The rear detection section detects rearward of the vehicle body when moving backward. The state detection section detects a state of the vehicle body. The controller brakes the vehicle body based on the detection of the state detection section and the detection of the rear detection section.

A multiple mode operational system for a work machine may comprise a frame, a ground-engaging mechanism coupled to the frame, an attachment, an object detector, and a multiple mode control system. The multiple mode control system may include a control device and a controller receiving a signal from the control device. The controller may have a first operational mode and a second operational mode. The first operational mode may enable a first sensitivity response to the control device and the second operational mode may enable a second sensitivity response to the control device. The controller may be configured to receive an object signal from the object detector and modify the operational mode of the controller based on a detected distance of the object from a reference point.

Provided is a work machine capable of notifying that maintenance is necessary due to continuation of clogging in a cooling device or decrease in cooling performance. A wheel loader 1 including a radiator 31 and an oil cooler 32 comprises a controller 5, 5A configured to determine a clogging continuation state of the radiator 31 or the oil cooler 32. The controller 5, 5A determines whether clogging is occurring in the radiator 31 or the oil cooler 32 based on outside air temperature AW and cooling water temperature CW or hydraulic oil temperature HW, determines whether the clogging continues based on a clogging occurrence ratio R1, R2 while an engine 30 is operating, and outputs a notification command signal for providing the alarm buzzer 61 and the user management system 62 with a command to notify that maintenance is necessary when it is determined that the clogging continues.

A hydraulic system for controlling an implement on a work machine may include a hydraulic reservoir, a hydraulic pump in fluid communication with the reservoir, a central valve in fluid communication with the pump and configured for controlling the implement, a load sense pressure relief system, and a controller. The controller may be configured for controlling the central valve and the load sense pressure relief system and selecting between operating the hydraulic system at a first pressure and a second pressure based on a factor relating to implement position.

A load sensitive ride system and method is disclosed for a vehicle with an implement movably attached by a boom cylinder. The system includes a payload weight measuring system that measures payload weight and generates a signal indicative of the payload weight, a ride control circuit that adjusts hydraulic flow to and from the boom cylinder; and a controller that receives the signal indicative of the payload weight, and sends compliance commands to adjust ride control compliance based on the signal indicative of the payload weight. The system can include a tire inflation system that adjusts tire pressure. The controller can send inflation commands to adjust tire pressure based on the signal indicative of the payload weight. The compliance commands can depend on the components and compliance adjustment methods of the ride control circuit.

A mobile work machine includes an operator compartment having an operator interface mechanism configured to receive operator input, a control system configured to generate a control signal to control the mobile work machine in an unmanned operation mode, a machine state detection system configured to detect a machine state of the mobile work machine in the unmanned operation mode, and a visualization system configured to control a visual indicator mechanism in the operator compartment to generate a visual indication of the detected machine state.

A system for controlling the operation of a work vehicle implement during an implement shake operation may include an implement configured to pivotably coupled to a loader arm. A controller may be configured to monitor an angle of the implement relative to the arm during the implement shake operation. Furthermore, the controller may be configured to determine first and second differentials between monitored angles of the implement during first and second cycles of the implement shake operation, respectively, and a predetermined average implement angle. Additionally, the controller may be configured to determine an estimated differential between an anticipated angle of the implement during a third cycle of the implement shake operation and the predetermined angle based on the first and second differentials. Furthermore, the controller may be configured to adjust a duty cycle and/or an amplitude of the third cycle of the implement shake operation based on the estimated differential.

A wheel loader includes a boom, a forward clutch, and a controller configured to control hydraulic pressure of hydraulic oil supplied to the forward clutch. The controller performs clutch hydraulic pressure control for bringing the forward clutch into a semi-engagement state by controlling the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic oil supplied to the forward clutch on condition that the wheel loader advances while raising the boom in at least a loaded state.
