LAND LEVELLER
The present disclosure relates to a land leveler, and relates to the field of engineering machinery to optimize the structure of a swing frame. The land leveler comprises a vehicle frame and a swing frame. The swing frame comprises a supporting beam assembly and connecting parts, wherein the supporting beam assembly comprises multiple beam members, and the multiple beam members are connected sequentially at end parts, such that the multiple beam members form a closed shape. The connecting part is arranged at the connecting end part between two adjacent beam members. At least one connecting part is rotatably connected with the vehicle frame, and at least another connecting part is rotatably connected with a driving part. For the supporting beam of the above structure, under the same bearing capability, the supporting beam assembly with the above structure has a smaller structure, each beam bears weight, and the occupied size is small and the weight is light, thereby being beneficial for performance improvement of the whole vehicle, and beneficial for implementation of lightweight design of the whole vehicle.
CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WORK MACHINE, AND WORK MACHINE
A work machine includes a work implement. A control system for the work machine includes a controller. The controller acquires cliff position data. The cliff position data indicates a position of a cliff included in an actual topography of a work site. The controller determines a target design topography located below the actual topography. The controller determines an end position of work by the work implement from the cliff position data. The controller generates a command signal to move a work implement according to the end position and the target design topography.
Coupling for containment plows and pushers
A pivot coupling system that permits the use of attachable equipment such as material pushers or containment plows with a range of vehicles including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), utility task vehicle (UTV), lawn and garden tractors, small farm tractors, small trucks, skid-steer loaders, etc.
Grading device for skid steer equipment
A grading device is attachable to skid steer equipment. The device is fashioned as a standard bucket attachment secured to a box or dozer blade. The bucket attachment is configured to secure to the universal attachment arm of skid steer equipment.
Method of controlling a work machine according to a drivetrain load-adjusted economy mode and control system thereof
A method of selecting an economy operating mode of a work machine includes detecting a current throttle position of a throttle control and a current track speed with a speed sensor, and determining a current drivetrain load of the machine as a function of motor torque, a drivetrain ratio, a drivetrain mechanical efficiency, a final drive windage factor, and a rolling radius. The method includes decreasing the current throttle command if a ratio of the current drivetrain load to an available drivetrain load is less than a load threshold. A transmission ratio of the transmission is increased by the controller to an increased transmission ratio if the ratio of the current drivetrain load to the available drivetrain load is less than the load threshold.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR WORK VEHICLE, METHOD, AND WORK VEHICLE
A work vehicle includes a work implement. A control system for the work vehicle includes an operating device and a controller. The operating device outputs an operation signal indicative of an operation by an operator. The controller communicates with the operating device and controls the work implement. The controller determines a first target design topography. The controller generates a command signal to operate a work implement in accordance with the first target design topography. The controller obtains a displacement amount of the work implement with respect to the first target design topography upon receiving the operation signal indicative of the operation of the work implement during work in accordance with the first target design topography. The controller determines a second target design topography based on the displacement amount. The controller generates a command signal to operate the work implement in accordance with the second target design topography.
FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR SUPPORTING AN IMPLEMENT ON A VEHICLE
A frame assembly for supporting an implement on a vehicle includes a support frame attachable to the vehicle, a lever pivotable about a first axis between first and second positions, and a biasing assembly connecting the lever to the support frame. A first end of the biasing assembly is supported against the lever to pivot about a second pivot axis being parallel to the first pivot axis and being vertically spaced relative to the first pivot axis when the support frame is removably attached to the vehicle and the lever is in the first position. A second end of the biasing assembly is supported against the support frame to pivot about a third pivot axis when the lever pivots about the first pivot axis. The third pivot axis is parallel to and is spaced from the first pivot axis when the support frame is removably attached to the vehicle.
IMPLEMENT MOUNTING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR MANAGING A CABLE USED FOR MOUNTING THE SAME TO A VEHICLE
An implement mounting assembly for mounting a work implement to a vehicle is mountable and operable using a retractable cable operatively connected to the vehicle. The implement mounting assembly includes a frame having a work implement support end and a vehicle attachment end, the frame defining a cable routing space, an attachment point to which the cable extending through the cable routing space is attachable, the attachment point being connected at the work implement support end of the frame, and an auto-release cable management assembly disposed longitudinally between the attachment point and the vehicle attachment ends of the frame. The auto-release cable management assembly includes a hook and a gate positioned with respect to the hook to be movable between an open position in which the hook is accessible to the cable and a closed position in which the hook is inaccessible to the cable.
SYSTEM FOR MACHINE AND IMPLEMENT CONTROL
A system for controlling the position of a rigidly attached side-shifting-implement mounted on a mobile machinery while simultaneously controlling the position of the mobile machinery allowing the side-shifting-implement and the mobile machinery to follow a predetermined or adjustable path. The system applies to three-point attachments as well as rack and rail attachments. The system uses a controller to control the position of the side-shifting-implement using information received from a position monitoring system communication with a roving receiver mounted on the side-shifting-implement. The controller also controls the position of the mobile machinery using local relationship sensors mounted on the side-shifting-implement and on the mobile machinery. The relationship sensors allow the controller to use one roving data receiver instead of two roving data receivers to control both the position of the side shifting implement and the position of the mobile machinery.
Stall plow
A stall plow removably attaches to a prior art skid steer using available quick connect couplers. The stall plow has a moldboard that is configured to completely remove waste bedding from a livestock free stall from the area adjacent to the curb and deliver it to the alley, where a prior art machine can then complete removal of the waste bedding from the alley. The moldboard includes a primary scraper section and side cutter that scrapes and lifts waste bedding up and over the curb. A curb section and curb flange then shift the bedding over to the alley and drop waste bedding into the alley, where a discharge spreader levels and distributes the waste. An extensible arm and hydraulic extension cylinder adjusts the moldboard transversely relative to direction of travel. An angle and pitch adjuster sets the moldboard for a particular free stall geometry and bedding material composition.
