A work attachment for a motor grader includes a moldboard and a trip edge assembly coupled to the moldboard. The moldboard defines a plurality of first apertures. The trip edge assembly includes a trip edge structure. The trip edge assembly also includes a pivoting mechanism for pivoting a portion of the trip edge assembly in a first direction with respect to the moldboard when the trip edge assembly encounters an object in a drive path of the motor grader. The trip edge assembly further includes a mounting structure defining a plurality of second apertures. The plurality of second apertures are aligned with the plurality of first apertures to receive mechanical fasteners for removably coupling the trip edge assembly with the moldboard.

A blade for use with a grading machine comprises an attachment portion, a working portion including a plurality of teeth, each tooth defining a bore, and a plurality of wear resistant inserts retained in the bores of the teeth.

A control method in a motor grader including a front frame provided with a front wheel, a rear frame pivotably coupled to the front frame and provided with a rear wheel, a pivot mechanism which is provided between the front frame and the rear frame and allows the front frame to pivot with respect to the rear frame, an operation portion, and a sensor capable of detecting whether or not the front frame is at a neutral position with respect to the rear frame includes outputting a control signal for driving the pivot mechanism in response to an operation command in accordance with a state of operation onto the operation portion and stopping output of the control signal in response to the operation command when the sensor detects the neutral position.

A debris blower system for clearing debris from the path of a road grader. The debris blower system generally includes a mounting platform configured to mount to a road grader, a blower unit attached to the mounting platform, an exhaust tube attached to the blower unit, and a motor attached to the mounting platform. The exhaust tube may be configured to rotate relative to the blower unit to alter the flow of air from the blower unit. The motor is configured to rotate the exhaust tube and alter the direction of air from the blower, which is generally to a road surface in front of a road grader. The debris blower system may also be attached to a lifter, which permits the mounting platform to be raised and lowered to further control the outflow of air from the blower unit.

A machine orientation display may be displayed by an operator display device in an operator station of a machine. The machine orientation display may include a field area, a horizontal reference displayed on the field area, a machine orientation indicator displayed on the field area and positioned and oriented relative to the horizontal reference to graphically indicate a machine orientation of the machine relative to a work surface on which the machine is disposed. The machine orientation display may further include an implement orientation indicator displayed on the field area and positioned and oriented relative to the horizontal reference and the machine orientation indicator to graphically indicate an implement orientation of an implement of the machine. The implement is movable relative to a machine body of the machine and to the work surface.

A walking beam assembly includes a support beam and a mount member configured to mount the support beam on a vehicle chassis. Furthermore, the assembly includes a gear assembly that is supported proximate an end of the support beam. The gear assembly includes a gear train and a gear housing. The gear train is operably coupled to a wheel hub. The gear housing substantially encloses the gear train. Moreover, the walking beam assembly includes an input drive assembly with at least one movable part configured to deliver an input torque from the vehicle engine to the gear train. The input drive assembly includes an input drive housing that substantially encloses the at least one movable part. The input drive housing is attached to the gear housing such that an interior of the input drive housing is in fluid communication an interior of the gear housing.

A control system is disclosed. The control system may include a first input component to control a lean angle of at least one set of wheels of a machine and to provide a visual and/or tactile indication of the lean angle. The control system may include a second input component to control an articulation angle of an articulated joint of the machine and to provide a visual and/or tactile indication of the articulation angle. The control system may include a third input component to control a rotation angle of an implement of the machine and to provide a visual and/or tactile indication of the rotation angle.

A controller controls a first drive source and a second drive source based on a rotation speed of a right rear wheel measured by a rotation speed sensor and a rotation speed of a left rear wheel measured by a rotation speed sensor, to thereby independently control a rotation speed of each of a right front wheel and a left front wheel.

Systems and methods for automatically adjusting a motor grader can include receiving one or more identifiers corresponding to a configuration of the motor grader; determining, based at least in part on the one or more identifiers, a position of a leading edge of a blade of the motor grader relative to a rear frame axis of the motor grader; and, if the determined position is not within an operating threshold, causing a frame actuator of the motor grader to change an articulation angle of the frame to move the leading edge to within the acceptable threshold.

A system configured to be mounted to a vehicle for adjusting a position of an implement during an autonomous operation being performed by the vehicle. For example, the vehicle may monitor a height, slope angle, and/or load of an implement during an operation and adjust one or more parameters associated with the implement to achieve a desired finishing profile.
