A scraper having a frame with a first removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame, a second removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame, a rear bucket pivotally coupled to the frame and having a dump position and a carry position, the rear bucket comprising a first rear sidewall positioned on a first side of the rear bucket and a second rear sidewall positioned on a second side of the rear bucket. Wherein, the first removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the first rear sidewall and the second removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the second rear sidewall. Further wherein, as the rear bucket transitions between the carry position and the dump position, the first and second removable sidewalls move relative to the surface of the corresponding first and second rear sidewalls.

An implement has a frame. First and second shafts are mounted to the frame and rotate along coaxial longitudinal center axes. A tilt actuator is operatively connected between the first and second shafts such that as the tilt cylinder moves from an expanded to a contracted position, it rotates the first shaft in a first direction and the second shaft in an second opposite direction; and from a contracted to an expanded position, it rotates the first shaft in the second direction and the second shaft in the first direction, thereby changing the tilt of the implement. A height actuator is operatively connected between the frame and the tilt actuator and drives the first and second shafts in the same direction to change the height of the implement.

A work machine includes a vehicle body, traveling wheel, steering member, actuator, operation sensor, steering angle sensor, direction sensor, and a controller. The steering member is operable between left, right, and neutral steering ranges. The actuator sets a steering angle of the traveling wheel to a neutral angle when the steering member is in the neutral range, and changes the steering angle to left or right in response to operation of the steering member. The controller acquires operation, angle, and direction signals from the sensors. The controller determines whether the steering angle has returned to the neutral angle when the steering member has been operated from the left or right steering ranges to the neutral range. The controller determines the traveling direction when the steering angle has returned to the neutral angle, as a target direction. The controller controls the actuator to hold the traveling direction in the target direction.

A hydraulic system is provided for a working machine that includes a hydraulic cylinder for raising and lowering an implement. The hydraulic system includes a sensor for measuring a pressure in the hydraulic cylinder; and a control unit for controlling the movement of the hydraulic cylinder; wherein the control unit is configured to compare a pressure value measured by the sensor with a preset target pressure level range and to control the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder to be within the preset target pressure level range by adding or draining hydraulic fluid to/from a pressure side of the hydraulic cylinder for maintaining a substantially constant ground contact force between the implement and the ground.

A control method is performed in a motor grader, the motor grader including a blade between a front wheel and a rear wheel, the blade being attached to a swing circle which adjusts a blade angle. The control method includes detecting a load applied to the blade and revolving, when the detected load is larger in value than a predetermined reference value, the swing circle in such a direction that the blade angle is smaller than the blade angle at the time of detection of that value.

A scraper having a frame with a first removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame, a second removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame, a rear bucket pivotally coupled to the frame and having a dump position and a carry position, the rear bucket comprising a first rear sidewall positioned on a first side of the rear bucket and a second rear sidewall positioned on a second side of the rear bucket. Wherein, the first removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the first rear sidewall and the second removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the second rear sidewall. Further wherein, as the rear bucket transitions between the carry position and the dump position, the first and second removable sidewalls move relative to the surface of the corresponding first and second rear sidewalls.

A grading implement features a frame with at least one movable section carried by a main frame section. Each movable section is movable relative thereto between a storage position and a working position reaching further laterally outward from the main section to increase a working width of the implement. An underside of each movable section features a respective blade adjustably mounted thereto for selective adjustment between different relative blade positions relative to the movable section. One embodiment features outboard blades on two movable sections, inboard blades on another two movable sections, and a rear blade mounted centrally on the main section behind the inboard and outboard blades. A dust suppression system features spray nozzles distributed across the main frame section behind the blades, and storage tanks mounted atop the main section so that weight of the dust suppression agent provides extra downforce to the blades.

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.
