A system for reducing loader arm movement during operation of a work vehicle includes a sensor configured to capture data indicative of an angle of a loader arm of the vehicle relative to the vehicle chassis. A controller of the disclosed system is configured to control the operation of a valve of the vehicle such that fluid from a pump of the vehicle is supplied to first and second chambers of a fluid-driven actuator of the vehicle to initiate a ride control mode. Moreover, the controller is configured to monitor the angle of the loader arm relative to the chassis based on the data captured by the sensor. In addition, the controller is configured to control the operation of the pump based on the monitored angle after the ride control mode has been initiated.

A work machine includes a load bucket and operator controls for controlling position of the load bucket. The work machine can include an actuator assembly coupled to hold the load bucket in a position based upon signals from the operator controls. The actuator assembly can include a motor and a brake assembly. The brake assembly can include a non-spring-coupled brake and a spring-coupled brake. The work machine can further include control circuitry coupled to the actuator assembly to activate the spring-coupled brake responsive to detection that the non-spring-coupled brake is holding the load bucket stationary. The control circuitry can further control the motor to apply additional braking force upon detecting that a magnitude of oscillation of the work machine exceeds a threshold magnitude based on a damping coefficient of the spring-coupled brake.

The present disclosure relates to an implement connectable to a work vehicle. The implement includes an arm, a fastening arrangement arranged at a first part of the arm, and an attaching arrangement. The fastening arrangement is connectable to the work vehicle an attaching arrangement is arranged at second part of the arm. The attaching arrangement is attachable to a tool. The implement further includes a first hydraulic circuit configured to carry hydraulic fluid to at least one first hydraulic function. The first hydraulic function comprises a lifting function. The implement further includes at least one second sensor arranged to obtain sensor signals at least related to the lifting function, a local control element and a digital interface to the work vehicle.

A control device receives, from an engine load sensor device, a value of an engine load of an engine of an equipment operating in an operating environment. The control device compares the value of the engine load to a target engine load range defined by a minimum target engine load value and a maximum target engine load value. Responsive to determining that the value of the engine load is less than the minimum target engine load value, the control device lowers a cutting blade of the equipment to increase an engagement of the cutting blade with a surface or subsurface. Responsive to determining that the engine load is greater than the maximum target engine load value, the control device raises the cutting blade of the equipment to decrease the engagement of the cutting blade with the surface or subsurface.

Automated operation methods and systems are provided for power machines. One system includes implementing ride control for an electric power machine. The system may include an electronic processor configured to determine a target lift position and an initial electric current for holding a load at the target lift position. The electronic processor may also be configured to determine, based on a positional deviation of the load from the target lift position, an updated electric current for returning the load to the target lift position. The electronic processor may also be configured to control an electric lift actuator to return the load to the target lift position using the updated electric current.

A lift arm structure for a power machine with a frame can include a lift arm and an electrical lift actuator. The lift arm can be configured to be movably secured to the frame to extend along a lateral side of the frame. The electrical lift actuator can be secured to the lift arm within a pocket defined by the lift arm and can be configured to extend and retract between the lift arm and the frame of the power machine to raise and lower the lift arm.
