Propel system with active pump displacement control for balancing propel pump pressures in agricultural vehicles

A propel system of an agricultural vehicle has an active pump displacement control system for equalizing or balancing pressure output of hydrostatic pumps of a tandem pump propel arrangement. The active pump displacement control system may include a pressure sensor(s) for determining output pressure of hydrostatic pumps and use the output pressure values within a feedback loop to provide coil input values of coils that control displacement of the hydrostatic pumps so that the pressure outputted by the hydrostatic pumps can be equalized in real-time while on the go during use of the agricultural vehicle.

System and method for executing straight tracking control of a work vehicle

A method for executing straight tracking control may include receiving an input command(s) associated with controlling the operation of a first-side drive system and/or a second-side drive system of a hydrostatic transmission of a work vehicle to drive the vehicle along a straight path. The method may also include receiving first and second speed signals associated with the output speeds of the drive systems, and modifying the first speed signal or the second speed signal based on a speed scaling factor to generate a corrected speed signal. In addition, the method may include determining an adjusted control command for controlling the operation of the hydrostatic transmission as a function of the input command(s) and a control output determined based on the corrected speed signal. Further, the method may include controlling the operation of the hydrostatic transmission based at least in part on the adjusted control command.

System for controlling the torsional output of a hydrostatic transmission of a work vehicle

In one aspect, a system for controlling the torsional output of a hydrostatic transmission of a work vehicle may include pilot-operated first and second valves. The first valve configured to be actuated to a closed position to occlude fluid flow through a first fluid conduit when a pressure within such conduit at a location downstream of the first valve drops below a first threshold. Moreover, the second valve configured to be actuated to a closed position to occlude fluid flow when a pressure within the second fluid conduit at a location downstream of the second valve drops below a second threshold. As such, when one of the first or second valves is actuated to the closed position, an increased flow of fluid is delivered through the other of the first valve or the second valve to increase a torsional output of an associated hydraulic motor.
