A working machine includes a prime mover, a traveling pump driven by power of the prime mover to deliver hydraulic fluid, a traveling motor rotated by the hydraulic fluid delivered from the traveling pump, an operation valve configured to change a pilot pressure of pilot fluid output therefrom to the traveling pump according to operation of an operation member, an actuation valve to be activated according to a control signal so as to change a primary pressure supplied to the operation valve, a controller to perform setting of the control signal to be output to the actuation valve, and a pressure detection device to detect a secondary pressure output from the operation valve. The controller includes a setting change unit to change, based on the primary pressure and the secondary pressure, the setting of the control signal to be output to the actuation valve.

The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic drive system having a hydraulic circuit architecture operable in first and second modes. In a first mode, a main hydraulic pump (22) is used to drive a hydraulic actuator (24) via a closed hydraulic circuit, and a charge pump (42) provides charge flow to the closed hydraulic circuit. In a second mode the main pump set to zero displacement and the charge pump (42) is used to drive the hydraulic actuator (24).

The invention relates to a method for monitoring a functional state of a pressure-driven actuator which comprises an actuator compartment defined at least in portions by a flexibly deformable wall, the actuator being actuated by applying pressure to the actuator compartment by means of an operating pressure supply, a work process being carried out to actuate the actuator, which process is accompanied by the actuator transitioning from a starting configuration to an end configuration. The pressure the pressure applied to the actuator compartment is measured depending on time by means of a sensor apparatus during the transition from the starting configuration to the end configuration. The invention also relates to a pressure-driven actuator.

Improvements to a hydro-mechanical transmission based on fixed displacement pump/motors rather than variable displacement pump/motors are disclosed. These include rpm-changing gears on the input and the output pump/motors which allow the pump/motors to be operated at their maximum rated rpm and facilitate compact packaging. A novel selectable clutch configuration is part of the packaging arrangement. The addition of a two-speed all mechanical transmission on the output extends the useful range of a mechanical bypass of the hydraulic transmission intended for cruising.
