This invention relates to power takeoff devices (PTOs), which are useful for mounting on transmissions and for performing, directly or indirectly, useful work via the PTO's rotatable output shaft. A system and method designed for quick and convenient installation of a PTO and an attachment element. In some embodiments, the attachment element is an adapter configured to secure a transmission and the PTO is configured to attach to the adapter.

An electric work vehicle includes a battery, a motor positioned under the battery and drivable on electric power supplied by the battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, an inverter positioned under the battery and forward of the motor to convert direct-current electric power from the battery into alternating-current electric power and supply the alternating-current electric power to the motor, and a transmission positioned backward of the battery to transmit a driving force of the motor to the travel device, wherein the motor and the inverter are arranged in a front-back direction of a machine body.

An electric work vehicle includes a travel battery, an auxiliary battery, a motor drivable on electric power supplied by the travel battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, a voltage converter positioned forward of the travel battery to step down a voltage of electric power from the travel battery and supply the electric power to the auxiliary battery, and a radiator positioned forward of the travel battery, wherein the voltage converter and the radiator are laterally next to each other in a plan view.

An electric work vehicle includes a work device, a battery, a motor drivable on electric power supplied by the battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, and a hydraulic pump positioned next to the motor and drivable by the motor to supply operating fluid to an operating mechanism of the work device.

A transmission lubrication system for a vehicle providing a continuous return flow of a lubricant. The transmission lubrication system includes a differential housing, a transmission housing, a lubricant tank, a suction line, a lubricant pump, and an air suction pump. The transmission housing is connected to the differential housing in an air-tight manner and a lubricant through-passage is provided between the transmission housing and the differential housing. The lubricant tank is provided in the differential housing and has a lubricant suction opening in a lower region. The lubricant pump conveys lubricant from the lubricant tank through the suction line and conducts the lubricant to the lubrication points in the differential housing and transmission housing. The air suction pump pumps air from the lubricant tank into the transmission housing so that an excess air pressure is maintained in the transmission housing.

A military vehicle include a driveline. The driveline includes a first driver including an engine, an energy storage system, an accessory drive coupled to the engine, a transmission coupled to at least one of the front axle or the rear axle, and a second driver coupled to the engine and the transmission. The accessory drive includes a plurality of accessories and a first motor. The first motor is electrically coupled to the energy storage system. The first motor is positioned to facilitate selectively driving the plurality of accessories. The second driver includes a second motor electrically coupled to the energy storage system.

A machine with a tool rotor (100) comprising at least two hydraulic motors (112, 122), which are connected to each other and may be connected via at least one inlet conduit (201, 203,) and at least one outlet conduit (202, 204) with a hydraulic source of a machine (200) that carries and/or tows the machine (200) (100) and each hydraulic motor is respectively connected, via a taper roller bearing (111, 123) that supports a respective shaft (104, 107), with a belt drive (102, 103) that drives a shaft (108) of a tool rotor respectively connected to one end of the shaft (108) of the tool rotor (101). At least one distributor is interposed between the hydraulic motors, and remote electronic adjustment of displacement/volume of at least one hydraulic motor is controlled.
