VEHICLE SYSTEM WITH HYDROMECHANICAL TRANSMISSION AND POWER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Methods and systems for a hydromechanical transmission are provided herein. In one example, a vehicle system is provided that includes a hydromechanical transmission with a power-take off (PTO) that is designed to rotationally couple to an implement. The vehicle system further includes an engine coupled to the hydromechanical transmission and a power-management control unit configured to, during a drive or coast condition, cause the power-management control unit to: determine a net available power for the hydromechanical transmission and manage a power flow between the hydromechanical transmission, a drive axle, and the implement based on the net available power.

Drop-box transmission in a reduced space
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a transmission that provide power to a front axle, and fits in taller box to provide more room for the transmission. The transmission can comprise a front input shaft that receives rotational power from an engine. A front output shaft is coupled with a front axle to provide the rotational power, conditioned by the transmission, to the front axle. A rear riser gear set can be couple to the rear of the transmission to provide power from the bottom portion of the transmission to a bevel gear set that couples with, and provide rotational power to, a rear axle. In this way, the space between a rear axle centerline and front axle center line can be used by the transmission, allowing for a taller transmission to fit in the chassis.
