A work vehicle includes a vehicle body, running gear to cause the vehicle body to travel, a height adjuster to change a height of a center of gravity of the vehicle body, and a controller configured or programmed to, in accordance with at least one of a turning radius and an angular velocity of the vehicle body during a turn, control the height adjuster to maintain or lower the height of the center of gravity.

Systems and methods for targeted illumination of an object coupled to a machine, such as an implement coupled to an agricultural vehicle, are disclosed. The systems and methods include sensing an area adjacent to the machine, determining whether an implement is present in the sensed area, and providing targeted illumination to the detected object while avoiding the provision of light to the area that is not occupied by the object.

Electric vehicles include adjustable battery positions and/or adjustable track widths for controlling vehicle stability. In some examples, an electric vehicle comprises a positioning mechanism configured to move the battery pack relative to the support structure (e.g., operable as the vehicle's frame) to change the vehicle's COG. The battery pack can be moved in response to other vehicle operations, e.g., COG changes caused by adding/moving loads, changes to the route grade, and the like. The battery pack can be slidably coupled to the support structure. In some examples, an electric vehicle comprises a track adjustment mechanism configured to move the vehicle's wheel axle relative to the support structure, along the wheel axle center axis, thereby changing the track width. The wheel axle can be coupled to a hub motor. In some examples, the battery is moved, and/or the track width is changed during the vehicle's operation.

A main ballasting weight (10) straight from the foundry for a farming tractor, comprising upper faces and lower faces (11, 12), two faces (13, 14) oriented transversely to the direction of movement of the tractor, and two lateral faces (15, 16) to parallel to the direction of movement of the tractor, said lower face comprising dovetail type means of connection (121, 122) to provide an anchoring with a secondary weight, said upper face forming an upper plate comprising a means of pre-positioning and centring (110) of a box (20) designed to be mounted on said main weight, said lateral faces (15, 16) being able to cooperate with lateral flanges (22, 23) of said box which are is attached bearing against said lateral faces and having fixation orifices (150) able to receive fixation screws cooperating with said lateral flanges for the fixation of said box to said main weight.

There is provided a work vehicle including a partition wall to keep partition between a first space zone as part of an internal space of the transmission case in which a differential mechanism is located and a second space zone as part of the internal space which is adjacent to the first space zone. An upper space is disposed above the partition wall and configured to allow lubricating oil scooped up from the first space zone by a ring gear to flow in the second space zone. A flow-out path is disposed below the upper space and configured to allow the lubricating oil to flow out of the second space zone to the first space zone.

An axle assembly is provided for a working machine. The axle assembly includes an axle having first and second ends, the first end having a first wheel mount for pivotably mounting a first wheel to the axle and the second end having a second wheel mount for pivotably mounting a second wheel to the axle. The assembly has a steering arrangement for pivoting the first and second wheel mounts relative to the axle, the steering arrangement having a linkage connected to the first and second wheel mounts and configured to pivot the first and second wheel mounts relative to the axle. The steering arrangement also includes an actuator configured to actuate the steering linkage in order to effect pivoting of the first and second wheel mounts, and the actuator is directly connected to the steering linkage.

A hydraulic system of a vehicle includes a hydraulic pump with variable delivery capacity. The hydraulic pump is controllable as a function of a load and operatively connected to a drive of the vehicle. The system includes a first brake system for reducing a speed of the vehicle by at least one friction brake, and a permanent brake system being independent of the first brake system and configured to reduce the speed of the vehicle. The permanent brake system includes a first retarder circuit which cooperates with the hydraulic pump such that kinetic energy is removed from the vehicle by the permanent brake system via the hydraulic pump in order to decelerate the vehicle.

A work vehicle is provided with a support member that supports an output shaft of a wheel differential mechanism between a differential case and a planetary reduction mechanism. The support member is configured to engage the output shaft relatively immovably in a direction along the axis of the output shaft.

A wheel adjustment system for an agricultural implement includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a ground speed of the agricultural implement, receive a second signal indicative of a desired position of a wheel of the agricultural implement, receive a third signal indicative of a current position of the wheel of the agricultural implement, and output a control signal to adjust a position of the wheel of the agricultural implement based on the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal, wherein a rate of adjustment of the position of the wheel varies based on the first signal.

One embodiment describes a control system in an automation system including a first portion located at a first vehicle, which includes a first autonomous module that autonomously controls operation of the first vehicle to perform operations in a first area based at least in part on a first target operation result while the first portion is in an autonomous mode; and a second portion located at a second vehicle, in which the second portion includes a second autonomous module that autonomously controls operation of the second vehicle to perform operations in a second area based at least in part on a second target operation result while the second portion is in the autonomous mode and a first command module that determines the first target operation result and the second target operation result based at least in part on a global plan that indicates a total target operation result.
