A steering assistance system for an agricultural vehicle includes a rigid axle on which steerable wheels are mounted and which is mounted so as to float relative to a supporting vehicle structure. The system includes a steering angle sensor for detecting a steering angle of the steerable wheels, a swing angle sensor for determining a swing angle of the rigid axle relative to the supporting vehicle structure, an actuating arrangement for influencing the steering angle, and a control unit that calculates a threshold value permissible for the steering angle depending on the detected swing angle. If the detected steering angle exceeds a tolerance range specified for the threshold value, the control unit executes steering interventions for reducing the steering angle by activating the actuating arrangement to satisfy the threshold value.

An agricultural baler including a chassis, an axle system, a main bale chamber carried by the chassis, and a tying assembly configured for tying a twine around a bale within the main bale chamber. The tying assembly includes a plurality of knotters supported by the chassis, a needle yoke having a plurality of needles coupled thereto, an upper tensioner device, and a lower tensioner device located underneath the upper tensioner device. The axle system includes a first axle, and the lower tensioner device is attached to the first axle and correspondingly moves with the first axle.

Described herein are methods and systems of a chassis of a commercial electric vehicle. In various embodiments, the chassis may include a ladder frame with a plurality of frame rails. Batteries and drive units may be packaged within the frame rails of the ladder frame. The chassis may further include an independent front suspension and batteries may be disposed between the suspension members of the independent front suspension.

Described herein are methods and systems of a rear axle of a commercial electric vehicle. In various embodiments, the rear axle includes a curved de Dion axle that includes stub axles, CV cups, each configured to receive a portion of a CV axle, and a central portion disposed downward and rearward of the stub axles. The rear axle includes a curved form factor to allow for a portion of an electric drive unit to be disposed in a manner where a hub centerline connecting the stub axles intersects the electric drive unit.

A vehicle includes a support structure and a suspension for an oscillatingly supported, rigid axle body. The suspension has a suspension device which is located between the axle body and the support structure and acts in a height direction of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes a plurality of coupling sites and a transverse link extending in a transverse direction of the vehicle. The transverse link is coupled to the support structure via a first link area and via a second link area and a pendulum support to the axle body. The transverse link includes a third link area which, with reference to the pendulum support in the transverse direction of the vehicle, is located opposite the first link area and is flexibly connected with a coupling site of the suspension device.
