In some implementations, a controller may cause a gearbox coupled to a rotor to shift between a first gear ratio and a second gear ratio one or more times. The controller may obtain a first set of position data that identifies respective first positions of a gear selector of the gearbox for each shift to the first gear ratio, and a second set of position data that identifies respective second positions of the gear selector of the gearbox for each shift to the second gear ratio. The controller may determine a first calibrated position of the gear selector for a shift to the first gear ratio based on the first set of position data and a second calibrated position of the gear selector for a shift to the second gear ratio based on the second set of position data.

A work machine, such as a skid steer loader or a compact track loader, includes a directional air intake assembly with a directional cap positioned on an intake pipe for selectively drawing ambient air into an internal combustion engine. A cooling vent ejects air heated by a rear-mounted engine upwardly into the atmosphere. Extending higher than and adjacent to the cooling vent, the directional cap has an elongated head that blocks ingress to the intake pipe other than through an opening at a face of the cap. Selectively positioning and angling the opening between a side of the loader and an edge of the cooling vent avoids taking in debris from near the wheels or tracks, avoids taking in heated air from the cooling vent, and takes advantage of negative pressure caused by the updraft from the cooling vent to remove particulates, resulting in cleaner air for the engine at close to ambient temperature.

A technique is directed to methods and systems for detecting the presence of a machine operator. In some implementations, an operator presence system monitors a machine to determine whether an operator is present in an operating machine. The operator presence system collects input data from sensors or devices on the machine and determines whether the operator is in the operator seat. During operation, if an operator is determined to not be in the operator seat, the operator presence system can generate and send notifications (e.g., visual or audible warnings) to alert the operator to sit in the operator seat.

A hydrostatic traction drive has a steering function, which is implemented via two laterally acting secondary units (traction motors), which are supplied by a common primary unit (pump) in the open circuit. The primary unit is pressure-controlled. The two secondary units are torque-controlled. The affected vehicle is steerable as a function of a steering command by different torque specifications for the two secondary units. Furthermore, a hydrostatic drive for a mobile work machine has working hydraulics in addition to the traction drive. The working hydraulics are also supplied by the primary unit in parallel to the two secondary units.

The first fastening device is at least partially receivable within the first through-aperture. The axle oscillation stop further includes a second fastening device adapted to removably couple the second plate with the frame. The second fastening device is at least partially receivable within the second through-aperture.

A control system for a construction machine includes a tilt sensor for detecting an inclination angle of the construction machine parked on a slope, a door latch device including a lock/unlock actuator configured to lock/unlock a door of the construction machine according to a door lock control signal and a door unlock control signal and a release actuator configured to release the door according to a door release control signal, and a smart key module configured to output the door unlock control signal and the door release control signal when the inclination angle of the construction machine is within a preset safe range in case that an unlocking event signal is detected while a smart key is recognized.
