A device for influencing vertical dynamics of an agricultural vehicle includes a mass mounted on the agricultural vehicle, a positioning system for controlling movement of the mass in vertical direction, a sensor device configured to detect a surface profile of an upcoming vehicle path segment, and an electronic control unit adapted to calculate an expected disturbance input for the upcoming vehicle path segment based on the detected surface profile. The electronic control unit operably controls the positioning system to execute a compensation movement of the vehicle that reduces the expected disturbance input by means of the mass.

An add-on wheel weight for a work machine that includes a weight disc and a mounting configured to attach to a wheel rim. The weight disc includes a closure mechanism that may be actuated manually or by outside force. The closure mechanism has an axially running guide opening configured to receive a coupling element associated with the mounting and has a releasable locking element for latching the coupling element inside the guide opening.

Ballast for operating machines, having a portion removably couplable to a hooking seat of the operating machine, characterized by having a fixed part is provided. The couplable portion, a movable part and means for constraining the movable part to the fixed part at a plurality of distinct (D, D, D) distances from the fixed part are provided, so as to change the center of gravity position of the operating machine.

A ballast arrangement for a rail vehicle includes at least one ballast device. The at least one ballast device has a concrete weight body, at least one built-in metal reinforcement, and at least one securing device built into the weight body. There is also described a method for producing a ballast arrangement according to the invention.

A method for making available a ballasting proposal for an agricultural tractor includes providing an implement for the tractor, calculating a target tractive power for the implement for each axle of the agricultural tractor, and deriving a target value for an axle load to be maintained on each axle based upon a function of the calculated target tractive power. The method further includes determining an actual axle load on each axle, comparing the target value to the actual axle load, calculating an axle ballasting value based on a result of the comparing step required to maintain the target valve, and outputting the ballasting value.

Apparatuses are configured to modify wet subgrades prepare the same for constructions, namely for building roads and/or buildings thereon. The soil modification apparatuses spread mineral material from a truck having increased traction for maneuvering over the wet subgrades. Methods of using the same are further provided.

A work vehicle includes: a chassis; a first axle carried by the chassis; a pair of first wheels rotatably coupled to the first axle; a first weight sensor associated with the first axle and configured to output a first weight signal; a second axle carried by the chassis; a pair of second wheels rotatably coupled to the second axle; a second weight sensor associated with the second axle and configured to output a second weight signal; and a controller operatively coupled to the first and second weight sensors. The controller is configured to: receive the first and second weight signals; determine a weight distribution of the work vehicle based on the received first and second weight signals; analyze the determined weight distribution to determine at least one recommended operating parameter; and output a recommendation signal based on the at least one recommended operating parameter.

Provided is a work vehicle having an improved obstacle detection accuracy. The work vehicle includes: a bonnet provided on a front portion of a travelling vehicle body; an obstacle sensor that detects an obstacle on a front side; and a sensor attaching stay configured to extend toward a front side of the bonnet and to allow the obstacle sensor to be attached thereto.

A ballasting device for an agricultural vehicle includes a ballasting body, a first ballasting arm, and a second ballasting arm. The first ballasting arm is pivotally mounted on the ballasting body about a first bearing axis on one end and a first ballasting weight is arranged at the other end thereof. The second ballasting arm is pivotally mounted on the ballasting body about a second bearing axis at one end and a second ballasting weight is arranged at the other end thereof. The ballasting device includes a receiving device for receiving the ballasting device via a three-point hitch device of the agricultural vehicle. The first ballasting weight is adjustable by the first ballasting arm and the second ballasting weight is adjustable by the second ballasting arm.

The invention relates to a work machine (1, 1.1, 1.2) comprising: a work unit (2, 2.1, 2.2) or a receptacle (16) for a work unit, exactly one primary vehicle axis (3), wheel elements (4) arranged on both sides of the primary vehicle axis (3), drive units associated with the wheel elements (4), at least one control, wherein the control comprises at least one control circuit and effects a self-balancing of the work machine (1, 1.1, 1.2) about the main vehicle axis (3), and a counter-weight (5), wherein a position of the counter-weight (5) relative to the primary vehicle axis (3) is controllable via the control, and therefore the work machine (1, 1.1, 1.2) can be balanced about the primary vehicle axis (3) and controlled in the movement directions thereof via a position shift of the counter-weight (5).
