Front wheel drive based power transfer unit (PTU) with hydraulically actuated disconnect
An arrangement of a vehicle is provided having normal transverse engine/transmission normal two-wheel drive operation which can be selectively placed into four-wheel drive operation wherein a pump which powers the coupling or uncoupling can be positioned downstream of a power takeoff unit without utilization of an electrically powered pump or transmission powered pump.
DRIVE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AN AGRICULTURAL APPLICATOR
A drive system for an agricultural vehicle can include a power plant operably coupled with a chassis and a propulsion pump unit. A sensor can be configured to provide data indicative of one or more operational conditions. A computing system can be operably coupled with the sensor, a first propulsion motor, a second propulsion motor, a third propulsion motor, and a fourth propulsion motor. The computing system can be configured to detect one or more operational conditions based on data from the sensor, and assign each of the propulsion motors to a first set or a second set when one or more defined operational conditions are detected based on one or more assignment parameters, and control a flow rate of the first set to operate at a first flow rate and the second set to operate at a second flow rate.

Handling wheel slip in a vehicle
A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to handle wheel slip a vehicle is provided. The vehicle comprises a first axle. The first axle comprises at least two wheels. Each of the at least two wheels of the first axle is drivable by at least two hydraulic motors. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain a slip condition of the vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to, based on the obtained slip condition, trigger an adjustment of pressure and/or flow to be supplied to at least one of the at least two hydraulic motors in the vehicle. Triggering the adjustment comprises triggering an adjustment of pressure and/or flow between at least two hydraulic motors, and/or triggering adjustment of pressure and/or flow supplied by a source.
Motorized module for goods transport and control method for said motorized module
A motorized module for goods transport has a loading platform; at least a first and at least a second axle each provided with at least one respective rolling body on the ground, a respective mechanical speed reducer, a respective releasable angular connection joint interposed between a respective hydraulic motor for driving the axle and the respective rolling body, and an electronic unit for controlling the hydraulic motors and the angular connection joints as a function of the advancement speed of the module and being activated in succession as the advancement speed of the module itself varies.
