A machine system and method are disclosed to generally prevent the tire slip of a machine conducting work. The machine system utilizes a controller in operable communication with a lift cylinder and lift cylinder pressure signal responsively producing a signal corresponding to a pressure within the lift cylinder. The controller utilizing the lift cylinder pressure signal to determine a rimpull limit for the machine and operably adjusting a torque of the machine to the rimpull limit proactively.

A powertrain includes an internal combustion engine, an electric machine including a rotor, a geartrain including a pump drive mechanism, a first clutch and a second clutch and a variator for a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The internal combustion engine is rotatably coupled to the rotor of the electric machine by activation of a second clutch. The internal combustion engine is rotatably coupled to the variator by activation of first and second clutches. The rotor of the electric machine is rotatably coupled to the variator by activation of the first clutch, and the electric machine is operative in either a forward direction or a reverse direction. The geartrain is disposed to operate the pump drive mechanism to drive a fluidic pump in a first direction when the electric machine is operating in the forward direction and when the electric machine is operating in the reverse direction.

A control arrangement for use in a drive arrangement of a vehicle includes an engine, a hydrostatic transmission, a load sensing means configured to detect a load on the engine, and an engine speed controller for controlling the engine. The arrangement further includes a pressure control means configured to act on a pressure in the hydrostatic transmission and a drive controller. The load sensing means generates a first signal, and based on the first signal, the drive controller generates a second signal for the engine speed controller and the pressure control means.

In a transmission control device, a controller determines failure of a rotation sensor. A hydraulic control circuit and the controller variably control a speed ratio of a variator, and in a case where the failure is determined, execute first control of restricting a shift range of the variator. The hydraulic control circuit and the controller variably control a gear position of a sub-transmission mechanism, and in a case where the failure is determined, execute second control of fixing the gear position of the sub-transmission mechanism to first speed. The hydraulic control circuit and the controller execute the second control at a different timing from the first control in a case where the gear position of the sub-transmission mechanism upon a determination of the failure is second speed.

A control device for hybrid vehicle is configured to transmit a torque generated by an engine and a motor to a power transmission member according to a driving power request from a driver. The control device for hybrid vehicle includes motor control means and transmission capacity control means. The motor control means is configured to control an output from the motor according to the driving power request. The transmission capacity control means is configured to control a transmission capacity of the power transmission member. The transmission capacity control means is configured to increase the transmission capacity in consideration of a variation of the output from the motor when the output from the motor is increased based on the driving power request. The motor control means is configured to increase the output from the motor after the transmission capacity is increased in consideration of the variation of the output from the motor when the output from the motor is increased based on the driving power request.
