A vehicle transmission may include a differential comprising a carrier and at least one torque receiver fixed to the carrier, a first torque input having a first torque transmitter directly connected to with the at least one torque receiver of the carrier, and a second torque input having a second torque transmitter directly connected to the at least one torque receiver of the carrier.

The disclosure relates to a steering control system useful for providing stable control during high-speed operation of harvesters, such as self-propelled windrowers. The steering control system utilizes a sensor for detecting and regulating a position of a single steering cylinder associated with a first caster, a damper being free of sensing and providing passive damping to the second caster.

A rotary position sensor senses rotation of a first member, having a first torque coupling surface, about an axis relative to a second member by sensing movement of a torque receiving component of the rotary. The isolator may include a mount, a linkage and a torsion spring. The linkage is to be coupled to the torque receiving component of the rotary sensor. The linkage has a second torque coupling surface separable from the first torque coupling surface by a play gap, wherein during rotation of the first member, the first torque coupling surface is to contact the second torque coupling surface to transmit torque to the linkage. The torsion spring is captured between the mount and the linkage independent of the torque receiving component to resiliently bias the second torque coupling surface through the play gap and into engagement with the first torque coupling surface.

A drive mechanism comprises a flywheel, a flywheel damper removably connected to the flywheel, a pump drive, and an intermediate shaft. The pump drive comprises a housing, an input shaft mounted to the housing for rotation relative thereto about an axis of rotation, and a seal surrounding the input shaft to establish a sealed connection therewith. The intermediate shaft is co-axial with the input shaft relative to the axis of rotation and removably connected to the flywheel damper and the input shaft. The seal is replaceable. An associated method for replacing the seal is disclosed.

A work vehicle may include a load sensor, an engine, a drive train driven by the engine and a track system including at least one track. The track system is connected to the drive train. The work vehicle may further comprise a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature and a vehicle control system configured to receive the sensed temperature and a vehicle load from the load sensor. The vehicle control system is configured to output a work speed vehicle alert based upon a combination of the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor and the vehicle load sensed by the load sensor.

A cooling system may include a skeleton frame having a central opening to receive and frame at least one cooling core. The skeleton frame has an interior to contain at least one conduit through which at least one fluid to be cooled may flow to the at least one cooling core. The cooling system may further include a skin wrapping over and about the skeleton frame to seal the interior of the skeleton frame.

A work vehicle may include an engine, a drive train driven by the engine, and a track system including at least one track. The track system is connected to the drive train. The work vehicle may further include a temperature sensor configured to sense a track temperature of the at least one track and a vehicle control system configured to receive the track temperature and to determine misalignment of the at least one track based at least in part upon the sensed track temperature.

A power transmission system is disclosed for infinitely variable speed capability. The power transmission system includes a pair of power units, each configured to deliver a rotational torque to drive an output element. A transmission arrangement receives the rotational torques from the power units and delivers a resulting torque to the output element. The transmission arrangement includes a gear set coupling the one power unit to the output element to deliver torque through a mechanical meshing engagement that is continuously effected between the first power unit and the output element.

An HST of the present invention includes a main plate and a sub-plate supporting a center section, a pump-side swash plate holder and a motor-side swash plate holder by their inner surfaces facing each other. The main plate is provided with an extended region that extends farther outward in a planar direction of the main plate than an installation space of the center section, the pump-side swash plate holder and the motor-side swash plate holder and than the sub-plate as viewed along a direction in which the main plate and the sub-plate face each other.

A harvester includes: a crop tank that stores a crop harvested by a harvesting device; a weight detection unit that detects a storage weight, which is a value indicating the weight of the crop stored in the crop tank; a maximum weight calculation unit that calculates a maximum weight, which is a value indicating the weight of the crop at the maximum storage amount of the crop tank; a unit harvest weight calculation unit calculates a unit harvest weight that indicates the weight of the crop harvested per unit of harvest-travel distance; and a maximum travel distance calculation unit that calculates a maximum travel distance, which is the maximum distance that can be traveled during traveling harvesting before the amount of the crop stored in the crop tank reaches the maximum storage amount, based on the storage weight, the maximum weight, and the unit harvest weight.
