A power take-off (PTO) drive assembly for a transmission includes a shaft defining a shaft axis, a PTO gear defined radially about the shaft axis, and a clutch assembly positioned between the shaft and the PTO gear and having an engaged position and a disengaged position. When the clutch assembly is in the engaged position, torque is transferred from the shaft to the PTO gear. When the clutch assembly is in the disengaged position, torque is not transferred from the shaft to the PTO gear.

To provide a work vehicle that does not include a forward-reverse lever and is capable of stopping transmission of drive to a PTO shaft at a low cost when the vehicle is stopped or is moving backward. A work vehicle includes: a PTO shaft configured to transmit power to a work machine; a transmission; a forward pedal to be operated to move a traveling vehicle body forward; a switch configured to determine whether the forward pedal is operated; and a PTO clutch configured to switch the power to the PTO shaft to a non-transmission state when it is determined that the forward pedal is not operated based on a determination result of the switch. The forward pedal is provided on one of left and right sides of the transmission, and the switch is provided on the other of the left and right sides of the transmission.

An example system includes a motor/generator selectively coupled to a drive line of a vehicle, and configured to selectively modulate power transfer between an electrical load and the drive line; a battery pack; a DC/DC converter electrically interposed between the motor/generator and the electrical load, and between the battery pack and the electrical load; a covering tray positioned over a plurality of batteries of the battery pack, the covering tray comprising a connectivity layer that has a charging circuit allowing each of the plurality of batteries to be discharged individually; a plurality of battery microcontrollers, each of the plurality of battery microcontrollers associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of batteries of the battery pack; and a primary DC/DC controller configured to command operations of the DC/DC converter; wherein the plurality of battery microcontrollers are operationally coupled to the primary DC/DC controller.

In a work vehicle according to the present invention, a control device calculates, for each of a plurality of speed-changing stages in a PTO transmission, an expected maximum rotational speed of PTO rotary power that is output from the PTO shaft when an engine rotational speed changing operation member is operated to a maximum extent, and shows, in a listed manner, the calculated results in a liquid crystal display part of a display device. The present invention can inform an operator of the maximum rotational speed of PTO rotary power that is output from the PTO shaft for each speed-changing stage in the PTO transmission without performing a speed changing operation on the PTO transmission.

A method and apparatus for delivering power to a hybrid vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus includes an apparatus for delivering power to a hybrid vehicle, the hybrid vehicle including a powertrain having a power take-off coupling, the powertrain including an engine and a transmission. The apparatus includes an electric motor operable to generate a torque, the motor being coupled to transmit a starting torque through the power take-off of the powertrain for starting the engine.

A power take-off system and method is provided for a vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine, an electrical generator, an electrical machine, a power take-off summing planetary and a power take-off brake. The power take-off system includes a controller and a human-machine interface. The controller is configured to receive an input from the human-machine interface to select one of a variable speed power take-off mode, an electrical power generation mode, and a full power fixed ratio power take-off mode of operation. In the variable speed power take-off mode, electrical power from the electrical generator and rotational power by the power take-off system are output, and the electrical machine receives electricity and provides rotational power. In the electrical power generation mode, the electrical generator and the electrical machine both provide electrical power. In the full power fixed ratio mode, no electrical power is provided.

A power take-off (PTO) arrangement is provided for transferring power between a work vehicle and an implement. The PTO arrangement includes a PTO shaft having a PTO flange; and a PTO transmission unit having an input shaft coupled to the work vehicle, an output shaft coupled to the PTO shaft, and a gear set coupling the input shaft to the output shaft such that the power is transferred at a speed ratio selected from at least two speed ratios. A PTO speed control system has a sensor arrangement proximate to the PTO shaft and configured to sense data associated with the PTO flange and generate a PTO flange output signal based on the PTO flange data and a control unit and configured to selectively enable and disable operation of the PTO arrangement based on the PTO flange output signal and the selected speed ratio.
