A bulldozer includes a control unit for controlling left and right steering clutches and left and right steering brakes, thereby executing a turning control of the vehicle. The control unit switches between a clutch control and a brake control on the basis of a differential between an actual turning radius and a target turning radius.

A tracked ATV includes a frame, a track coupled to the frame, and a power source supported by the frame and drivingly coupled to the track. The tracked ATV further includes a steering and drive assembly, which has a first hydraulic pump coupled to the tracks for large radius turns. The steering and drive assembly also has a second hydraulic pump coupled to the tracks for small radius turns.

A method for steering a machine while commanded to be in neutral, including: sensing that a transmission is in a neutral setting; applying one or more service brakes into a braking mode; ramping off a steering pump on a hydraulic steering system; sensing a steering command; releasing the one or more service brakes from the braking mode in response to sensing the steering command; and ramping on the steering pump on the hydraulic steering system.

Each zero turning radius mower steering lever module includes a one-piece plastic housing independently mounted on a grass mowing machine frame member. A central passage extends through each housing, and a steering arm bracket may be positioned in the central passage and pivotably mounted on a horizontal pivot axis. A steering arm may be attached to an upper end of the steering arm bracket, and a hydrostatic transmission linkage and a damper linkage attached to a lower end of the bracket.

A combine harvester is provided with: a threshing device that performs a threshing process of threshing a crop; a grain tank that stores grain obtained by the threshing process; a grain discharging device that discharges grain to be stored in the grain tank to the outside of the vehicle body; a travel driving device that drives travel of the vehicle body; and an engine that serves as a power source. The combine harvester includes a first relay shaft to which power is transmitted from an output shaft of the engine, and the power of the engine is transmitted from the first relay shaft to the grain discharging device and the travel driving device in a branched manner.

A work vehicle includes an engine mounted on a traveling body, a straight-traveling system transmission path including a first stepless transmission device, and a turning system transmission path including a second stepless transmission device, the work vehicle being configured to combine outputs of the straight-traveling system transmission path and an output of the turning system transmission paths to drive left and right traveling units. The work vehicle also includes control sections that control the outputs of the straight-traveling system transmission path and the output of the turning system transmission paths in cooperation with each other, a transmission operation tool that specifies the output of the straight-traveling system transmission path, and a detector that detects the output of the straight-traveling system transmission path. The control sections select one of an instruction value from the transmission operation tool and an actually measured value from the detector and set the output of the turning system transmission path.

A work vehicle including: an engine mounted on a traveling body; a straight-traveling system transmission path including a first stepless transmission device; and a turning system transmission path including a second stepless transmission device. The work vehicle combines an output of the straight-traveling system transmission path and an output of the turning system transmission path to drive left and right traveling units. The work vehicle further includes: control sections that control the output of the straight-traveling system transmission path and the output of the turning system transmission path in cooperation with each other; and a driving force blocking mechanism that blocks a driving force transfer from the straight-traveling system transmission path. When the driving force transfer from the straight-traveling system transmission path is blocked by the driving force blocking mechanism, the mutually reverse rotation operations of the left and right traveling units is inhibited.

In an all-wheel drive arrangement with low input torque especially for the skid-steer loaders controlled by a control unit, made up of battery, frequency converter, electric joystick and/or electro-hydraulic switchgear, both sides of the vehicle control include at least two wheels, each wheel connected to a planetary gearing. The gearing equipped with the infinite gear member (e.g. belt, chain) transfers the torque from the electric motor to each wheel on one side of the vehicle controlled, whereby the planetary gear directly drives the particular wheel.
