An agricultural vehicle is provided herein that includes a chassis operably coupled with a powertrain control system. A boom assembly is operably coupled with the chassis. One or more nozzles is positioned along the boom assembly. A flow control assembly is configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product from a tank through the one or more nozzles. A controller is operably coupled with the powertrain control system and the boom assembly. The controller includes a processor and associated memory with the memory storing instructions that, when implemented by the processor, configure the controller to receive instructions to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle and alter a flow rate of the agricultural product through actuation of the flow control assembly in response to receiving instructions to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle.

The present invention comprises a trailer main frame with a first rocker assembly and a second rocker assembly pivotally attached to the trailer main frame wherein the rocker assemblies are attached to leveling means such as but not limited to hydraulic and or air system between the trailer main frame and the rocker assemblies.

A device together with an assigned working machine for decoupling vibrations between two systems (2, 4) in the form of spring-mass oscillators, of which one system (2) is assigned to a motion machine and the other system (4) is assigned to an operator operating the motion machine. The other system (4) at least partially performs motions about a transverse axis (Q) during driving motions of the motion machine and in doing so is subject to vertical motions in the direction of a vertical axis (z) at an absolute vertical speed (v.sub.z1,1) serving as an input variable of control devices and/or regulating devices. Those devices control a damping system (8) of the one system (2) and/or the other system (4) to compensate for the vibrations. The respective pitch motion of the other system (4) is detected by at least one rotation rate sensor. The respective measured value (ω.sub.1) of the sensor, preferably amplified by only a predeterminable factor (L.sub.1), results in the absolute vertical speed (v.sub.z1,1) as input variable.

A vehicle suspension position adjustment arrangement including a frame member having a plurality of apertures, and a trailing arm having a first end pivotally coupled to a slide member and a second end biased away from the frame member. A locking pin movable between an unlocked position where the locking pin is withdrawn from one of the apertures and the slide member is free to slide along the frame member, and a locked position where the locking pin engages one of the apertures preventing the slide member from sliding along the frame member, and a plurality of sensors spaced along the frame member, wherein a single sensor of the plurality of sensors is configured to sense both the locking condition of the locking pin and the location of the locking pin along the frame member.

A cabin suspension system, adapted to be used in a forestry vehicle, comprising an operator cabin, adapted to control the forest vehicle, spring dampers, mountable between the operator cabin and a vehicle frame, magnetorheological dampers, mountable between the operator cabin and a vehicle frame, sensors, adapted to detect velocity and/or acceleration and/or movement of the cabin, of the vehicle frame and a dampening coefficient of the magnetorheological dampers, and a controlling unit.

A floor assembly includes a controller, a compressor, an airbag, and a floor. The controller is configured to provide one or more user controls to permit a user to operate the compressor and regulate pressure in the airbags. The floating floor is configured to isolate a carrying load from vibrational effects and trailer forces. The assembly is optionally removable from a trailer floor and may be inserted on a different trailer. A guide member is used to restrict movement of the floor on the airbags to only a vertical motion. The guide members may include a dampener.

A vehicle is provided that has a vehicle body, a wheel assembly, a suspension linkage, and a cover panel. The vehicle body has an underside and defines a wheel arch that forms an opening in the underside of the vehicle body. The suspension linkage runs within the wheel arch and couples the wheel assembly to the vehicle body to permit motion of the rotation axis of the wheel assembly relative to the vehicle body. The suspension linkage further comprises a first suspension link coupled between the vehicle body and the wheel assembly, whereby the cover panel is coupled to the first suspension link so that the cover panel moves with the first suspension link. The cover panel further extends across part of the opening so that in forward motion the cover panel directs a rearward moving airflow across the opening.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a mechanical joint with five degrees of freedom. In certain embodiments, the mechanical joint includes first and second triangular linkages The first triangular linkage includes a base end configured to hingedly couple to a first body to pivot relative to the first body and a vertex end that includes a first rotational member. The second triangular linkage includes a base end configured to hingedly couple to a second body to pivot relative to the second body and a vertex end that includes a second rotational member. The first rotational member and the second rotational member are rotationally coupled to form a all joint. With this joint, the second body is moveable in two translational degrees of freedom and restricted in one translational degree of freedom relative to the first body. Such a configuration allows vertical movement and/or reduces stress on the joint.

An automotive vehicle mount includes a frame that has a cross beam, a longitudinally extending first side frame rail, and a longitudinally extending second side frame rail. Each of the frame rails includes mounting holes for a suspension system. The automotive vehicle mount further includes a first side mount bracket mounted to the first frame rail and a second side mount bracket mounted to the second frame rail. The automotive vehicle mount further includes a first air bag pivotally mounted to the first side mount bracket to support the cross beam, and a second air bag pivotally mounted to the second side mount bracket to support the cross beam.

A lightweight suspension upright or knuckle for a vehicle including a bearing connection interface arranged coaxial with the rolling bearing and including a first sleeve element and a second sleeve element arranged radially outside the first sleeve element and including a BMC/LFT/DLFT annular body that is sandwiched between a first and second shell elements, which are coupled together in a radially superimposed manner and which are preferably obtained in a semi-cured state as self-supporting elements, to be chemically and mechanically bonded together and with the BMC/LFT/DLFT annular body in a later stage during a step of forming a core (11) to fill either completely or partially an empty space (12) delimited between the first and second shell elements (8,9).
