In an electric drive system in which a battery is not connected to a DC bus, even when a load on a traveling electric motor increases suddenly, it is made possible to avoid such a situation that the DC bus voltage drops to a level equal to or lower than an operating voltage of an inverter and the inverter stops working. To this end, a DC bus voltage drop prevention device controls such that, when the voltage of the DC bus drops below a first threshold value, the output torque of the traveling electric motor is decreased according to an amount of decrease in the voltage of the DC bus, and when the voltage of the DC bus drops below a second threshold voltage lower than the first threshold voltage, the output torque of the traveling electric motor is decreased to zero or a value within a range of magnitude with which a work vehicle stays stationary on a level ground.

A utility vehicle comprises a plurality of ground engaging members and a frame supported by the plurality of ground engaging members. The frame includes a front frame portion, a mid-frame portion, and a rear frame portion. The utility vehicle further comprises an attachment supported at the front frame portion. Additionally, the utility vehicle includes an operator area supported by the frame and including an operator seat and an adjacent passenger seat spaced apart from the operator seat. The operator seat and the passenger seat are in a side-by-side arrangement. The utility vehicle also comprises an auxiliary power assembly having an attachment shaft configured to be operably coupled to the attachment. The attachment shaft extends in a generally longitudinal direction of the utility vehicle and projects outwardly from the front frame portion.

A motor grader includes a blade between a front wheel and a rear wheel, the blade being attached to a swing circle which adjusts a blade angle. A control method performed in the motor grader includes obtaining current topography in front of the motor grader and adjusting the blade angle to an angle in accordance with the current topography by revolving the swing circle.

A self-propelled off-road agricultural vehicle is provided with a hydraulic propel circuit protection system. The hydraulic propel circuit protection system reduces extreme pressure buildup from the motors when the pumps and/or motors are rapidly deactivated. The hydraulic propel circuit protection system may include a propel manifold with integral valving and an accumulator to protect a propel circuit of the self-propelled off-road agricultural vehicle. External relief valves which may be integrated into the propel manifold may limit the high pressure condition on the outlet of the motors to a level that prevents damage to the hydraulic motors and the accumulator provides supplemental flow and thus prevents the extremely low pressure condition from occurring at either side of the motors.

A work machine includes a swing hydraulic motor and a swing electric motor for driving an upper swing structure. A capacitor supplies electricity to the swing electric motor and an operating device outputs through one operation, an operating signal for concurrently operating the swing hydraulic motor and the swing electric motor. A main controller switches between a hydraulic-alone drive mode and an electric-alone drive mode, the hydraulic-alone drive mode being a mode to drive only the swing hydraulic motor selected from the swing hydraulic motor and the swing electric motor when the operating device is operated, the electric-alone drive mode being a mode to drive only the swing electric motor selected from the swing hydraulic motor and the swing electric motor when the operating is operated. Therefore, the actuator that malfunctions can easily be specified among the plurality of mounted actuators.
