A milling machine includes a rotor drive transmission having a plurality of gears disposed between a prime mover and a cutting rotor. The rotor drive transmission is associated with a rotor transmission hydraulic circuit including a hydraulic gearshift actuator to engage the plurality of gears in one or more gear ratios and a gearshift directional control valve to direct hydraulic fluid to and from the hydraulic gearshift actuator. In occurrence of a fault condition, the rotor transmission hydraulic circuit includes a gearshift trapping valve to maintain hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic gear actuator and the engaged gear ratio of the rotor drive transmission.

Land vehicles and methods of operating land vehicles are disclosed. A land vehicle includes a frame structure, a plurality of wheels, and a brake system. The frame structure includes a front cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the front cage in a longitudinal direction. The plurality of wheels are supported by the frame structure. Each of plurality of wheels is sized to permit direct integration of an electric motor therein.

A system and method for compensating reduced track speed because of engine droop for a work machine is disclosed. The system may comprise a frame, an attachment coupled to the frame, a ground-engaging mechanism adapted to support the frame, an engine, a motor, a track speed sensor, an engine speed sensor, and a controller. The engine may drive the ground-engaging mechanism and attachment. The engine may be coupled through a variable speed transmission to the ground-engaging mechanism and the attachment. They variable speed transmission may include a hydrostatic circuit. The controller may be adapted to send an increased transmission command signal based on a drop in the engine speed signal when the work machine engages an increased load. The increased transmission command signal may increase a motor speed to cause an increase in track speed to compensate at least a portion of the reduced track speed from the engine speed droop.

A parallel hybrid drive train, in particular for a working machine, includes an internal combustion engine (1), an electrical machine (2) and hydraulic aggregates (3, 4, 5, 9) for driving working devices (6-8) and for moving the working machine. In order to increase the efficiency, the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine is lowered, that is to say the load point is moved. Increased power requirements are detected via a driver input and provide a desired rotational speed. The electrical machine assists the acceleration of the internal combustion engine to said desired rotational speed.

The solution proposed by the invention consists of a method for monitoring the tyres of vehicles transporting excavations in mines, using tyre handling equipment, said tyres being equipped with radio frequency identification tags and physical parameter sensors; said method also using a database comprising the identifiers of the vehicles, the identifiers of the tyres, the identifiers of the sensors and of the positions of the tyres on the axles.

A hydraulic control system for a transmission is provided with a power source, two drive wheels, a power transmission device, a hydraulic pump, a main valve, and a controller. The power transmission device is configured to be set to a plurality of speed stages. The main valve is disposed between the hydraulic pump and the power transmission device and adjusts the main pressure of hydraulic fluid supplied from the hydraulic pump to the power transmission device. The controller controls the main valve. The controller sets the main pressure to a pressure value derived by correcting a clutch holding pressure of the set speed stage based on a load applied to each of the drive wheels.

A transmission for an agricultural or heavy load vehicle is provided, and includes a central drive shaft, at least one planetary gearset comprising a planet carrier, at least one output drive element, and one brake device. The drive shaft is connected to the output drive element via the planetary gearset. The brake device is located between the planet carrier and the output drive element in the form of a ring gear, such that the output drive element can be coupled to the planet carrier via the brake device.

The transmission includes a first shaft, a second shaft, a third shaft, and a fourth shaft. These shafts are parallel to each other. A first gear couples to the first shaft. A second gear couples to or idles around the first shaft when a first clutch is switched. A third gear meshes with the first gear and couples to the second shaft. A fourth gear couples to or idles around the second shaft when a second clutch is switched. A sixth gear meshes with the first gear and couples to the third shaft. A seventh gear couples to or idles around the third shaft when a fourth clutch is switched. A ninth gear meshes with the second gear, the fourth gear, and the seventh gear, and couples to the fourth shaft.

An off-highway vehicle may include an off-highway vehicle frame and a motor carried by the off-highway vehicle frame. The off-highway vehicle may also include wheel assemblies rotatably coupled to the off-highway vehicle frame without an intervening vehicle suspension and at least some of the wheel assemblies being driven by the motor. Each of the wheel assemblies may include an inner rim coupled to the hub, an outer rim surrounding the inner rim, and gas springs coupled between the inner rim and the outer rim to provide a gas suspension for relative movement between the inner and outer rims.

A system includes a processor and a display. The processor acquires shape data indicative of a shape of the surroundings in a traveling direction of a work machine. The processor generates a guide line. The guide line is disposed spaced from the work machine. The guide line indicates the shape of the surroundings in the traveling direction of the work machine. The processor synthesizes a surrounding image and the guide line and generates an image including the surroundings image and the guide line. The display displays the image including the surroundings image and the guide line based on a signal from the processor. The system may further include the work machine, a camera that captures the surrounding image, and a sensor that measures the shape of surroundings.
