A piston lock system having first and second cylinders, first and second pistons telescopically connected to the cylinders, and first and second piston locks. The piston locks are movable in a transverse direction within a planar region between the cylinders, between unlocked positions in which the piston locks are not located between the free ends of the cylinders and the free ends of the piston, and locked positions in which the piston locks are located between the free cylinder ends and the free piston ends. A control link is operatively connected to the piston locks, and configured to simultaneously move the piston locks between the locked and unlocked positions.

An actuated shear pin includes an actuator and pin body coupled to the actuator. The actuator selectively configures the pin body in a locking configuration or a stowed configuration. In the locking configuration, the pin body is placed in a travel path of two components configured to move relative to each other, to inhibit such relative movement. In the stowed configuration, the pin body is out of the travel path, thereby allowing the two components to move relative to each other.

A service pin assembly for a machine includes a service pin and a tray for retaining the service pin. The tray is attachable to a frame of the machine, and is pivotable relative to the frame between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the tray facilitates a storage of the service pin with the machine. In the second position, the tray facilitates an engagement of the service pin with a lift arm of the machine and the frame to restrict a relative movement between the frame and the lift arm.

An arrangement for a construction machine includes a machine frame; and an articulated boom. The articulated boom is arranged on the machine frame. The articulated boom includes a proximal arm that is mounted in an articulated manner to the machine frame and a distal arm that is connected in an articulated manner to the proximal arm. The arrangement is configured to be operated in an operational mode, in which the proximal arm and the machine frame are interlocked.

A construction machine comprises a machine frame and an articulated boom pivotably mounted to the machine frame. An electric motor is connected to a battery for operating a component of the construction machine. The construction machine is configured to be operated in a loader mode in which a first tool is mounted to the articulated boom, and in an excavator mode in which a second tool is mounted to the articulated boom. The construction machine comprises a tool storage for storing the first tool and/or the second tool. The construction machine is configured to replace one of the first tool and second tool when mounted to the articulated boom with the other one of the first tool and the second tool when stored in the tool storage. A method of changing an operational mode and a method of selecting an operational mode of a construction machine are also described.

A work vehicle comprises a frame. At least one ground engaging device is coupled to the frame and configured to support the frame above a surface. A boom assembly is coupled to the frame and configured to move from a lowered position to a raised position. An attachment coupler is coupled to a distal portion of the boom assembly. At least one tilt cylinder coupled to the boom assembly and the attachment coupler. A boom lock is coupled to at least one of the frame and the boom assembly. The boom lock is configured to move from an unlocked position where the boom assembly is movable to a locked position where the boom assembly is locked to the frame in the lowered position.
