A hybrid power train system for a tractor scraper is provided. The hybrid power train system may include a primary power source coupled to a first set of traction devices, a generator coupled to the primary power source, a first electric motor coupled to a second set of traction devices, an inverter circuit coupled to the generator and the first electric motor, an energy storage device coupled to the inverter circuit, and a controller operatively coupled to the inverter circuit. The controller may be configured to engage a first operation mode enabling electrical energy, supplied by the generator and the first electric motor, to be stored in the energy storage device, and engage a second operation mode enabling electrical energy, stored in the energy storage device, to be supplied to the first electric motor to drive the second set of traction devices.

A ground scraper (10) including: a bowl (12) for holding excavated ground material; a cutting edge (14) mounted at a mouth of the bowl (12) for excavating the ground material; an apron (26) pivotally mounted to the bowl (12) for closing the mouth of the bowl (12); and a hitch assembly (28) including a draft tube (32) and a pair of draft arms (34) extending from the draft tube (32) and pivotally coupled to the bowl (12). Each draft arm (34) including a first portion (36) angled with respect to a second portion (38).

A system configured to be mounted to a vehicle for adjusting a position of an implement during an autonomous operation being performed by the vehicle. For example, the vehicle may monitor a height, slope angle, and/or load of an implement during an operation and adjust one or more parameters associated with the implement to achieve a desired finishing profile.

A system includes a first machine having a first bail member and a first push bar, at first end. The first bail member includes a first hydraulic cylinder. A first hook and second push bar, at second end. The second push bar includes a second hydraulic cylinder in fluid communication with first hydraulic accumulator. The second machine having second bail member and first push bar, at first end. The second bail member includes third hydraulic cylinder in fluid communication with second hydraulic accumulator. A second hook and second push bar, at second end. The second push bar includes fourth hydraulic cylinder. The first hook coupled to second bail member and second push bar of first machine is in mechanical contact with first push bar of second machine. The impact energy generated at beginning of push operation and pull operation is stored in first hydraulic accumulator and second hydraulic accumulator respectively.
