A milling machine has a frame, ground engaging tracks that support the frame, a first actuator connecting the frame to a first track of the ground engaging tracks and a second actuator connecting the frame to a second track from the ground engaging tracks. The milling machine has an orientation sensor that determines an orientation of the frame. The milling machine has a controller that operates the first and second actuators to raise or lower the frame. The controller determines the frame orientation using the orientation sensor. The controller also determines a velocity error between actuator velocities of the first and second actuators based on the frame orientation and a target orientation of the frame. The controller determines a control parameter for the second actuator based on the velocity error and operates the second actuator using the determined control parameter.

A track-type loader machine includes a main frame, laterally spaced track roller frames, an equalizer bar pivotally mounted to the main frame and attached to the roller frames, a work implement movably connected to the main frame by a plurality of linkages, and at least one cross-slope actuator which connects one of the roller frames to the main frame. The at least one cross-slope actuator is configured to tilt the work implement and the plurality of linkages in conjunction with the main frame relative to a pivoting axis of the equalizer bar.

A method for automatically controlling a display system for a work vehicle having a first implement supported at a first end of a chassis, a second implement supported at a second end of the chassis, and a chair that is selectively movable between a first position oriented toward the first end of the work vehicle and a second position oriented toward the second end of the work vehicle. The method may include receiving an input indicative of a position of the chair and an input indicative of an operating state of the work vehicle. Additionally, the method may include controlling a display device to display image data from an imaging device associated with a first portion of a worksite or a second portion of the worksite based at least in part on the position of the chair and the operating state of the work vehicle.

A vehicle includes a chassis, and a stabilizer including a support frame that has a wheel support that is configured to support at least one shaft and two wheels arranged on opposite sides relative to a longitudinal axis of said vehicle and defining a track width between said two wheels. A base supports the support frame, and a suspension connects the base relative to the chassis and is configured to allow a free vertical displacement of one of the base and the chassis relative to the other over a restricted range. A stabilizer of or for such a vehicle.

A self-propelled work vehicle is provided with work state estimation and associated control techniques. The work vehicle comprises ground engaging units, a work implement configured for controllably working terrain, and various onboard sensors. A controller is functionally linked to at least the one or more onboard sensors and configured to ascertain a first parameter or operation of the work vehicle, determine a work state of the work vehicle, based at least in part on respective input signals from one or more onboard sensors, and generate a control signal for controlling at least a second parameter or operation of the work vehicle, responsive to the ascertained first parameter or operation and the determined work state. The control signals may be provided for proactive adjustments to engine speed, movements of the work implement, movements of the work vehicle itself, etc.

A machine comprises a first ground engaging unit connected to a first leg, a second ground engaging unit connected to a second leg, and a hydraulic system to control heights of the legs, the hydraulic system comprises a fluid circuit to control fluid between the first and second legs, a load holding valve to allow fluid into the fluid circuit, a control valve system to let fluid into the load holding valve, the control valve connected to a hydraulic fluid source and a reservoir, a first lock valve to control flow of fluid between the first and second legs in a first direction, a second lock valve to control flow of fluid between the second and first legs in a second direction, and first and float valves configured to connect the first and second legs to the control valve system, respectively.

Tipping over of a work machine is prevented. The work machine includes: a vehicular body; a rear axle attached to the vehicular body to be capable of undergoing a roll motion with respect to an axis extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicular body; and a controller. The controller acquires stability of the center of gravity of the vehicular body, and controls the roll motion of the rear axle with respect to the vehicular body based on the stability.

A motor grader includes a vehicular body, a blade, a front wheel located in front of the blade, two rear wheels located in the rear of the blade, a first sensor which detects a position of the vehicular body as first sensor information, a second sensor which detects an inclination of the vehicular body as second sensor information, a first swing member which rotatably supports both of the two rear wheels arranged in the front and rear relation and is swingably supported by the vehicular body, and a third sensor which detects an angle of swing of the first swing member with respect to the vehicular body as third sensor information. A method of controlling a motor grader includes obtaining the first to third sensor information and calculating positions of the rear wheels based on the obtained first to third sensor information.

A machine comprises a first ground engaging unit connected to a first leg, a second ground engaging unit connected to a second leg, and a hydraulic system to control heights of the legs, the hydraulic system comprises a fluid circuit to control fluid between the first and second legs, a load holding valve to allow fluid into the fluid circuit, a control valve system to let fluid into the load holding valve, the control valve connected to a hydraulic fluid source and a reservoir, a first lock valve to control flow of fluid between the first and second legs in a first direction, a second lock valve to control flow of fluid between the second and first legs in a second direction, and first and float valves configured to connect the first and second legs to the control valve system, respectively.

Construction equipment is provided that can include: a transport assembly operably supporting a platform, the platform having a leading edge opposing a rearward edge, the leading edge associated with a first direction of the transport assembly, and the rearward edge associated with a second direction of the transportation assembly; an operator cab above the platform and aligned closer to the leading edge than the rearward edge; an engine above the platform and aligned closer to the rearward edge than the leading edge; and a boom pivotably attached above the platform closer to the rearward edge than the leading edge, the boom being movable between a first position fully extended and a second position fully raised.
