Abstract:
A suspension system for a cab of an off-road vehicle includes a superstructure configured to receive a cab frame. The superstructure forms a framework, the corners of which receive suspension assemblies and dampers. The suspension assemblies include one or more springs or resilient elements to resist suspension motion, and the dampers provide dampening of the motion. Lateral and longitudinal suspension motions are resisted by links between the corners of the superstructure. An anti-roll bar reduces roll. The entire suspension system may be pre-assembled and then joined to the vehicle chassis frame. The cab frame may then be placed on the suspension system. Parts of the suspension system may interface with and be housed by roll-over protective structures.
Wheel Designs For Use Within A Track Assembly Of A Work Vehicle

International Classification:
B62D 55/14 B62D 55/088 B62D 55/08
Abstract:
A track wheel may include a wheel rim having an outer rim wall extending axially between first and second sides of the track wheel. The wheel rim may also include a first side wall extending radially inwardly from the outer rim wall along the first side of the wheel such that an inner end of the first side wall is spaced radially inwardly from the outer rim wall. The track wheel may also include a hub disc extending radially within the wheel rim between an inner end and an outer end. In addition, the track wheel may include a first shield wall extending axially between the inner end of the first side wall and the huh disc. The first shield wall may be spaced radially inwardly from the outer rim wall such that a radial gap is defined between the first shield wall and the outer rim wall.
System And Method For Controlling The Speed Of A Track-Driven Work Vehicle Based On Monitored Loads To Avoid Track Overheating
- New Holland PA, US Jason Novacek - West Fargo ND, US Mark Krogen - West Fargo ND, US David Tveito - West Fargo ND, US Russell Stoltman - Argusville ND, US
A method for automatically controlling vehicle speeds of a track-based work vehicle may include monitoring, with a computing device, a load transmitted through a pivot pin of a track assembly of the work vehicle and determining, with the computing device, a speed limit setting for the work vehicle based on the monitored load, wherein the speed limit setting is associated with maintaining an operating temperature of a track of the track assembly below a predetermined temperature threshold. In addition, the method may include automatically limiting, with the computing device, a vehicle speed of the work vehicle based on the determined speed limit setting.

International Classification:
G05D 17/02 B62D 21/11 B62D 55/084 B62D 55/065
Abstract:
A method for controlling a multi-axle work vehicle based on axle loading may generally include monitoring a load associated with loads transmitted through a pivot pin of a track assembly of the work vehicle, wherein the track assembly is configured to be rotatably coupled to an engine of the work vehicle via an axle assembly. In addition, the method may include estimating an axle load applied through the axle assembly based on the monitored load and providing a control output for the work vehicle based on the estimated axle load

International Classification:
F01N 3/28 F01N 13/18 B60K 13/04 F01N 3/20
Abstract:
A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank for an off-road vehicle including a retaining bar configured to support the DEF tank and a channel molded into a side of the DEF tank. The channel is configured to interface with the retaining rod. The DEF tank further including a cutout formed within the channel, wherein the cutout establishes a gap between the retaining bar and a body of the DEF tank. The DEF tank also includes a drain channel molded into an exterior surface of the DEF tank. The drain channel is configured to provide structural support to the DEF tank, and the gap is configured to enable DEF flow downwardly into the drain channel without contacting the retaining bar.

International Classification:
B60K 31/00 B62D 55/065
Abstract:
A method for automatically controlling vehicle speeds of a track-based work vehicle may generally include receiving, with a computing device, one or more signals associated with an operating temperature for a track component of a track assembly of the track-based work vehicle, comparing, with the computing device, the operating temperature for the track component to a predetermined temperature threshold defined for the track component and automatically limiting, with the computing device, a vehicle speed of the track-based work vehicle when the operating temperature for the track component exceeds the predetermined temperature threshold.

International Classification:
B60K 13/04 F01N 3/10 F01N 3/20 F01N 13/18
Abstract:
A system includes a muffler coupled to a frame of the off-road vehicle and mounted in a substantially horizontal orientation and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) fluidly and mechanically coupled to the muffler. In certain embodiments, the DOC is mounted in a substantially vertical orientation rearward of the muffler relative to a primary direction of travel of the off-road vehicle.
