Abstract:
A dual path hydrostatic drive system having an electronic auxiliary drive auxiliary drive controller controlling the hydraulic output of left and right variable displacement pumps in response to the speed of the main drive wheels and a speed ratio signal from a speed ratio input control. In addition, the auxiliary drive auxiliary drive controller controls the outputs of the pumps within three basic boundary conditions; a hydraulic pressure boundary condition, a motor speed boundary condition and a power boundary condition. A clutch mode activation switch has two positions for signaling the auxiliary drive auxiliary drive controller to operate in a first mode in which the auxiliary drive system is shut down upon activation of the main clutch or a second mode where the auxiliary drive controller attempts to mirror the operation of the main drive wheels.
In accordance with the present invention, an anti-theft system includes an input device and a processor having an associated memory, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to activate the anti-theft system in response to receiving an authorization code from the input device and, when the anti-theft system is activated, to lock the engine in response to receiving one of a user code and a master code from the input device.

Abstract:
Method and differential-lock control apparatus for differential lock control are disclosed. A control unit is arranged for communication with an engine speed sensor, a differential-lock activation control, and a differential lock. The control unit is adapted to allow for reduction of an engine speed to a desired engine speed if the engine speed is at least a threshold engine speed in response to receipt of an activate-differential-lock request signal, and adapted to subsequently output an activate-differential-lock control signal to the differential lock so as to command activation of the differential lock.

Abstract:
A mobile vehicle includes a moveable operator seat movable between a forward-use configuration and a rearward-use configuration, a left-side stabilizer, a right-side stabilizer, and a control system configured to control the movement of the left-side stabilizer and the right-side stabilizer based on whether the operator seat is in the forward-use configuration or the rearward-use configuration.

US Classification:
701 50, 701 69
Abstract:
A work vehicle comprises a mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) and a MFWD switch associated with the MFWD for selectively activating the MFWD. The MFWD switch may be a 3-position switch comprising a momentary-ON position, a maintain-ON position, and a maintain-OFF position. The MFWD switch may be, for example, a 3-position rocker switch.
