  • Patent number: 11622504
    Abstract: An agricultural production machine, such as a combine, forage harvester or tractor, is disclosed. The agricultural production machine includes a drive assembly with an internal combustion engine, an electric energy supplying system having an electric auxiliary machine, and a driver assistance system with a control system that is configured to control the internal combustion engine, the electric auxiliary machine, and at least one power consumer that can be driven by the drive assembly. The internal combustion engine operates at the lowest possible rotational speed, with the electric energy supplying system configured to support the internal combustion engine by connecting the electric auxiliary machine at this lowest possible rotational speed when connecting a load.

  • Patent number: 11618309
    Abstract: An agricultural work machine comprising a front axle and a rear axle, an internal combustion engine, at least one hybrid module, and a transmission device is disclosed. The internal combustion engine and the hybrid module are each operatively connected to the transmission device with both output power from the internal combustion engine and output power from the hybrid module absorbed via the transmission device. The output powers are transferred together to the rear axle so that rear wheels of the agricultural work machine arranged on the rear axle can be driven. The internal combustion engine is arranged in a front region of the agricultural work machine and the hybrid module is arranged in a rear region of the agricultural work machine. The output powers from the internal combustion engine and the hybrid module are supplied separately to the transmission device.
