Abstract: A fan drive system includes a pump, at least one implement arrangement in fluid communication with the pump and a fan drive unit driveably connected to the pump. The fan drive unit is in fluid communication with the pump through a modulation valve. A signal operator is structured and arranged to receive at least one implement signal and a fan drive signal and generate a load signal output, wherein the pump is adapted to modify an output flow of the pump in response to the load signal. A control valve is urged to respond under the influence of a sensed condition and is in fluid communication with the modulation valve and the signal operator through a signal conduit.

Abstract: A drive line assembly for a work machine is disclosed. The drive line assembly includes an engine driving an engine output shaft and an engine speed sensor which generates engine speed signals indicative of a speed of the engine output shaft. The drive line assembly further includes a fuel injector operable to regulate fuel flow to the engine and a transmission driven by the engine output shaft and having a number of gear ratios. The drive line assembly yet further includes a controller operable to store a predetermined maximum efficiency curve of engine speed versus torque output and determine the engine speed from the engine speed signals. The controller is further operable to limit the fuel flow the fuel injector supplies to the engine to cause the engine to operate along the predetermined maximum efficiency curve for the engine speed. The controller is yet further operable to control shift points between the number of gear ratios based on the predetermined maximum efficiency curve.
