  • Patent number: 6151874
    Abstract: A device for the control and adjustment of hydraulic cylinders on work attachments and assemblies of work machines, preferably self-propelled harvesting machines. Increasing the performance of harvesting machines for bringing in crops efficiently and without loss requires rapid, uncomplicated adaptation of the harvesting machines and front harvesting attachments to the respective load and operating conditions. The front harvesting attachments and wheel carriages are connected to the hydraulic circuit of the harvesting machine and driven automatically by means of the electronic control system as a function of the respective working and operating conditions.

  • Patent number: 5820508
    Abstract: A transmission comprises an input shaft and a variator having an infinitely variable transmission ratio. The variator has a variator input being driven by the input shaft and has a variator output. A planetary gear train is configured as a summing gear train with a first input, a second input and an output. The first input is adapted to be drivingly connected to the input shaft and the second input is driven by the variator output. An output shaft is driven by the planetary gear train output. A first clutch is provided for drivingly connecting the first planetary gear train input to the input shaft, whereas a second clutch is provided for drivingly connecting the variator output to the output shaft.
