Publication number: 20190170247Abstract: A system, apparatus and method are provided for limiting operating speed at high temperatures of a self-propelled, agricultural product applicator having a hydraulic drive system including a pump supplying pressurized hydraulic fluid to a variable-displacement hydraulic motor operatively connected for propelling the applicator. A temperature sensor detects a temperature of the pressurized hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic system. A propel controller is operatively connected between the temperature sensor and the propulsion motor and configured for limiting displacement of the propulsion motor according to one or more predetermined de-rated conditions resulting in reduced motor speed, in accordance with a predetermined schedule, when predetermined motor de-rating activation temperature limits of the hydraulic fluid are detected by the temperature sensor. The controller is further configured for providing a de-rated condition warning signal prior to limiting displacement of the propulsion motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2017Publication date: June 6, 2019Applicants: CNN Industrial America LLC, Danfoss Power Solutions Inc.Inventors: David J.
