  • Publication number: 20150226300
    Abstract: A power transfer assembly is described for power transmission from a power source to one or more rotating components. The power transfer assembly includes a power source capable of providing torque output, a first one-way clutch configured to receive torque input from the power source, and a second one-way clutch configured to receive torque input from the power source. The first one-way clutch is configured to transmit at least a first portion of the received torque input to a first half-axle. The second one-way clutch is configured to transmit at least a second portion of the received torque input to a second half-axle.

  • Patent number: 8565984
    Abstract: A steering system for a work vehicle towing a towed implement is described. A steering control unit is coupled to a location signal generation arrangement on the vehicle, a steering actuator, a memory for storing desired path data of the implement and a slope sensor for detecting a lateral inclination of the work vehicle or the implement. The steering control unit calculates a lateral offset compensation value to steer the work vehicle such that the implement is moved on the desired path and a slope offset compensation value based upon a signal from the tilt sensor to compensate for slope forces pulling the implement down a lateral slope. A steering signal is sent to the steering actuator based upon the lateral offset compensation value and the slope offset compensation value.
