  • Publication number: 20220297693
    Abstract: A mobile machine control method includes receiving, by a single controller, a first request for movement of the machine by a ground-engaging device, receiving, by the single controller, a second request for movement of an implement system of the machine, and determining, with the single controller, an amount of desired power from an engine to satisfy the first request and the second request. The method also includes selecting an engine speed from a plurality of candidate engine speeds to produce the desired power and operating the engine at the selected engine speed to produce the desired power.

  • Patent number: 11208097
    Abstract: Methods include electronically monitoring sensor or transceiver location information to detect a location of a machine. Responsive to detection of the machine, determining if the machine is located within a first geographic region, and if the machine is located within a first geographic region, electronically sending a command to an actuator that is coupled to the machine to initiate a first response. The first response includes limiting a height of an implement that is coupled to a chassis of the machine. The implement being height-adjustable relative to the chassis by action of the actuator.
