  • Patent number: 10232854
    Abstract: A transmission switching arrangement for a work vehicle includes a forward-reverse switching device having a plurality of hydraulic clutches for switching over a transmission state of a power transmission line including mechanical stepless speed change device, a electronic control unit for controlling operations of the forward-reverse switching device and the mechanical stepless speed change device, a switchover switch for commanding switchover of the transmission state by the forward-reverse switching device, and sensors for detecting a rotational speed of the power transmission line. Upon receipt of a command for effecting the switchover of the transmission state, the electronic control unit compares an output from the sensors with a set speed for transmission state switchover.

  • Publication number: 20160059862
    Abstract: Controlling means of a work vehicle includes, as speed change output setting data indicative of relationship between operational positions of the operational pedal and outputs from a stepless speed change device, first data for setting a deceleration completion position of the operational pedal where the output from the stepless speed change device is zero to provide a larger operational amount of the operational pedal from a stepping release position and second data for setting the deceleration completion position to provide a smaller operational amount of the operational pedal from the stepping release position.

  • Patent number: 8483927
    Abstract: A speed changing control system for a vehicle including a speed changing device for speed changing a rotational power from an engine and outputting the resultant power, a speed changing control unit for setting a speed change ratio of the speed changing device, and an engine control unit for setting an engine rotational speed of the engine. Based on an operational instruction in response to a driver's operation, a rotational speed reducing instruction is given to the engine control unit for reducing an engine rotational speed set by the engine control unit by a predetermined amount. Also, a speed changing ratio changing instruction is given to the engine control unit for requesting, to a speed changing control unit, a change of the speed change ratio for compensating for the reduction in the engine rotational speed by the rotational speed reducing instruction so as to maintain the vehicle speed.
