Publication number: 20240084825Abstract: A power machine can include a frame, a power source, a machine hydraulic system, and a rotary implement removably securable to the frame. The machine hydraulic system can provide operational hydraulic power to a hydraulic motor of the rotary implement through an implement hydraulic circuit. In an implement braking mode, flow of hydraulic fluid through the implement hydraulic circuit can provide braking for the hydraulic motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Cody Erhardt, Daniel J. Krieger, William Jacobson

Patent number: 11851845Abstract: Power machines with implement carriers that can sense the proximity of an implement to the implement carrier with a plurality of sensors. Such sensing is indicative of the likelihood of an implement being positioned adjacent to the implement carrier. In some embodiments, a sensor detects whether a locking mechanism is activated.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2018Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: DOOSAN BOBCAT NORTH AMERICA INC.Inventors: Cody Erhardt, Jonathan J. Roehrl

Patent number: 11801794Abstract: Disclosed are front entry cabs, and power machines with front entry cabs, having a door that is moveable between opened and closed positions and a display oriented in the cab to provide information to the operator both while the door is in the opened and closed positions. In the opened position, the door is positioned within an operator compartment of the cab above the operator seat and below a top of the cab. The display is positioned to not interfere with the door, door linkages, or operator joystick control.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: CLARK EQUIPMENT COMPANYInventors: Cody Erhardt, Jonathan J. Roehrl

Patent number: 11685238Abstract: Disclosed are front entry cabs, and power machines with front entry cabs, having a door that is moveable between opened and closed positions. In the opened position, the door is positioned within an operator compartment of the cab above the operator seat and below a top of the cab. A linkage system defines the travel path of the door between closed and opened positions. The linkage system is configured to minimize interference with operator visibility.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Clark Equipment CompanyInventors: Cody Erhardt, Ronald S. Hansen, Jonathan J. Roehrl, Brian P. Dehnert, David Glasser

Patent number: 11208782Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include post driving implements which attach to a power machine such as a loader in order to pick up posts of various sizes and materials and/or to drive the posts into the ground. In some exemplary disclosed embodiments, the post driving implement allows a post to be picked up when positioned inline with a direction of power machine travel and allows the post to rotate under the force of gravity to a second position in which the post is inline with a pounding mechanism for pounding the post into the ground. Catch mechanisms can be included to capture a portion of the implement to maintain the post in the second position until a release action is taken or a release command is given.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: CLARK EQUIPMENT COMPANYInventors: Cody Erhardt, Brian Dehnert, Patrick Link

Publication number: 20170145657Abstract: Wing component for use with an implement that is coupleable with a power machine. The wing component includes a stationary portion configured to be mounted to the implement and having a wing support. A wing portion is slidably coupled to the wing support such that the wing portion is configured to move laterally relative to the wing support. A biasing mechanism is coupled to the wing portion and is configured to provide a biasing force to bias the wing portion relative to the wing support.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2016Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Cody Erhardt, Jonathan J.
