  • Method and arrangement of a plurality of propel pumps in a hydrostatically driven compactor
    Patent number: 7967099
    Abstract: Fluid control propulsion system, machine including the system, and method of controlling the propulsion of a machine having a compacting drum and a wheel mounted on an axle, drum and axle motors operatively connected with the drum and the axle, respectively, and drum and axle pumps operatively connected to an engine and fluidly connected to the pumps. A fluid control orifice disposed in fluid communication between the pumps is selectively disengageable in response to at least one of operator instruction, sensed pressure differential between the drum and axle pumps, and sensed disparity in rotational speed between the drum and axle.
    Type: Grant
