  • Patent number: 11068002
    Abstract: A work vehicle may include a load sensor, an engine, a drive train driven by the engine and a track system including at least one track. The track system is connected to the drive train. The work vehicle may further comprise a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature and a vehicle control system configured to receive the sensed temperature and a vehicle load from the load sensor. The vehicle control system is configured to output a work speed vehicle alert based upon a combination of the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor and the vehicle load sensed by the load sensor.

  • Patent number: 10919586
    Abstract: A work machine includes a frame including an axle and an arm, a track undercarriage assembly including an undercarriage assembly connected to the arm, a drive assembly operably attached to the axle, and a track belt mounted on the drive assembly. The undercarriage assembly and the drive assembly are each configured for lateral adjustment relative to a longitudinal centerline of the frame from a first position to a second position. The drive assembly includes a drive sprocket that is assembled with the axle in a first configuration to laterally adjust the drive assembly towards the first position and a second configuration to laterally adjust the drive assembly towards the second position. The undercarriage assembly includes an undercarriage frame attached to the arm, wherein the undercarriage frame and the arm are adjustably coupled to allow the undercarriage frame to be movably adjusted between the first and the second positions.

  • Patent number: 10520955
    Abstract: A work vehicle may include an engine, a drive train driven by the engine, and a track system including at least one track. The track system is connected to the drive train. The work vehicle may further include a temperature sensor configured to sense a track temperature of the at least one track and a vehicle control system configured to receive the track temperature and to determine misalignment of the at least one track based at least in part upon the sensed track temperature.

  • Patent number: 9989976
    Abstract: A vehicle, method, and track control system for sensing the temperature of a track and controlling the vehicle's speed based on the temperature of the track. The track temperature may be sensed by a sensor embedded in a portion of the track, such as in a drive lug, a tread bar, or portion of the carcass. The temperature of the track may also be used to alert an operator of a track temperature issue or request that the operator reduce the speed of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8402700
    Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, a wall assembly may be used to divide the area of a particular living space. The wall assembly may comprise a first and second panel. The first panel may reside within an internal cavity of the second panel. The first panel may also extend beyond the second panel such that both panels may collectively form a wall. A cable may connect the wall assembly to an overhead structure such that it may pull the wall into a storage space of the overhead structure.

  • Publication number: 20090283090
    Abstract: A modular hot top cooking unit houses two burners generally located symmetrically within a firebox of the cooking unit. Dual separate controllers independently operate each burner. A cover plate defining a cooking surface covers the firebox and overlies the two burners. The dual controls allow both burners to be operated independently to achieve even heat across the cover plate, allow only one burner to be utilized to achieve gradual heat, or allow both burners to be used at different temperatures to achieve variable heat along the cover plate.
