  • System and method for automatically controlling vehicle speed based on track-related temperatures of a work vehicle
    Patent number: 10464419
    Abstract: A method for automatically controlling vehicle speeds of a track-based work vehicle may generally include receiving, with a computing device, one or more signals associated with an operating temperature for a track component of a track assembly of the track-based work vehicle, comparing, with the computing device, the operating temperature for the track component to a predetermined temperature threshold defined for the track component and automatically limiting, with the computing device, a vehicle speed of the track-based work vehicle when the operating temperature for the track component exceeds the predetermined temperature threshold.

  • Wheel designs for use within a track assembly of a work vehicle
    Patent number: 10227100
    Abstract: A track wheel may include a wheel rim having an outer rim wall extending axially between first and second sides of the track wheel. The wheel rim may also include a first side wall extending radially inwardly from the outer rim wall along the first side of the wheel such that an inner end of the first side wall is spaced radially inwardly from the outer rim wall. The track wheel may also include a hub disc extending radially within the wheel rim between an inner end and an outer end. In addition, the track wheel may include a first shield wall extending axially between the inner end of the first side wall and the hub disc. The first shield wall may be spaced radially inwardly from the outer rim wall such that a radial gap is defined between the first shield wall and the outer rim wall.
