  • Patent number: 11634031
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes: a chassis; an operator cab carried by the chassis; at least one fluid reservoir carried by the chassis; at least one fluid sensor disposed in the at least one fluid reservoir and configured to output a fluid level signal corresponding to a level of fluid in the at least one fluid reservoir; and a fluid display gauge carried by the chassis outside of the operator cab and operatively coupled to the at least one fluid sensor, the fluid display gauge including an activation region that is accessible from the ground. The fluid display gauge is configured to display the level of fluid in the at least one fluid reservoir upon the activation region being activated.

  • Patent number: 11390332
    Abstract: A suspension system for a cab of an agricultural vehicle having a frame. The suspension system includes a pair of first mounts configured for connecting the cab to the frame at a first region, a pair of second mounts configured for connecting the cab to the frame at a second region, and a pair of actuators configured for connecting the cab to the frame at a third region. The actuators are configured for variably damping a movement of the cab. The suspension system also includes a first suspension linkage laterally connected in between the second mounts. The suspension system also includes a second suspension linkage configured for connecting the cab to the frame at a fourth region. The second suspension linkage is configured for limiting a rotation of the cab about the longitudinal axis of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20200001841
    Abstract: A system and method for braking a tractor-trailer assembly is provided. The method includes generating a tractor brake pressure for application to a tractor brake for braking a tractor wheel, determining a tractor brake rate based on one or more of the generated tractor brake pressure, one or more parameters of the tractor brake, one or more parameters of the tractor wheel, one or more parameters of a final drive, and a mass of the tractor, and determining a trailer brake pressure applied to a trailer brake of a trailer wheel of a trailer, based on the determined tractor brake rate.
