  • Publication number: 20250116083
    Abstract: A compact utility loader compact utility loader comprising a frame, a first track and a second track positioned on either side of the frame, and a pair of loader arms. The loader arms are configured to couple with an attachment via a hitch plate and a hitch pin. The compact utility loader is configured such that as the loader arms are raised and lowered, the hitch pin follows a path approximately defined by a curve f(x)=4.641e0.34x. The value “x” represents a horizontal direction and the function f(x) represents a vertical direction.

  • Publication number: 20250034838
    Abstract: A work machine comprising a frame with a pair of spaced apart side panels separated by a bottom panel. The work machine additionally comprises a drive assembly configured to propel the work machine, with the drive assembly comprising at least one drive motor. The work machine further comprises a motor mount assembly configured to support the drive motor with respect to the frame. The motor mount assembly comprises a mounting flange and a reinforcement element. Each of the mounting flange and the reinforcement element includes an opening configured to receive a portion of the drive motor. The reinforcement element is secured to an interior surface of one of the side panels of the frame. The mounting flange is secured to the reinforcement element. And the drive motor is secured to the mounting flange.

  • Publication number: 20250034844
    Abstract: A work machine comprising a frame configured to house a plurality of components of the work machine. The frame extends longitudinally from a rear end to a front end. The work machine further comprises a hydraulic system configured to provide hydraulic power to one or more hydraulically-powered components of the work machine. The hydraulic system includes a primary tank configured to hold hydraulic fluid, a hydraulic pump or a hydrostatic transmission configured to provide hydraulic fluid from the primary tank to the one or more hydraulically-powered components, and a secondary tank configured to hold hydraulic fluid and in fluid communication with the primary tank. The secondary tank is spaced apart from, rearwardly and above, the primary tank.

  • Publication number: 20240410399
    Abstract: Hydraulic power amplification systems and methods configured to selectively supply an interval of increased force to a working hydraulic cylinder. The systems generally comprise a working cylinder and a pressure amplification cylinder. The rod side chamber of the working cylinder is in fluid communication with the rod side chamber of the working cylinder, such that shifting of the pressure amplification cylinder piston increases the power applied to the rod side of the working cylinder piston. The hydraulic power amplification systems and methods are particularly useful for providing supplemental breakout force to working cylinders on loader equipment, such as bucket loaders.
