Abstract: A method of making an antifriction coating composition, comprising the steps of (A) combining (i) a solid lubricant, (ii) a solvent, (iii) a binder, and (iv) optionally, an additive; and (B) grinding the (i) solid lubricant in the solvent (ii) with a basket mill for sufficient time to form a dispersion of the ground (i) solid lubricant in the (ii) solvent, and wherein the binder (iii) and the optional additive (iv) are each independently combined with the solid lubricant (i) and solvent (ii) before, during, after, or a combination of two or more of before, during, and after, (B).

Abstract: A hydraulic hitch system for a vehicle includes a hydraulic source, a hydraulic reservoir, a hydraulic cylinder, an operator-controlled actuating means for generating a command signal, a hydraulic control valve for controlling the hydraulic cylinder, and an electronic control unit for controlling the control valve. To make it easier for the operator to set the hydraulic functions when working with different attachments, a pressure sensor generates a pressure signal and is connected to the hydraulic cylinder, and a control device is used to select a pressure control program for the hydraulic cylinder. The control valve is activated by a control signal which is generated by the control unit as a function of the selected pressure control program, the pressure signal and a command signal generated by the control device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a PTO brake control system. There is a need for an improved and safe PTO brake control system. A PTO may be put into a driven and a non-driven condition an is braked by a PTO brake. A PTO brake control system includes a vehicle speed sensor and an ECU for controlling the PTO brake. The ECU deactivates the PTO brake when the vehicle is stationary and the PTO is not driven. This allows the PTO to be manually rotated to facilitate coupling of the PTO to an implement.

Abstract: A drive arrangement for an agricultural machine with an internal combustion engine used to drive removable agricultural implements. The engine is connected to a control unit and to a power take-off (PTO), which drives the removable agricultural implements, by means of a power take-off transmission with selectable transmission steps. The engine is further coupled to a sensor that captures the RPM of the PTO outlet, to a first operator input device that influences the RPM of the combustion engine and to a second operator input device that inputs a maximum RPM of the PTO output. The control unit controls the RPM of the combustion engine to the input value of the first operator input device while limiting the RPM of the engine based on the RPM at the PTO outlet, which cannot exceed the input value of the second operator input device.

Abstract: Shaft seal for sealing between a shaft (2) and a machine housing (3). A seal and bearing casing (10) surrounds the shaft (2) to be sealed off and contains a rolling-contact bearing device (11) and a row of lip seals (13), the sealing lips of which engage the shaft surface (2) or a shaft protection sleeve (12). A compensation device (14) is connected, an the one hand, in a sealing manner to the casing (10) by means of a radially inner annular fastening part (23), and is connected, an the other band, in a sealing manner to the housing (3) by means of a radially outer annular fastening part (25), and has a flexible bridging portion (24) between the annular fastening parts (23, 25). The bridging portion (24) contains a first and a second elastomer ring seal (24a, 24b), which are arranged at an axial distance from one another in respective seat recesses (26, 27, 28) of the casing (10) and of the compensation device (14).
