Patent number: 6325166Abstract: In a hydraulic travelling agricultural machine which includes travelling sections, a pump operating unit is disposed in an operating section for controlling the steering and speed change of the travelling sections. The pump operating unit is connected interlockingly to a pair of varible flow rate control pumps via a link mechanism for a spool, and is operated by a steering mechanism and a speed changing mechanism. Accordingly, the natural vibration occurring in the variable flow rate control pumps is obsorbed by the link mechanisms, and hence the vibration transmitted to the pump operating unit is attenuated. The propagation of the vibration to the steering mechanism and the speed changing mechanism is thereby inhibited.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1998Date of Patent: December 4, 2001Assignees: Yanmar Agricultural Equipment Co., Ltd., Seirei Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takanobu Shimada, Katsumi Fujiki, Kouichi Hiroshige

Patent number: 5992260Abstract: One operating lever is provided for moving a traveling vehicle with a working machine back and forth and the working machine vertically and operating a sub-transmission. A sub-transmission switch is provided in a recessed portion formed in a grip of a back-and-forth operating lever so that a quick operation can be effected by a single hand without any mistake. In addition, the working machine vertically moving lever is constructed so as to interlock with a spool of a vertical motion control valve via a motor so that the speed of the motor is gradually reduced when the working machine vertically moving lever (32) is in a lowering operation, thereby preventing a drastic lowering.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1998Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignees: Yanmar Agricultural Equipment Co., Ltd., Seirei Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsumi Fujiki, Takanobu Shimada, Shuichi Togami
