Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method may operatively couple machines, each powered, at least in part by an energy accumulator, together to charge one machine using power of another machine. On condition that a first remaining amount of power in a first machine is less a first total amount of power needed to complete a first task and charging of the first machine takes priority over completion of a second task to be completed by a second machine, the second machine can travel to the first machine and charge a first energy accumulator in the first machine.

Abstract: A working machine includes one or more batteries driving movement of the working machine within a work area. The working machine includes a controller configured to receive criteria relating to one or more operational characteristics of the working machine and determine one of a plurality of operation modes for the working machine based upon the criteria and a remaining charge of one or more batteries.

Abstract: A push bar assembly for an operating vehicle is provided. The push bar assembly includes a telescopic bar, a tow eye, a hitch assembly, and a spring assembly. The telescopic bar includes a first tube, a second tube and a spring-lock pin. The second tube is configured to move inside the first tube. The spring-lock pin is mounted on the first tube and configured to restrict the telescopic motion of the second tube inside the first tube. The hitch assembly includes a first end, a second end and an eye. The hitch assembly is configured to couple the telescopic bar with the operating vehicle. The tow eye is coupled to a second end of the second tube. Further, the spring assembly is mounted on the first tube and is coupled to the hitch assembly.

Abstract: A steering arrangement is provided for a work machine that includes a braking device, actuated by an actuation switch, to hold an operator input device in a predetermined position during operation. The braking force of the braking device can be overcome by the operator to make steering adjustments. The work machine may include a second steering arrangement on an opposite side of the work machine to improve operator visibility during close operation. A selector switch is used to select between one or the other steering arrangements.
