Abstract: A power take-off (PTO) assembly includes a PTO shaft, a rear PTO arrangement having a rear PTO output shaft extending from the transmission and couplable to a first gear train powered by the rotational power from the PTO shaft, and a countershaft couplable to the first gear train to receive the rotational power from the PTO shaft. The countershaft having an output gear at an intermediate location of the transmission forward of the rear PTO arrangement and proximate an access opening of a housing of the transmission. The PTO assembly further includes an auxiliary removable middle PTO arrangement removably attachable to the transmission housing at the access opening and having a middle PTO output shaft and a second gear train configured to mesh with the output gear of the countershaft to drive the middle PTO output shaft with the rotational power from the PTO shaft.

Abstract: A power take-off assembly includes a first gear, a second gear, a first PTO arrangement having an output gear, a second PTO arrangement having a countershaft gear, a coupler sleeve having internal splines in engagement with a first annular hub of the first gear, and a PTO shifter arrangement having a shifting ring with internal output splines spaced from internal input splines. The internal input splines in sliding engagement with external splines of the coupler sleeve. The shifting ring being translatable between a first position, a second position, and a third position where the internal output splines are engaged with and transfer rotational power to: the output gear only when the shifting ring is in the first position, the output gear and the second gear when the shifting ring is in the second position, and the second gear only when the shifting ring is in the third position.

Abstract: A work vehicle transmission has a disconnect device control assembly. The assembly includes a shaft having a rotation axis extending through a housing of the transmission. A disconnect device is mounted for co-rotation with the shaft about the rotation axis and has disengaged and engaged conditions. A gear is carried by the shaft to rotate about the rotation axis. The gear interacts with the disconnect device to rotate relative to the shaft in the disengaged condition and to co-rotate with the shaft in the engaged condition. A manifold is carried by the shaft and rotationally fixed relative to the rotation axis. The manifold defines a plurality of flow passages configured to route flow to the disconnect device. The manifold has an inner periphery that engages the shaft at a journal interface, which defines a flow passage for flow to pass from at least one of the flow passages of the manifold to the disconnect device.

Abstract: A system and a method for securing an attachment to a work vehicle with a chassis and a suspension are described. A mounting frame with a frame attachment point disposed on a support can be attached to a work vehicle. The suspension can be caused to lower the mounting frame relative to ground by lowering the chassis of the work vehicle. The work vehicle can be maneuvered to align the frame attachment point with a corresponding attachment point on the attachment. The suspension can then be caused to raise the mounting frame relative to ground by raising the chassis of the work vehicle. The frame attachment point can thereby engage the corresponding attachment point on the attachment, as the mounting frame is raised, in order to lift the attachment, with the attachment being thereby supported by the work vehicle solely via the mounting frame.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a gear shift assembly for shifting a transmission between a plurality of ranges. The assembly includes a user input adapted to be moved to induce a shift between two of the plurality of ranges and a shaft coupled to the user input. A movement of the user input induces a first movement of the shaft. The gear shift assembly also includes a first range member movably coupled to the shaft, where the first range member moves concomitantly with the shaft. A second range member is coupled to the shaft. The second range member also moves concomitantly with the shaft. The assembly further includes a control valve disposed in fluid communication with the second range member. The control valve is operably controlled in response to movement of the user input to direct fluid to the second range member to induce a second movement of the shaft.
