  • Publication number: 20230202439
    Abstract: A vehicle includes: a brake pedal to produce vehicle brake pressure; a trailer brake valve to output a variable trailer brake pressure to a trailer brake of a trailer, the trailer brake valve configured to output the variable trailer brake pressure as a function of the vehicle brake pressure; and an electronic control unit operably coupled to the trailer brake valve and configured to: output a first valve signal to the trailer brake valve to output the trailer brake pressure according to a first vehicle brake pressure curve; and output a second valve signal to the trailer brake valve to output the trailer brake pressure according to a second vehicle brake pressure curve responsively to determining a curve adjustment condition exists. The first vehicle brake pressure curve and/or the second vehicle brake pressure curve is not a single straight line curve.

  • Patent number: 10605361
    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for controlling the torsional output of a hydrostatic transmission of a work vehicle may include pilot-operated first and second valves. The first valve configured to be actuated to a closed position to occlude fluid flow through a first fluid conduit when a pressure within such conduit at a location downstream of the first valve drops below a first threshold. Moreover, the second valve configured to be actuated to a closed position to occlude fluid flow when a pressure within the second fluid conduit at a location downstream of the second valve drops below a second threshold. As such, when one of the first or second valves is actuated to the closed position, an increased flow of fluid is delivered through the other of the first valve or the second valve to increase a torsional output of an associated hydraulic motor.
