  • Patent number: 10821982
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method for adjusting torque limits for a work vehicle may include controlling, with a computing device, an operation of an engine of the work vehicle such that a torque output of the engine is maintained at or below a baseline engine torque limit. The method may also include receiving, with the computing device, an input associated with a current hydraulic power requirement of a hydraulic system of the work vehicle, and adjusting, with the computing device, a torque limit for the engine from the baseline engine torque limit to an adjusted engine torque limit based on the current hydraulic power requirement of the hydraulic system. In addition, the method may include controlling, with the computing device, the operation of the engine such that the torque output of the engine is maintained at or below the adjusted engine torque limit.

  • Patent number: 9597954
    Abstract: An exhaust support system for an off-road vehicle including a fender having a liquid storage tank, a loading plate coupled to a frame of the off-road vehicle, and a gusset coupled to the liquid storage tank and to the loading plate. The gusset is formed from a flat plate and includes a body coupled to the liquid storage tank, a base coupled to the loading plate, and a curved portion coupling the base to the body. Additionally, the curved portion is configured to redistribute a force from the liquid storage tank to the loading plate.
