  • Patent number: 10337169
    Abstract: A stabilizer device for a work vehicle. The work vehicle having a first ground-engaging device having a first midpoint and a second ground-engaging device having a second midpoint. The first ground-engaging device and the second ground-engaging device configured to move the work vehicle along a surface. The stabilizer device comprising a mount coupled to the work vehicle between the first ground-engaging device and the second ground-engaging device. A stabilizer bar coupled to the mount. An actuator coupled to the mount and the stabilizer bar and configured to raise the stabilizer bar from a ground-engaging position to a stowed position. The stabilizer device extends to one of equal to and beyond the second midpoint in the ground-engaging position.

  • Publication number: 20180251167
    Abstract: A ballast device for a work vehicle. The ballast device comprising a rail coupled to the work vehicle. A carrier is slidingly coupled to the rail. The carrier comprises a pin having an axis of rotation. An actuator is coupled to the carrier and configured to move the carrier along the rail. A counterweight is rotatably coupled to the pin. A rotation device is coupled to the counterweight and configured for rotating the counterweight about the axis of rotation. A sensor is coupled to the work vehicle and configured for determining a center of gravity of the work vehicle and for generating a signal indicative of the center of gravity. A controller is configured for receiving the signal and configured for controlling the actuator and the rotation device to position the counterweight at an optimized location.
