  • Control system
    Patent number: 11608792
    Abstract: A control system is provided for a diesel particulate filter (DPF) system of a diesel engine configured for operation in an off-highway vehicle. The control system includes a controller configured to receive a signal corresponding to a fill state of the DPF being at or above a first threshold. The controller is configured to selectively induce a parasitic load on the diesel engine to increase an operating temperature of the engine in response to receiving the signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Tow hitch assembly
    Patent number: 10384503
    Abstract: A tow hitch assembly having a body for mounting the tow hitch assembly relative to an associated vehicle includes a first member rotatably mounted relative to the body and a second member slideably mounted relative to the first member, with the second member including a tow hitch. The tow hitch assembly includes a stowed position at which the first member is in a first rotational position relative to the body and the second member is in a first longitudinal position relative to the first member. Further, the tow hitch assembly includes a deployed position at which the first member is in a second rotational position relative to the body and the second member is in a second longitudinal position relative to the first member.
