    Abstract: A work machine and method for grading a ground surface may include a frame, a ground-engaging attachment, an attachment coupler coupling the ground-engaging attachment to the frame, an actuator enabling movement of the ground-engaging attachment, an adjustable linkage to adjust a position of the ground-engaging attachment relative to the frame, an adjustable linkage, a sensor, and a controller. The adjustable linkage adjusts a position of the ground-engaging attachment relative to the frame. The adjustable linkage comprises of a first portion and a second portion, an enclosure encircling the second portion wherein the enclosure creates an annular chamber between the enclosure and the second portion. A sensor is coupled to the annular chamber and measures a pressure in the chamber. A controller may be configured to monitor the sensor signal, and perform one or more actions based on the sensor signal.

    Abstract: A hydraulic boom control system for a forestry machine includes a pump for pressurizing a hydraulic fluid on a high pressure side, a reservoir for storing hydraulic fluid on a low pressure side, and a first hydraulic cylinder including a cap end and a rod end. The first hydraulic cylinder is configured to actuate the hoist of the boom. A second hydraulic cylinder includes a cap end and a rod end and is configured to actuate the stick of the boom. A first control valve is operable to control the first hydraulic cylinder. A second control valve is operable to control the second hydraulic cylinder. A variable return metering valve is fluidly connected to at least one of the first or second control valves. The variable return metering valve is operable to modulate shared hydraulic fluid flow between the first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder.

    Abstract: A work machine includes a mainframe, a boom moveable relative to the mainframe, a work implement coupled to and moveable relative to the boom. The work machine further includes a work-implement operator control configured to transmit a signal indicative of a work-implement movement command, a boom operator control configured to transmit a signal indicative of a boom movement command, and a boom sensor configured to detect a movement of the boom and transmit a signal indicative of the detected movement of the boom. The work implement further includes a controller configured to receive signals from the work-implement operator control, the boom operator control, and the boom sensor. The controller is further configured transmit a signal to cause movement the work implement relative to the boom based on the detected movement of the boom and the work-implement movement command.

    Abstract: A hydraulic drain system for a working machine including a hydrostatic pump, a tank, a cooler, a first conduit, and a second conduit. The hydrostatic pump is configured to be driven by a prime mover. The tank is configured to store fluid drained from the hydrostatic pump. The cooler is positioned upstream of the tank. The first conduit couples the hydrostatic pump to the cooler. The second conduit directly couples the hydrostatic pump to the tank.

    Abstract: A work vehicle gyroscopic boom assembly control system utilizes gyroscopically-measured angular velocity data to control boom movement. The work vehicle includes an operator interface, a boom assembly, a first gyroscope, and a controller. The boom assembly includes a first boom element coupled to a first actuator, which is controllable to rotate the first boom element about a first pivot joint. During operation of the work vehicle, the controller receives an operator request for boom assembly movement via the operator interface, converts the operator request to a target angular velocity of the first boom element, and selectively commands the first actuator to adjust rotation of the first boom element based, at least in part, on the target angular velocity and a current angular velocity of the first boom element sensed by the first gyroscope.
