There is disclosed a track assembly having a frame; an endless track engaged with a track wheel system, the track wheel system having a track driving wheel and at least another wheel. An axle engaging device is rotatably mounted to the frame and is securable to a driven axle of a vehicle. An axis of rotation of the axle engaging device is spaced apart from a ground contacting area of the endless track by a distance taken along an axis perpendicular to the ground contacting area. A mechanism drivingly engages the axle engaging device to the track driving wheel. The mechanism defines a speed ratio defined as a rotational speed of the track driving wheel over a rotational speed of the axle engaging device. The distance is greater than a product of the speed ratio by a radius of the track driving wheel.

A device for the steering assistance of a vehicle combination of a towing vehicle and an attached implement in which the attached implement swivels at a rear coupling point of the towing vehicle. The implement includes wheels that are arranged on opposite sides, which can be acted on by the control of corresponding individual wheel drives, independently of one another, with a drive torque. An electronic control unit applies a yawing moment to the implement by the asymmetrical control of the individual wheel drives in such a way that a transverse force exerted on the towing vehicle through the rear coupling point, builds up in the sense of the attainment of a pre-specified steering behavior of the vehicle combination.

A differential gear, comprising a first releasable lock (42, 44) between a crown wheel (14) and the one drive shaft, a second, releasable lock (66, 68) between the crown wheel (14) and a differential housing (24), and a third releasable lock (74, 76) between the differential housing (24) and fixed vehicle part (26). The second and third locks are designed to be opened and locked alternately with one another. It is thereby possible to achieve drive shafts rotating in opposite directions to one another on the left and right side of the vehicle and thereby to achieve a center swiveling of the vehicle when the first lock (42, 44) is simultaneously kept in the locked position.

A brake steering mechanism for a vehicle includes a vehicle body having a seat properly disposed at a preset area in opposition to a brake pedal and an acceleration pedal disposed at the front of the vehicle body thereof wherein a left and a right brake sticks are mounted to both lateral sides of the seat and linked to a left and a right brake components of a left and a right front wheels via a first and a second control wires respectively for controlling the movement of the left and right front wheels thereof respectively. A rear wheel with a rear brake component is disposed at the back of the vehicle body wherein the brake pedal is linked to the rear brake component thereof via a third control wire for controlling the movement of the rear wheel thereof. Thus, the vehicle body is easily turned to the left/right via the left/right brake sticks and doubly held in brake via the first, second, and third control wires thereof. Without holding stiffly onto a conventional steering wheel of a vehicle, a driver can drive comfortably with both hands placed naturally onto the left and right brake sticks by both sides of the seat thereof. Besides, with the conventional steering wheel removed there-from, the driver won't be blocked in view by the steering wheel so as to look straight ahead and see clearly the situations on the road to ensure the safety of driving.

A control system is provided for a traction vehicle having a coupling for towing a trailing vehicle load. The system includes a microprocessor which receives signals from a load sensor and, as a function of such signals, controls the slip duration of shifting clutches in an automatic gear shift mechanism as well as the gear speed ratio timing and shifting sequence. In addition, the control system limits the minimum turn radius of the traction vehicle when pulling a load and prevents excessive acceleration of the traction vehicle when not coupled to a load.

In a vehicle or the like, a source of power is connected to a drive shaft. Two pairs of pulley halves are splined to this shaft and can be moved apart and together and are rotated by the shaft. Driven shafts also carry pairs of pulley halves which are splined thereto and can be moved therealong and belts extend between corresponding pulley halves on the drive shaft and corresponding pulley halves on the driven shafts. A pair of spur gears are journalled for partial rotation and mesh with one another, there being one pair for each two sets of pulley halves and a third drive gear engages between the innermost gears of said spur gears so that movement of this drive gear causes equal and simultaneous rotation of the spur gears. Levers are secured to the spur gears and are operatively connected to the pulley halves so that when the drive gear is rotated, one of the sets of pulley halves are moved apart on one of the shafts whereas the other set are moved together by equal amount and vice versa. This permits belts extending between the sets of pulley halves to increase or decrease the speed of the driven shafts. The drive gear is connected to a steering mechanism and with the driven shaft being connected to the drive wheels on each side of the vehicle, easy and accurate steering is accomplished by speeding up one set of drive wheels and decreasing the speed of the other and vice versa. A winch assembly is connected to the drive shaft by a similar arrangement thus enabling the speed of the winch to be controlled accurately which is of particular importance when the winch is being used to disengage the vehicle from mud, snow or the like under which circumstances the winch speed can synchronize exactly with the speed of the drive wheels so that both the winch and the drive wheels can assist in extracting the vehicle from the mired position.
