Methods and systems for operating implements of a vehicle are described. Operation of the implements may be adjusted in response to input to a human/machine interface, such as a joystick. In one example, one or more implement requests are scaled according to a human/machine allowance factor, where the human/machine allowance factor is based on an implements power limit and an implements requested power.

Implements electronic power limitation

Methods and systems for a hydromechanical transmission are provided herein. In one example, the transmission operating method includes asynchronously shifting between a first pair of drive ranges in the transmission via operation of two clutches and a variable displacement hydraulic pump in a hydrostatic assembly. In the method, asynchronously shifting between the two drive ranges includes a plurality of phases that include a swiveling phase where a speed of the hydrostatic assembly is inverted.

Hydromechanical transmission and control method

Methods and systems for a hydromechanical transmission are provided herein. In one example, the transmission system includes a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor rotationally coupled in parallel with a first planetary gear set and a second planetary gear set. In the system, sun gears of the planetary gear sets are rotationally coupled to the hydraulic motor, a carrier of the first planetary gear set is rotationally coupled to a first clutch and a second clutch, and a ring gear of the second planetary gear set is rotationally coupled to a third clutch.

Methods and systems for a hydromechanical transmission are provided herein. In one example, the transmission system includes a hydrostatic assembly and a mechanical assembly coupled in parallel to a first and second planetary gear sets. The transmission system further includes a plurality of clutches designed to shift between two drive ranges in a set of drive ranges that includes a reverse drive range and two forward drive ranges to adjust the input to output speed ratio of the transmission.

Methods and systems for a transmission are provided herein. In one example, a hydraulic system includes a lubrication valve included in a lubricant line and designed to adjust a flow of lubricant to a multi-disc wet clutch. The hydraulic system further includes a clutch line coupled to a clutch control valve, where the clutch line is in fluidic communication with a hydraulic fluid to a clutch actuator of the multi-disc wet clutch and a passive adjustment device of the lubrication valve and where the passive adjustment device transitions the lubrication valve between a limited flow state and an open flow state based on a pressure of the hydraulic fluid in the clutch line.

Transmission hydraulic system and method for operation of the hydraulic system

Methods and systems for a hydromechanical transmission. In one example, the transmission system includes a hydrostatic assembly including a variable displacement hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor and a planetary gearset coupled to a multi-speed gearbox, a hydraulic motor, and an output shaft via separate gears and shafts. In the system the variable displacement hydraulic pump is coupled to an input of the multi-speed gearbox, the multi-speed gearbox includes one or more clutches and is coupled to a prime mover and the output shaft is designed to couple to an axle.
