A hood assembly for a work vehicle includes a hood and a hood pivot joint configured to pivotally couple the hood to a chassis of the work vehicle. The hood pivot joint is configured to enable the hood to rotate between an open position and a closed position. The hood assembly also includes a lift mechanism having a linkage assembly pivotally coupled to the hood and configured to pivotally couple to the chassis of the work vehicle. In addition, the lift mechanism includes a linear actuator coupled to the linkage assembly. The linear actuator is configured to drive the linkage assembly to rotate the hood between the open and closed positions.

An operator cab for a work vehicle includes: a cab enclosure including a roof an operator chair disposed in the cab enclosure; at least one layer of noise-deadening material coupled to the roof; and a headliner coupled to the roof such that the at least one layer of noise-deadening material is at least partially disposed between the headliner and the roof. The headliner includes a noise-reflective material and a noise escape region that comprises at least one opening configured to allow sound waves to pass through the noise escape region into the at least one layer of noise-deadening material and reduce noise reflection by the headliner to the operator chair.

In one aspect, an aspiration system for a work vehicle includes an exhaust tube extending along a flow direction from an upstream end to a downstream end. The exhaust tube defines an exhaust passage extending from the upstream end of the exhaust tube to the downstream end of the exhaust tube. The exhaust tube includes a venturi portion. The aspiration system also includes an aspiration tube in flow communication with the venturi portion and configured to receive an aspirated airflow. The system further includes a flow adjustment mechanism provided in operative association with venturi portion such that the flow adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a cross-sectional flow area of the venturi portion of the exhaust tube.

A hood guiding system for a work vehicle may include first and second walls positioned within an engine compartment of the work vehicle. The system may also include a hood configured to extend in a crosswise direction of the work vehicle between a first side and a second side so as to least partially cover the engine compartment. Additionally, the system may include a first guide component coupled to the hood at or adjacent to its first side and a second guide component coupled to the hood at or adjacent to its second side. When the hood is moved from an opened position to a closed position, the first and second guide components may be configured to contact outer surfaces of the first and second walls, respectively, to guide the hood towards the closed position.

An air intake system for a work vehicle may generally include an intake duct defining a passageway for directing air in a flow direction through the system. The duct may also include a pre-cleaner slot defined between inner and outer surfaces of the duct and a support ledge extending circumferentially around at least a portion of an inner perimeter of the duct. The system may also include a pre-cleaner configured to be installed within the intake duct by inserting the pre-cleaner through the pre-cleaner slot in a direction extending generally perpendicular to the flow direction. In addition, the air intake system may include a cover configured to be coupled to the intake duct such that the cover extends over the pre-cleaner slot when the pre-cleaner is installed within the intake duct.

An air intake system includes a pre-cleaner having a plurality of tubes configured to receive a flow of air, to filter particulate material from the flow of air, and to provide the flow of air to an engine of an off-road vehicle. The system also includes a controller configured to receive a first signal indicative of an air intake flow rate of the engine, to determine a target number of open tubes for the pre-cleaner based at least in part on the air intake flow rate and a desired air flow rate for each tube of the plurality of tubes, and to output a second signal to a component of the air intake system indicative of instructions to enable the flow of air to the target number of open tubes and to block the flow of air to the remainder of tubes of the plurality of tubes.

Air intake system for an off-road vehicle

An intake duct for an air intake system of a work vehicle is disclosed. The intake duct may generally include a body defining an air passage extending between an intake end and an outlet end. The body may further define a recessed intake at the intake end including a first side section and a second side section. Each of the first side section and the second side may define at least one side opening for directing air into the air passage. In addition, the recessed intake may include a deflector projecting outwardly from the first and second side sections. The deflector may be configured to shield the air passage from water directed towards the recessed inlet.

An agricultural vehicle including an exhaust system. The exhaust system also includes a dosing module having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. Additionally, the exhaust system includes a first conduit coupled directly between the fluid inlet and an engine cooling system of the agricultural vehicle. The first conduit is configured to hold a cooling fluid. The exhaust system also includes a second conduit coupled directly between the fluid outlet and the engine cooling system and is configured to hold the cooling fluid. The cooling fluid is configured to flow from the first and second conduits into the engine cooling system after an engine of the agricultural vehicle is turned off.

An HVAC system for a work vehicle having an operator compartment for a vehicle operator, the system including a heating system, a compartment pressurizer blower, a compartment recirculation blower, a temperature sensor, and an operating mode switch, each operably coupled to an electronic circuit, wherein the circuit is configured to reduce pressurizer blower output when the operator selects high output from the heating system under certain predetermined temperature and conditions and operating modes to improve HVAC system performance.

A steering wheel movement sensing apparatus for an agricultural vehicle comprising a magnetic ring configured to fit around the steering column such that it turns in unison with the steering wheel. The minimum number of magnetic poles on the ring is not defined, but a ring having at least 36 poles enables the movement sensor to detect steering wheel movement of 10 degrees. At least two hall-effect sensors fixed in a stationary position adjacent to the magnetic ring generate signals of fluctuating value as the magnetic poles pass enabling wheel movement and the extent of wheel movement to be derived. By specifically adjusting the position of the hall-effect sensors in relation to each other, the resultant output signals can also be used to determine the direction of movement of the steering wheel. Outputs from the sensing apparatus can be used to disengage an automated vehicle guidance system upon detection of steering wheel movement and to provide input to a self-cancelling turn signal system.

An HVAC system for work vehicle having an operator compartment for an operator is disclosed. The HVAC system includes a pressurizer blower and an air-conditioning system coupled to an electronic circuit. The electronic circuit is configured to reduce the output of the pressurizer blower when the operator selects a high output from the air-conditioning system. The HVAC system is also configured to provide defog operation in both a manual mode and an automatic mode of operation. The HVAC system is configured to reset the defog operation when the vehicle ignition is turned off or turned back on. The HVAC system is also configured not to reset the defog operation when the operator switches rapidly between the automatic mode and the manual mode of operation.
