By using various feedback data on a sprayer system, such as engine speed, wheel speed, sensed temperatures and/or sensed pressures, an onboard logic controller can be used to fine tune parameters of the driveline system in an automatic calibration process. In one aspect, a controller can drive up engine speed and manipulate electrical current being sent to coils of propel pumps and/or wheel motors as current reaches a point where there is no more change in wheel speed as detected by the system, thereby achieving a. calibration setpoint. Additionally, during the automatic calibration process, the machine as a whole can be monitored with respect to several sensors, such as pressures, temperatures, and the like, so that if any parameter being monitored is out of a predetermined range, the calibration can be stopped and not set.
An agricultural machine, comprising:
The agricultural machine of claim I, further comprising a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the hydraulic fluid, and further comprising the processor executing to calibrate the hydrostatic drivetrain system only when the temperature is above a predetermined minimum value.
A self-propelled agricultural vehicle, comprising:
