A pilot neutralizing system of a work vehicle may include a pilot neutralizer. The work vehicle may include a first frame portion and a second frame portion. The work vehicle has an actuating assembly used to pivot the first frame portion relative to the second frame portion. The pilot neutralizer is electrically coupled to a controller receiving a signal indicative of an articulation position. The pilot neutralizer is hydraulically coupled between an operator control member and a steering valve to selectively change a pilot signal at the steering valve. The pilot signal is used to switch the steering valve to change a direction of a hydraulic fluid flowing from the steering valve to the actuating assembly. When the articulation position reaches a cushion region during steering, the pilot neutralizer is de-energized or energized by the controller to change the pilot signal at the steering valve to resist the actuating assembly from moving.
A work vehicle, comprising:
A pilot neutralizing system of a work vehicle, the work vehicle comprising a frame assembly having a first frame portion and a second frame portion pivotally coupled to the first frame portion, an actuating assembly configured to pivot the first frame portion relative to the second frame portion, the pilot neutralizing system comprising:
A method for controlling an actuating assembly of a work vehicle during steering, comprising:
