Abstract
An arrangement for releasing a travel drive of an agricultural tractor includes a transmission controller for engaging a travel gear by activating at least one associated clutch device, and a monitoring device, which releases the engagement of the travel gear on the part of the transmission controller when it determines the presence of a corresponding driver intention on the basis of the actuating state of at least one travel operating element.
Claims12
An arrangement for enabling a travel drive of an agricultural tractor, comprising:
- a transmission controller for engaging a travel gear by activating at least one associated clutch device;
- a manual transmission mode operable via a clutch pedal for actuating the at least one associated clutch device and a travel direction lever provided to specify forward or reverse travel;
- and
- a monitoring device, which enables the engagement of the travel gear on the part of the transmission controller when it determines, in the manual transmission mode, the presence of a corresponding driver intention on the basis of an actuating state of one or more of the travel direction lever and the clutch pedal;
- wherein the monitoring device determines, in the manual transmission mode, the presence of a driver intention to not set the agricultural tractor into motion on the basis of the actuating state of one or more of the travel direction lever and the clutch pedal, and wherein the monitoring device precludes engagement of the travel gear when the driver intention to not set the agricultural tractor into motion is determined.
