Abstract
An agricultural machine includes a frame, a steerable front axis, a steerable rear axis, a trigger element which is deflectable depending on a front axis deflection, and a transmission device having a trigger part and a steering part. The steering part steers the rear axis. The trigger element acts on the trigger part and at least partially deflects the trigger part in a deceleration steering mode of the agricultural machine when an absolute amount of the front axis deflection exceeds a threshold value. The transmission device deflects the rear axis in an opposite direction to the front axis as a result of the at least partial deflection of the trigger part and by transmitting a force from the trigger part to the steering part.

1-15. (canceled)
An agricultural machine comprising:
- a frame;
- a front axis which is configured to be steerable;
- a rear axis which is configured to be steerable;
- a trigger element which is configured to be deflected depending on a front axis deflection of the front axis;
- and
- a transmission device comprising a trigger part and a steering part, the steering part being configured to steer the rear axis,
- wherein,
- the trigger element is further configured to act on the trigger part and to at least partially deflect the trigger part in a deceleration steering mode of the agricultural machine when an absolute amount of the front axis deflection exceeds a threshold value, and
- the transmission device is configured to deflect the rear axis in an opposite direction to the front axis as a result of the at least partial deflection of the trigger part and by transmitting a force from the trigger part to the steering part.
A steering system for an agricultural machine, wherein the agricultural machine comprises:
- a frame;
- a front axis which is configured to be steerable;
- and
- a rear axis which is configured to be steerable,
- the steering system comprising:
- a trigger element which is configured to be deflected depending on a front axis deflection of the front axis;
- and
- a transmission device comprising a trigger part and a steering part, the steering part being configured to steer the rear axis,
- wherein,
- the trigger element is further configured to act on the trigger part and to at least partially deflect the trigger part in a deceleration steering mode of the agricultural machine when an absolute amount of the front axis deflection exceeds a threshold value, and
- the transmission device is configured to deflect the rear axis in an opposite direction to the front axis as a result of the at least partial deflection of the trigger part and by transmitting a force from the trigger part to the steering part.
A method for steering an agricultural machine, wherein the agricultural machine comprises:
- a frame;
- a front axis which is configured to be steerable;
- a rear axis which is configured to be steerable;
- a trigger element which is configured to be deflected depending on a front axis deflection of the front axis;
- and
- a transmission device comprising a trigger part and a steering part, the steering part being configured to steer the rear axis,
- the method comprising:
- the trigger element acting on the trigger part to at least partially deflect the trigger part in a deceleration steering mode of the agricultural machine when an absolute amount of the front axis deflection exceeds a threshold value;
- and
- the transmission device deflecting the rear axis in an opposite direction to the front axis as a result of the at least partial deflection of the trigger part and transmitting a force from the trigger part to the steering part.
