Method for operating a working machine and a working machine with an improved ability to meet transient loads

Abstract

A working machine and a method for operating a working machine are provided. The working machine includes a power source and a plurality of driving wheels; a working hydraulic system including at least one hydraulic pump powered by the power source for moving an implement on the working machine and/or for steering the working machine; a transmission line arranged between the power source and the driving wheels for transmitting torque from the power source to the driving wheels. The method includes detecting at least one operational parameter indicative of a load exerted on the working hydraulic system, determining if torque needs to be added, in addition to a torque delivered by the power source, on the basis of a magnitude of the detected operational parameter in order to reduce the a load on the power source, and adding torque in case additional torque is determined to be needed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
