Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include power machines and related structures of lift arms, implement carriers, follower links, and driver links which improve manufacturability, reduce component failures, and improve power machine design and functionality. In some embodiments, lift arm structures include cast lower lift arm portions. The cast lower lift arm portions include contoured upper ends which are sleeved onto contoured lower ends of upper lift arm portions to control stress points and to reduce stresses on welds. The follower link structures can include follower links which are configured to be positioned at least partially outside of the lift arm structure to improve rear visibility. The driver link structures can be configured to be laterally overlapping with innermost surfaces on the lift cylinder, but configured such that as the lift arm is raised the laterally overlapping portions are moved above the innermost surfaces of the lift cylinder.

Abstract: Power machines and loaders having doors with an integrated display that allows the display of information, such as gauges, user inputs, mapped obstacles, boundaries, etc., that allows the operator of the machine to see the displayed information closer to the line of sight with the work area. The display can show augmented reality information about a worksite.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a track mounting tool for use with track removal from, and mounting on, a power machine. The tool includes features which aid in the tasks of track removal and/or track installation. In exemplary embodiments, the tool includes track hanger towers which are configurable to carry a track for mounting on, or after removal from, either side of a power machine. The tool includes a track engager mechanism, which is pivotable for use with either side of a power machine or for mounting of a track at a front or rear idler.

Abstract: A power machine can include a hydraulic drive system that includes an infinitely variable hydraulic drive motor. A run-time displacement of the hydraulic motor can be adjusted based on commanded travel speed or based on a output torque. In some case, the run-time displacement can be selected from one of a plurality of displacement ranges, such as a high range and a low range.

Abstract: Track assemblies (242; 300) for power machines (100; 200) include a track frame (243; 302), including a primary portion (304) and a second portion (306) moveable with respect to the primary portion. A plurality of rollers (248; 316) are positioned along the primary portion of the track frame relative to each other and the center of gravity of the power machine to provide an improved capability to compensate for vibration generated as the power machine moves over a support surface. In some aspects, a portion of a tensioning idler (e.g., 310) is positioned within a cylinder defined by one of the plurality of rollers.

Abstract: Power machines having hydraulic systems and controllers configured to prohibit, limit, or allow full operation of the hydraulic systems based upon measured temperature of the hydraulic oil in the system are provided. Also included are methods of controlling the hydraulic systems. In the methods implemented by the controllers, determinations are made as to whether the temperature of the hydraulic oil is below a first (and lowest) set point temperature, above a second (and higher) set point temperature, or between the first and second set point temperatures. The controllers then either prohibit hydraulic system operation, allow limited hydraulic system operation, or allow full hydraulic system operation, based upon the measured temperature in comparison to the two or more set point temperatures.
