    Abstract: A method for assembling an agricultural vehicle including the initial step of providing the agricultural vehicle including a frame, a hydraulic manifold, and a cab suspension system. The cab suspension system includes an anti-roll bar, a pair of support brackets configured for securing the anti-roll bar to the frame, and a pair of intermediary placement brackets configured for temporarily supporting the anti-roll bar in a final assembly position. The method includes the further steps of attaching the intermediary placement brackets onto the frame, positioning the anti-roll bar on the intermediary placement brackets to position the anti-roll bar in the final assembly position, assembling the hydraulic manifold onto the frame, and connecting the support brackets to the frame and the anti-roll bar.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a system and method allow for various pairs of candidate gear ratios and engine speeds to be identified for achieving a desired ground speed of a work vehicle. The individual operating efficiencies of one or more of the power-consuming components of the work vehicle may then be analyzed for each pair of transmission/engine settings to estimate the associated parasitic power loss(es) within the system. Based on the parasitic power loss value determined for each transmission/engine setting, a net engine power or torque requirement can be calculated and used as an input for determining the fuel efficiency of the work vehicle at each candidate setting. The gear ratio and corresponding engine speed of the candidate setting associated with the lowest fuel consumption may then be set as the target or desired transmission/engine setting for maintaining the work vehicle at the desired ground speed.

    Abstract: A work vehicle includes: a chassis; a cab comprising a frame carried by the chassis; a support structure carried by the chassis; a hitch system directly coupled to the support structure and including a pair of lift arms, each of the lift arms being pivotably coupled to the support structure; and an anti-roll system including an anti-roll bar coupled to the frame of the cab and directly coupled to the support structure such that the support structure simultaneously supports both the hitch system and the anti-roll system. A combined hitch and anti-roll system that includes the support structure, hitch system, and anti-roll system and may be removably mounted to a vehicle is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A mounting assembly for mounting a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) system within a work vehicle may generally include a support. bracket having a first side and a second side. The mounting assembly may also include a mount plate configured to be coupled to the first side of the bracket. The mount plate may include first and second plate walls and may define an elongated slot through the first plate wall. Additionally, the assembly may include a retention hand configured to at least partially wrap around a housing of the DOC system between a first end configured to he coupled to the mount plate and a second end configured to be coupled to the second side of the support bracket. The mount plate may be configured to he moved laterally relative to the support bracket to allow the retention band to he tightened and loosened around the housing.

    Abstract: A liquid cooling system for a work vehicle may generally include an expansion tank and a deaeration line having a fluid conduit which fluidly couples the expansion tank to a component of the cooling system. The fluid conduit defines a flow passage therein and includes an upstream portion, a downstream portion and an intermediate portion where the intermediate portion is defined between the upstream and downstream portions. The flow passage within the intermediate portion has cross-sectional shape which restricts liquid coolant flow between the component and the expansion tank during operation of the work vehicle.
