Drive system having slip control
First Claim
1. A drive system for a work machine, the drive system comprising:
- at least one driven traction device;
a transmission operatively connected to the at least one driven traction device and configured to drive the at least one driven traction device; and
a controller configured to determine a ground tractive capacity associated with the at least one driven traction device and to limit an amount of torque transmitted from the transmission to the at least one driven traction device when the amount of torque to be transmitted will exceed the ground tractive capacity.

Abstract
A drive system for a work machine is disclosed. The drive system has at least one driven traction device and a transmission operatively connected to the at least one driven traction device. The transmission is configured to drive the at least one driven traction device. The drive system further has a controller configured to determine a ground tractive capacity associated with the at least one driven traction device and to limit an amount of torque transmitted from the transmission to the at least one driven traction device when the amount of torque to be transmitted will exceed the ground tractive capacity.

16. A method of operating a drive system of a work machine having at least one driven traction device, the method including:
-
determining a ground tractive capacity associated with the at least one driven traction device; and
limiting an amount of torque transferred to the at least one driven traction device when the amount of torque to be transmitted will exceed the determined ground tractive capacity. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A work machine, comprising:
-
a power source configured to produce a power output;
at least one driven traction device;
a transmission operably connected to the power source and configured to drive the at least one driven traction device; and
a controller configured to determine a ground tractive capacity associated with the at least one driven traction device and to limit an amount of torque transmitted from the transmission to the at least one driven traction device when the amount of torque to be transmitted will exceed the current ground tractive capacity. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
