11. A machine, comprising:
-
a frame; an engine mounted to the frame; one or more load devices operatively connected to the engine; a controller in communication with the engine and the one or more load devices, the controller configured to regulate a quantity of fuel supplied to the engine based on a sensed change in load on the one or more load devices. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of generating a torque curve associated with a torque consuming device for use by a machine, the method comprising:
-
determining a twist angle of a shaft of the torque consuming device upon the application of a load to the torque consuming device; measuring an actual torque applied to the shaft of the torque consuming device based on the applied load; generating the torque curve based on a twist angle versus torque relationship; and storing the torque curve on a medium associated with the torque consuming device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
