| 摘要 | The disclosure may provide a method of driving a mobile machine that includes a left-side track assembly and a right-side track assembly for propelling the machine and an implement for performing work. The method may include determining whether the machine is traveling approximately straight forward or backward, and determining whether a load exerted on the implement is less than a threshold load value. A signal may be output, with a controller, to adjust a speed of the left-side track assembly or a speed of the right-side track assembly when the machine is traveling approximately straight forward or backward and the load exerted on the implement is less than the threshold load value, to thereby bring the left-side track assembly out of phase with the right-side track assembly. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method of driving a mobile machine that comprises a left-side track assembly and a right-side track assembly for propelling the machine and an implement for performing work, the method comprising: determining whether the machine is traveling approximately straight forward or backward; determining whether a load exerted on the implement is less than a threshold load value; and outputting, with a controller, a signal to adjust a speed of the left-side track assembly or a speed of the right-side track assembly when the machine is traveling approximately straight forward or backward and the load exerted on the implement is less than the threshold load value, to thereby bring the left-side track assembly out of phase with the right-side track assembly. | ||
