摘要 |
The present invention relates to a brake actuated shift control for mobile self propelled machines to reduce premature brake wear leading to brake failure caused when a brake is engaged and, during brake engagement, a transmission coupled to the machine transmits power to a coupled drive wheel engaging a surface. The transmission has a plurality of selectable ranges corresponding inversely to a plurality of transmission output torques. A shift actuation control is coupled to the transmission to cause the transmission to shift to a higher range when the brake is applied with the transmission in a low range, so as to reduce the transmission output torque.
