ABSTRACT:
A control is provided for the drive of a motor vehicle with differential-speed steering and with a hydrostatic power transmission unit on each side of the vehicle, where the adjusting element of each of the two power transmission units is provided with a spring-loaded adjusting piston that can be acted upon by control pressure, in which case two pairs of control pressure pick-offs are provided, of which two are assigned to forward and backward movement and the other two are assigned to cornering, where a pressure-dependent switchable pilot valve is installed in the connecting line between a control pressure pick-off assigned to a cornering direction and the adjusting element of the assigned power transmission unit, the pilot valve connects this control pressure pick-off assigned to the cornering direction with a specific pressure chamber of the adjusting element of the power transmission unit on the side of the vehicle on the inside of the curve, so that through actuation of the control pressure pick-off determining the curve radius, the latter can be steadily diminished through the point where the power transmission shaft on the inside of the curve stands still and up to the oppositely directed rotation of the power transmission units on the two sides of the vehicle.
