ABSTRACT:
A tractor driving system includes an overload coupling in which at least one latch plunger housed in one coupling part fits in a recess of a second part to establish connection. The plunger has or is part of a hydraulic system and can be forced out of the recess upon overload against the hydraulic pressure in the system and, in some instances, with the aid of centrifugal forces if the coupling is rotary. The plunger can be part of a unit that can be releaseably fastened in the coupling housing and set to trip upon torque exceeding a predetermined level on the coupling. Also, the plunger can have internal ducts or external conduits that include a pressure relief valve, as well as a spring return, which can effect connection upon reduced speed when centrifugal force factors are reduced. The pressure in the system can be set remotely with a piston that is spring loaded. In one variation, the coupling can be within a planetary gear system that establishes driving connection from an input to an output via planetary and sun gears. Thus, the planetary gears can be mounted on a carrier that can be held to the housing by a plunger to drive a p.t.o. shaft. Two sets of planetary gears can be mounted within the gear housing to drive the p.t.o. shaft at different speeds and a common plunger used to establish either connection. As part of the system, a distributor can selectively engage either system and a switching member set to allow fluid to pressure the system to a predetermined level.
