Abstract
An agricultural vehicle includes a frame, a body assembly coupled with the frame, a suspension system and a control system. The suspension system includes a pair of dampers positioned at opposite lateral ends of an axle. The suspension system includes a hydraulic system having a hydraulic line fluidly coupling the pair of dampers with each other through a valve. The valve is actuatable between an open position wherein the pair of dampers are fluidly coupled with each other, and a closed position in which the pair of dampers are hydraulically isolated from each other. The control system circuitry configured to obtain sensor feedback indicating a steering operation of the agricultural vehicle, and responsive to the steering operation of the agricultural vehicle, operate the valve into the closed position to hydraulically isolate the pair of dampers from each other to reduce a roll of the body assembly of the agricultural vehicle.
