Abstract
An active pitch control is provided for counteracting the pitching motion of a mobile machine. The machine has an apparatus for transmitting driving torque from an engine to a pair of pneumatic tires. The pitch control includes a device for detecting a pitching motion of the machine and responsively outputting a control signal. A device receives the control signal and changes the driving torque transmitted to the tires to counteract the pitching motion.
