In order to analyze the steering dynamic characteristic of the skid steer loader, a cosimulation model of steering system based on theoretical analysis of skid steer loader steering process was established by using AMESim software platform and Motion software platform. The dynamic characteristics of unilateral, bilateral steering conditions and the load characteristics of steering process were analyzed through simulation and verified by experiment. The comparison of dynamic model and experimental results shows that the error between simulation data and experimental data is within 10%, and the model can be used in system matching and performance prediction.
