Tractor with crop-straddling capability uses central, low-mounted support unit for engine and services with high cross-members and height-adjustable arms supporting hydraulically-driven wheels

摘要

The tractor comprises a chassis (1) formed with side frames (2,3) connected by cross-members (4,5,6). The front cross-member (4) supports upright arms incorporating double-action hydraulic cylinders (12) attached to hydraulic motors (13) driving the steered front wheels (14). The center chassis supports the engine and other services, producing a low overall center of gravity.
