Harvesting machine with compensation means for hillside working

摘要

The pivot mechanism (44) is for a vehicle-wheel (12), particularly a driven one, on the chassis, having an arm (54) supporting the wheel or its mounting (50) and hinging in a bracket (52), together with a mechanism (56) adjusting the wheel height. Connecting components (58, 60) on arm and bracket secure the wheel rigidly at the desired height. The wheel can be mounted on the arm via a gearbox forming the mounting, and which can also be flange-mounted directly on the chassis in place of the bracket, having an input shaft (64) parallel to its protruding output shaft.
