Front guard for working vehicle
A front guard includes: a lower frame; and an upper frame and is configured to be swung to change a posture between a standing posture and a forward-leaning posture with respect to the lower frame. The lower frame has: a first lower member; and a second lower member. The upper frame has: a first stretching portion; a second stretching portion; and a connector portion. The connector portion has: a first portion; a second portion; and a middle portion. The first portion shifts forward as extending from the first stretching portion side to the middle portion side. The second portion shifts forward as extending from the second stretching portion side to the middle portion side. The middle portion extends in the vehicle width direction to connect the first portion and the second portion.
TRACTOR UNITS FOR TRANSPORTING ELONGATED LOADS
A tractor unit is disclosed for transporting an elongated load such as a wind turbine blade or wind turbine tower segment. The tractor unit body is supported, driven and steered by a wheel set comprising at least three ground-engaging wheels. At least two of the wheels are steerable and can transform between an aligned mode of operation and a carousel mode of operation. In the aligned mode, the wheels are aligned with one another in a neutral steering position, and steerable to vary the direction of steering. In the carousel mode, the wheels of the wheel set are oriented with their axes of rotation intersecting at a substantially common vertical axis located within the lateral extent of the tractor unit body, so that when the wheels are driven the tractor unit spins about this common vertical axis. A load engagement mechanism is mounted pivotally on the tractor unit body about the common vertical axis. This allows the load engagement mechanism to be counter-rotated in an equal and opposite amount to the angular rotation of the tractor unit body in carousel mode, keeping the load in fixed position relative to the ground as the tractor unit spins.
WORKING VEHICLE
A working vehicle includes a position detector to detect a position of a vehicle body based on a signal transmitted from a positioning satellite. A mounting stay pivotally supported by a base stay includes a counter surface that opposes an upper surface of the base stay when the position detector is in a first position. The position detector is movable from the first position to a second position according to rotation of the mounting stay causing the counter surface to face upward. When the position detector is in the second position, a front portion of the mounting stay is higher than an upper end of the roof and a rear portion of the mounting stay is lower than the upper end of the roof.
WORKING VEHICLE
A position detector is supported to be movable between a first position and a second position lower than the first position. A mounting stay is below the position detector when the position detector is in the first position, and, when the position detector is rotated together with the mounting stay from a state in which the position detector is in the first position, the position detector is moved to the second position and the mounting stay is positioned above the position detector in the second position and covers over the position detector so as to restrain the automatic steering control.
WORKING VEHICLE
A working vehicle, includes a vehicle body travelable by selectively using either manual steering including a manual operation of a steering wheel or automatic steering including an automatic operation of the steering wheel based on a traveling reference line, a steering switch to selectively start or terminate the automatic steering after determination of the traveling reference line, and a calculator to calculate a number of works defined as a number of completed ground works.
WORKING VEHICLE
A working vehicle includes a vehicle body to travel either by manual steering with a steering wheel or by automatic steering with the steering wheel, a reference registration controller configured or programmed to register a traveling reference line based on a position of the vehicle body caused to travel by the manual steering, a traveling line setter configured or programmed to set, based on the traveling reference line, scheduled traveling lines for traveling using the automatic steering, and an automatic steering controller to control the automatic steering based on the scheduled traveling lines. The traveling line setter is configured or programmed to change an adjacency width between the scheduled traveling lines adjoining each other among the plurality of scheduled traveling lines.
WORKING VEHICLE
A working vehicle includes a prime mover provided on a vehicle body, a first indicator light provided on the vehicle body, a second indicator light provided on a working device connected to the vehicle body, and an integrated controller including a first controller portion to control the prime mover, and a second controller portion to control the first indicator light and the second indicator light.
Space frame front upper suspension connection
A front upper suspension connection for a space frame comprises a bottom surface fixedly attachable to a front lower suspension connection; a top rear mounting surface fixedly attachable to a front upper frame connection; a top front mounting surface fixedly attachable to a first elongate support member; a front strut attachment point located below the top rear mounting surface and the top front mounting surface to pivotably attach a front strut; and a lower rear mounting surface located below the top rear mounting surface fixedly attachable to a second elongate support member. The front strut attachment point can include a hole passing through the top rear mounting surface, a coaxial hole passing through the top front mounting surface, and a front strut attachment pin configured to pass through the top rear mounting surface, the top front mounting surface, and a top mounting hole integral to the front strut.
Rolling soil probe
A rolling soil probe which may be pulled by a tractor or a truck or mounted on a trailer. The rolling soil probe includes a rotatable square wheel having four sides, each of which has a soil probe extending outwardly therefrom.
