Spoils sifting and ground surface preparation apparatuses and systems
A work machine includes a chassis and a lift mechanism. A tow-behind attachment is positioned rearward of the work machine and includes a frame assembly, a spoils rake assembly, and a cage roller assembly. The frame assembly includes a forward portion and a rearward portion. The forward portion is coupled with the chassis and the lift mechanism. The rearward portion is coupled with and moveable to a plurality of positions relative to the forward portion independent of movement of the forward portion relative to the chassis. The spoils rake assembly is coupled with and extends downward from the rearward portion at a position forward of the cage roller assembly and is moveable vertically relative to the rearward portion. The cage roller assembly is coupled with and extends downward from the rearward portion of the frame assembly at a location rearward of the spoils rake assembly.
Drive system with a tandem drive assembly
A tandem drive assembly includes a tandem housing, a first drive sprocket and a second drive sprocket arranged in the tandem housing and configured to engage a pair of wheels, and a continuously-variable drive. The continuously-variable drive is arranged in the tandem housing. The continuously-variable drive includes an input configured to receive power from a prime mover and an output coupled to the first drive sprocket. The output is operatively connected to the input.
LOCK PACKING PREVENTION FOR A BIT
A retaining spring clip includes an elongated body defining a longitudinal direction, a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a transverse direction that is perpendicular to the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction. A handle is disposed proximate to a first longitudinal end, an intermediate spring is disposed along the longitudinal direction, and a stepped groove is disposed proximate to a second longitudinal end. A triangular shaped void forms a backside of the intermediate spring, and a void filler is disposed in the triangular shaped void.
MATERIAL WORKING ATTACHMENTS
A material working attachment for a vehicle includes: (a) a working implement for engaging and working material on a ground surface during operation of the vehicle in a working direction along the ground surface; and (b) a coupling mechanism for attaching the working implement to the vehicle. The coupling mechanism includes: (i) a first coupling portion attached to the working implement and having at least one coupling channel extending along a coupling axis, the coupling axis alignable parallel with the working direction, and (ii) a second coupling portion attachable to the vehicle, the second coupling portion having at least one arm alignable parallel with the coupling axis for sliding of the at least one arm in a respective coupling channel to releasably interconnect the first and second coupling portions for attachment of the material working implement to the vehicle.
