Work machines including automatic grading features and functions. One exemplary embodiment is a work machine including a chassis, ground contacting members rotatably coupled with the chassis and an actuator coupled with the chassis. A pole assembly extends above the chassis. A receiver is coupled with the pole assembly and structured to detect a wireless signal. An electronic controller is in operative communication with the receiver and the actuator, the electronic controller structured to adjust an actuator in response to a wireless signal detected by the receiver. The actuator is adjustable to vary position of the receiver and to vary position of a grading tool assembly coupled with a suspension.

In one aspect, a corner shroud includes a body that may have a floor portion having a floor rear surface, a floor inner surface, a floor lower surface, and a floor upper surface having a curved portion, a side portion, extending from the floor portion, and having a side outer surface, a side rear surface, a side inner surface, and a side upper surface, a front portion extending between the floor portion and the side portion, the front portion having a front surface, a front inner surface, and a front rear surface, and a top portion extending from the front portion, the top portion having a top upper surface, a top inner surface, a top lower surface, a top rear surface, and a top outer surface. The floor upper surface, the side inner surface, the front rear surface, the top lower surface, and the top inner surface define a recess.

A work attachment for a motor grader includes a moldboard and a trip edge assembly coupled to the moldboard. The moldboard defines a plurality of first apertures. The trip edge assembly includes a trip edge structure. The trip edge assembly also includes a pivoting mechanism for pivoting a portion of the trip edge assembly in a first direction with respect to the moldboard when the trip edge assembly encounters an object in a drive path of the motor grader. The trip edge assembly further includes a mounting structure defining a plurality of second apertures. The plurality of second apertures are aligned with the plurality of first apertures to receive mechanical fasteners for removably coupling the trip edge assembly with the moldboard.

A plow assembly for mounting to a vehicle includes a mounting structure, a plow and a plurality of cutting edge cartridges attached to the blade. Each cutting edge cartridge includes a blade, a front plate, and a biasing element. The front plate is fixedly attached to a lower front surface of the plow, with the biasing element and the blade disposed between the plow and the front plate. The biasing element is disposed above an upper part of the blade and the blade is configured to slide in an upward and downward motion relative to the front plate and the plow. In response to a force applied to the blade, the blade slides upward relative to the backing plate and the plow and compresses the biasing element such that when the force is removed, the biasing element decompresses and urges and slides the blade downward.

A cold planer is provided. The cold planer includes an engine and an enclosure compartment for a milling rotor. The enclosure compartment includes a frame defining an opening of the enclosure compartment. The enclosure compartment includes a moldboard connected to the frame. The moldboard is configured to move vertically between a first position and a second position with respect to the frame. An interfacing arrangement includes a first pair of components carried by the frame and a second pair of components carried by the moldboard. The components of one of the first pair of components and the second pair of components have slanted edges. The first and second pairs of components are configured to allow a lateral movement of the moldboard when the moldboard is in the first position and to engage one another to prevent the lateral movement of the moldboard when the moldboard is in the second position.

A wear pad assembly for an implement of a machine is disclosed. The implement includes a forward face configured to engage and cast material sideways during a forward movement of the machine over a work surface, and a rearward face opposite the forward face. The wear pad assembly includes a first bracket, a second bracket, a wear pad, and a biasing member. The first bracket is configured to be fixedly coupled to the rearward face of the implement. The second bracket is pivotably coupled to the first bracket. The wear pad is coupled to the second bracket and is configured to contact the work surface. Further, the biasing member is engaged with the second bracket and is configured to bias the wear pad in abutment with the work surface during use of the implement.

A retention assembly, to slidably retain a blade to a support bracket of a grader machine, includes a yoke, a bearing arrangement, and one or more pins. The yoke is adapted to be coupled to the support bracket, and includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a cavity defined therebetween. The first sidewall defines a first thickness and one or more first bores. The second sidewall defines a second thickness and one or more second bores. The second bores are correspondingly co-axial to the first bores. The bearing arrangement is received within the cavity and is adapted to support the blade for a sliding movement of the blade relative to the bearing arrangement. Further, the pins extend correspondingly through at least one of the first bores or the second bores, and into the cavity to engage and retain the bearing arrangement within the cavity.

A retention assembly to slidably retain a blade to a support bracket of a grader machine. The retention assembly includes a yoke adapted to be coupled to the support bracket, and the yoke includes a base wall, a first sidewall extending directly from the base wall, the first sidewall being configured to face the blade, and a second sidewall extending directly from the base wall, the second sidewall configured to face away from the blade and spaced apart from the first sidewall to define a cavity therebetween, along with the base wall. A retainer extends from at least one of the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the base, and a bearing arrangement is received within the cavity and adapted to support the blade for sliding movement of the blade relative to the bearing arrangement. The retainer engages the bearing arrangement and retains the bearing arrangement within the cavity.

A work machine includes a first actuator operatively coupled with a first suspension element and a second actuator operatively coupled with a second suspension element. A grading tool assembly is operatively coupled with the first suspension element and the second suspension element. A receiver is operatively coupled with the chassis and configured and operable to detect a wireless signal. An electronic controller is in operative communication with the receiver, the first actuator, and the second actuator and is configured and operable to control the first actuator and the second actuator in response to a wireless signal detected by the receiver.
