Lateral transport system for harvester
A lateral transport system for a harvester including a chassis, first and second ground wheels coupled to the chassis, and a lateral transport assembly operably coupled to the chassis and operable between a transport operation mode and a stowed operation mode. A tongue is pivotally coupled to the chassis, a first suspension element is rotatable about a first axis and a second axis, a second suspension element is rotatable about the second axis, and a hydraulic actuation system is operably coupled to the tongue, the first suspension element, and the second suspension element. In the transport operation mode, hydraulic fluid is allowed to flow into the hydraulic actuation system to rotate the first suspension element about the first axis, and subsequently rotate the first and second suspension elements about the second axis.
