One general aspect includes a tethered temperature sensor for use within a vehicle track. The tethered temperature sensor includes one or more sensors for measuring temperature located in a high strain and high temperature region of the vehicle track. The sensor also includes circuitry configured to control and/or monitor the one or more sensors and located in a low strain and low temperature region of the vehicle track. The sensor also includes a housing to contain the circuitry. The sensor also includes an encapsulating material that fills an interior of the housing.

A solar powered cooler assembly includes track drive that is drivable over a support surface. The track drive includes a pair of tracks that is each drivable in a forward direction or a rearward direction. Each of the tracks is drivable independently of one another for steering the track drive and facilitating the track drive to have a zero turning radius. A cooler is mounted to the track drive for transporting the cooler over the support surface. A personal electronic device is in wireless communication with the track drive for remotely controlling the track drive. In this way the personal electronic device facilitates the user to drive the track drive.

The invention relates to a debris retaining cover for retaining debris in the region of an undercarriage of a track-type vehicle. The cover includes a barrier member which provides a barrier to restrict egress of debris from the undercarriage of the vehicle and an attachment mechanism which is arranged to secure the barrier member across an undercarriage of the vehicle. A track-type vehicle provided with the debris retaining cover is also disclosed.

An agricultural planter is configured to be moved over a supporting surface by a vehicle. The agricultural planter includes a frame and a planter assembly coupled to the frame. A first propulsion assembly is coupled to the frame at a first position with the first propulsion assembly having a first traction member configured to engage the supporting surface. A second propulsion assembly is coupled to the frame at a second position with the second propulsion assembly having a second traction member configured to engage the supporting surface. A drive assembly is operably coupled to at least one of the first or second propulsion assemblies and configured to drive at least one of the first or second traction members during operation of the planter assembly. The first traction member is configured to be driven independently of the second traction member.

A tracked vehicle, such as tracked carrier to carry and enable use of work equipment on various terrains, is provided. The tracked vehicle may comprise a frame comprising an equipment mounting area for mounting work equipment above the frame. The frame may comprise a pair of side rails that have a spacing in a widthwise direction of the tracked vehicle which corresponds to a standard truck frame side rail spacing. An operator cabin comprises a seating area which may comprise a single seat for an operator or a first seat for the operator and a second seat for a second person next to the operator. At least part of a power plant of the tracked vehicle may be mounted above the frame and behind the operator cabin. The tracked vehicle comprises a plurality of track assemblies for traction of the tracked vehicle.
