A tractor for agricultural use includes a chassis, which connects a front tractor part and a rear tractor part to one another via a connecting element, a driver's seat in the region of the rear tractor part, a drive and at least four wheels. The connecting element of the chassis, which connects the rear and the front tractor parts to one another, is disposed at least 60 cm above the driver's seat and extends substantially horizontally up to the front tractor part. The driver can thus look to the right, and also at an implement disposed behind the front tractor part, below the connecting element. This enables precise maneuvering when tilling the soil for rows of plants.

An additional weight for a wheel for ballasting a drive axle of a working machine includes a first loading disk centrally connected to the drive axle and a second loading disk connected to the first loading disk. The first loading disk has a conical abutment face for pre-positioning the second loading disk relative to the first loading disk. The first and the second loading disks form encoding formations for mutually centering on end faces which face each other and which are in engagement with each other in a connected state of the loading disks. At least one of the end faces of at least one of the loading disks forms a spacer dome. In the connected state, the spacer dome contacts an end face of the other loading disk in order to position the first and the second loading disks with respect to each other in an axial direction.

An industrial vehicle includes a frame, a counterweight that is connected to a rear part of the frame and a drive device that drives rear wheels. The drive device includes a drive device body and a pair of damping members that is mounted to the counterweight on right and left sides of the drive device body and allows relative motion between the counterweight and the rear wheels. The counterweight has a left mounting portion and a right mounting portion that are formed by machining. The left mounting portion and the right mounting portion have a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole, respectively, through which the respective damping members are mounted to the left mounting portion and the right mounting portion. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are formed coaxially with each other.

A modular counterweight system includes a housing, a bracket, and an actuator. The housing is configured to selectively interface with a plurality of counterweights, facilitating incremental adjustment of an overall weight of the modular counterweight system. The bracket is configured to couple the housing to the vehicle, and the housing is at least one of (i) pivotally coupled to the bracket, (ii) extensionally coupled to the bracket, and (iii) translationally coupled to the bracket. The actuator is positioned to selectively reconfigure at least one of the housing and the bracket and thereby change the center of gravity of the modular counterweight system.

A system includes a first drive module connected to a first end of a linkage arm and a second drive module connected to a second end of the linkage arm. Two magnetic wheels are connected to each of the first and second drive modules. The first and second drive modules may be independently controlled or controlled using a coordinated controller. The linkage arm may include a first linkage arm portion having at least one degree of freedom with respect to a connected second linkage arm portion, which may be connected via a hinged or ball-joint connection. One or both ends of the linkage arm may have at least one degree of freedom with respect to its respectively connected drive module. Additional linkage arms and drive modules may be connected to form a multi-segment system.

A vehicle combining the attributes of a tractor and a utility vehicle includes a three point linkage and other locations to which a plurality of attachments for performing grooming or working operations on a ground or turf surface may be couple. The vehicle includes a front mounted engine, a mid-mounted operator compartment and a rear mounted bed or box. A PTO shaft and/or a hydraulic power system of the vehicle power attachments that require power. A control system and a visual display and data entry device linked thereto are provided for allowing an authorized person to setup, store and thereafter use an operational profile for each attachment that is to be coupled to the vehicle. In a rate dependent attachment, the control system maintains the ground speed and the attachment implement in a fixed ratio. A down/up control is used to signal the start and end of an operational sequence to the control system.

A traveling device includes a first left side wheel, a second left side wheel, a third left side wheel, a first right side wheel, a second right side wheel, a third right side wheel, a first front left side link member, a second front left side link member, a third left side link member, a second rear left side link member, a first rear left side link member, a first front right side link member, a second front right side link member, a third right side link member, a second rear right side link member, and a first rear right side link member. A front left side rotation member is arranged on the second front left side link member, a rear left side rotation member is arranged on the second rear left side link member, a front right side rotation member is arranged on the second front right side link member, and a rear right side rotation member is arranged on the second rear right side link member.
