TRACK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR USE WITH A WORK MACHINE AND TRACK ASSEMBLY
Track management system for use with a work machine and a track assembly that is pivotably coupled thereto at a pivot point. The track management system includes a first mount, a second mount, and an actuator. The first mount is coupled to the work machine, and the second mount is coupled to the track assembly. The actuator includes a first portion that is coupled to the first mount and a second portion that is coupled to the second mount. Expanding the actuator urges the track assembly about the pivot point in a first direction, while retracting the actuator urges the track assembly about the pivot point a second direction that is opposite of the first direction.
Tracked Vehicle
A vehicle is disclosed that includes various portions for carrying a rider and operation of the vehicle. The vehicle may be configured for operation of more than one surface or surface type. The vehicle has a selected suspension assembly for operation of various surface types.

TRACK ASSEMBLY FOR A TOWED VEHICLE
A track system for use with a towed vehicle has an attachment assembly and a multi-member frame assembly. The multi-member frame assembly includes a primary frame member connected to the attachment assembly, at least one wheel-bearing frame member pivotably connected to the primary frame member about a pivot located within a recess, and at least one resilient bushing assembly located within the recess and engaging the pivot. The at least one bushing assembly is resiliently deformable in a circumferential direction to permit pivoting of the pivot with respect to the recess, and is fixedly connected within the recess to resiliently bias the pivot towards a rest position with respect to the recess. The track system further includes leading and trailing idler wheel assemblies rotatably connected to the at least one wheel-bearing frame member, and an endless track.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING GROUND INCLINATION OF ROTARY CUTTING MACHINES
A machine for road work can comprise a frame, a plurality of ground engaging units, a plurality of vertically moveable legs, each leg connecting one of the plurality of ground engaging units to the frame, a pair of spatial sensors, such as global navigation satellite system (GNSS) sensors, and a controller configured to, in response to a three-dimensional signal received from each of the spatial sensors, activate at least some of the plurality of vertically moveable legs.
INCLINATION CONTROL FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINES
A system may include a first transportation device, a controller, and an inclination control system. The controller can control a construction machine including the first transportation device, which can move the construction machine over an operating surface. The inclination control system includes first and second slope sensors. The first slope sensor is coupled to the first transportation device and the second slope sensor is coupled to the construction machine. The controller controls the construction machine based on inclination information received from the inclination control system.
Tracked piste grooming vehicle for maintenance and shaping of snowy terrain
Tracked piste grooming vehicle for maintenance and shaping of snowy terrain, including a crawler chassis which includes, on each side of the chassis, a respective drive wheel, at least four running wheels and a tension wheel, all enclosed by a crawler chain, wherein each running wheel is mounted on a chassis frame in a pretensioned manner by a suspension. Each side of the chassis includes five respective running wheels, with the suspensions thereof having a different pretensioning distribution considered over a vehicle length.
