A trailer for towing by a power vehicle is provided and generally includes a frame and a tandem wheel assembly. The frame forms an undercarriage chassis which the tandem wheel assembly is positioned there under. The undercarriage chassis includes a steerable rear wheel assembly, a steerable front wheel assembly, and an extension assembly moving the front wheel assembly between trailing position and a self-propelled position where the rear wheel assembly and the front wheel assembly are positioned to equally support the undercarriage chassis.

An independent suspension system for a vehicle includes: a steering unit configured to be controlled to adjust the steering angle of a wheel, a shock absorber engaged with the wheel and configured to absorb impacts applied to the wheel and including a first shock absorber and a second shock absorber, each of which arranged in a forward-rearward direction on opposite side surfaces of the wheel, and a link unit disposed between the shock absorber and the steering unit in order to vary the distance between the wheel and the steering unit. The link unit includes a first upper arm disposed between the first shock absorber and the steering unit, a second upper arm disposed between the second shock absorber and the steering unit, and at least one ground clearance adjustment unit engaged with the first and second upper arms in order to vary the distance between the first and second upper arms.

A vehicle suspension assembly includes a trailing axle carried by a frame of the assembly. The frame can retract to a retracted state from an extended state and extend from the retracted state to the extended state. The retraction and extension can occur along a longitudinal axis of the frame. An operator can pivotally raise and lower a free end of frame in the retracted or extended state along an arcuate path when the vehicle suspension assembly connects to a vehicle.

An apparatus for pivotally fixing a non-driven wheel assembly to a vehicle frame is disclosed. The apparatus provides a trough through which non-driven wheel assembly components can be passed and protected. In one embodiment, the trough is circular in shape and is fully enclosed by the apparatus. In other embodiments, the trough has various shapes and comprises retaining members to secure and protect non-driven wheel assembly components. A suspension system interface is provided that allows the apparatus to suspend the non-driven wheel assembly. Openings used to pivotally and rigidly fix a mounting plate, suspension system, pivotal axes, and fender assemblies are also disclosed and claimed herein.

A work vehicle includes a plurality of traveling devices driven for traveling, a plurality of articulated link mechanisms having a plurality of links pivotally coupled to each other to provide two or more joints and configured to independently support the traveling devices to a vehicle body with allowing lifting/lowering of the traveling devices independently relative to the vehicle body, and a plurality of hydraulic cylinders capable of changing respective postures of the plurality of links included in the articulated link mechanisms. A first link located at a position nearest the vehicle body is supported to be pivotable about a body side coupling portion. A first hydraulic cylinder for operating the first link has its cylinder tube side pivotally coupled to a coupled portion on the side of the vehicle body and has its piston rod side pivotally coupled to a coupled portion on the side of the first link.

The present disclosure illustrates a motorized mount with a plurality of degrees of freedom coupled to a seating system. The motorized mount assembly can include an attachment assembly configured to attach to a seating assembly. A vertical control assembly can be connected to the attachment assembly with an arm having a first end attached to vertical control assembly by a first hinge. A mounting assembly can be attached to a second end of the arm. The mounting assembly can configured to receive a personal computing device. A linear actuator may be attached to the vertical control assembly to raise and lower the arm and mounting assembly. A first motor can be configured to attach to the arm. A second motor can be configured to attach between the arm and the mounting assembly.

The link unit includes a first upper arm disposed between the first shock absorber and the steering unit, a second upper arm disposed between the second shock absorber and the steering unit, and at least one ground clearance adjustment unit engaged with the first and second upper arms in order to vary the distance between the first and second upper arms.

A suspension and clearance assembly includes a wheel hub and a hub attachment component. A suspension component is pivotally attached to the hub attachment component at one end, and a first clearance linkage is attached to the hub attachment component with a first pivot and with a second pivot to another end of the suspension component. A second clearance linkage is attachable to an agricultural machine frame and includes a pivot end attached to a third pivot of the first clearance linkage. One end of a cylinder is attached to the first clearance linkage and another end is pivotally attached to the second clearance linkage The cylinder retracts and extends to raise and lower the agricultural machine frame for variable ground clearance. Movements and/or vibrations between the wheel hub and the agricultural machine frame may be damped or suspended hydraulically with the suspension component.
