The invention relates to a deflector arrangement (100) for a tracked vehicle (V). Said tracked vehicle (V) comprises at least one track assembly (T1, T2) comprising two end wheels (1, 2) in the form of a front wheel (1) and a rear wheel (2), and further a plurality of road wheels (3) there between. At least one of the front wheel (1) and rear wheel (2) is a drive wheel (1) and at least one of the front wheel (1) and rear wheel (2) is a tension wheel (2). The track assembly (T1, T2) further comprises an endless track (4) disposed around said end wheels (1, 2) and plurality of road wheels (3). Said deflector arrangement (100) is configured to reduce ingestion of undesired material from the ground (G) into said track assembly (T1, T2) and remove such undesired material from said track assembly (T1, T2). Said deflector arrangement (100) is associated with an end wheel (1, 2) and is resiliently suspended and biasedly arranged so as to strive towards the inner surface (4a) of the endless track (4).
A deflector arrangement for a tracked vehicle, said tracked vehicle comprising at least one track assembly comprising two end wheels in the form of a front wheel and a rear wheel, and further a plurality of road wheels there between, at least one of the front wheel and rear wheel being a drive wheel and the other of the front wheel and rear wheel being a tension wheel, the track assembly further comprising an endless track, said endless track being disposed around said end wheels and plurality of road wheels, said deflector arrangement being configured to reduce ingestion of undesired material from the ground into said track assembly and removal of such undesired material from said track assembly, said deflector arrangement being associated with an end wheel and being resiliently suspended and biasedly arranged so as to strive towards an inner surface of the endless track, wherein said deflector arrangement comprises a support wheel arrangement configured to roll against the inner surface of said endless track during movement of said vehicle.
