A suspension system for a vehicle cab, the suspension system comprising:
- a structural assembly;
- a cab mounted to the structural assembly;
- a front axle coupled to the structural assembly;
- plural suspension units arranged forward of the axle and disposed between the cab and the structural assembly;
- and
- plural isolation mounts arranged rearward of the axle and disposed between the cab and the structural assembly.
A vehicle, comprising:
- an engine;
- a structural assembly;
- a cab mounted to the structural assembly;
- a front axle coupled to the structural assembly;
- plural suspension units arranged forward of the axle and disposed between the cab and the structural assembly;
- and
- plural isolation mounts arranged rearward of the axle and disposed between the cab and the structural assembly.
A cab suspension method for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- navigating the vehicle along a surface, the vehicle comprising a cab mounted on a structural assembly and an axle coupled to the structural assembly;
- and
- dampening forces transmitted to the cab by dampening at a location rearward of the axle, between the structural assembly and the cab, high frequency vibrations generated by the windrower, and dampening at a location forward of the axle, between the structural assembly and the cab, primarily low frequency vibrations transmitted from the axle by virtue of the vehicle navigating the surface.
