Milling machine having pivot arms offset from engine output shaft

A milling machine, comprising:

• a frame extending from a front end to a rear end along a longitudinal direction;
• a left front wheel disposed adjacent the front end of the frame;
• a right front wheel disposed adjacent the front end and spaced apart from the left front wheel;
• a left rear wheel disposed adjacent the rear end of the frame;
• a right rear wheel disposed adjacent the rear end and spaced apart from the left rear wheel;
• a left front leg connecting the frame and the left front wheel;
• a right front leg connecting the frame and the right front wheel;
• a left rear leg connecting the frame and the left rear wheel;
• a right rear leg connecting the frame the right rear wheel;
• a left arm pivotably connected to the frame and extending from the frame towards the front end of the frame;
• a right arm pivotably connected to the frame and extending from the frame towards the front end of the frame, the left arm and the right arm having a pivot axis disposed transverse to the longitudinal direction of the frame;
• a cross tube connecting the left arm and the right arm;
• at least one arm actuator connecting the frame and the cross tube;
• a milling drum rotatably connected to free ends of the left and right arms;
• an engine disposed transverse to the frame and having an output shaft configured to rotate the milling drum via a belt drive, an output shaft axis of the output shaft being disposed parallel to and spaced apart from the pivot axis;
• wherein the pivot axis is disposed between the output shaft axis and a rotational axis of the milling drum along a travel direction of the machine.
