Abstract
A working machine including front and rear wheels or a pair of endless tracks supporting a body. A first working arm with a first implement mount is connected to the body. An apparatus with a collector having a first opening and a sweeper trailing the collector is mounted to the first implement mount. A second implement mount connected to the body, and a milling device is mounted to the second implement mount. The sweeper is configured and arranged to move surface material broken up by the milling device into the collector via the first opening.
Claims20
A working machine comprising:
- a ground engaging structure provided in the form of front and rear wheels or a pair of endless tracks;
- a body supported on the ground engaging structure;
- a first working arm connected to the body for performing work functions, the first working arm comprising a first implement mount at a distal end thereof;
- a second implement mount connected to the body;
- a milling device mounted to the second implement mount and configured to break up a surface, in use;
- and
- an apparatus mounted to the first implement mount for removing material from a surface, the apparatus comprising a collector having a first opening, and a sweeper trailing the collector in a preferred direction of operation of the apparatus,
- wherein the sweeper is configured and arranged to move surface material broken up by the milling device into the collector via the first opening.
