Abstract
A self-propelled implement carrier is provided with a main frame defining a longitudinal axis. A power plant is mounted on the main frame at one side of the longitudinal axis, thereby leaving a space for carrying an implement at a location which is coincident with the longitudinal axis. Spaced driven wheels are journalled on a drive axle projecting from the power plant across the longitudinal axis. Spaced steering wheels are journalled on a steering axle longitudinally spaced from the drive axle and projecting from the drive means across the longitudinal axis. An operator's cab is supported on the main frame generally on the longitudinal axis, laterally offset from the power plant.
Claims17
A self-propelled implement carrier, comprising:
- a main frame defining a central longitudinal axis and an open space generally centrally of the carrier;
- wheels journalled on axle means at opposite ends of the main frame and spaced on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis, at least the spaced wheels at one end of the frame being driven;
- drive means operatively associated with the driven wheels and mounted on the main frame to one side of the longitudinal axis and said open space;
- and
- an operator's cab supported above the main frame generally on the longitudinal axis laterally offset from the drive means and cantilevered therefrom generally perpendicularly of the longitudinal axis whereby the cab extends inwardly above said main frame to leave said open space beneath the cab and above the main frame.

- drive means mounted on the main frame at one side of the longitudinal axis, thereby leaving said space for carrying an implement at a location which is coincident with the longitudinal axis;
- wheels at opposite ends of the main frame and spaced on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis by means of axles mounted on the main frame and projecting from the drive means, at least the spaced wheels at one end of the main frame being driven;
- and
- an operator's cab supported above the main frame generally on the longitudinal axis laterally offset from the drive means and cantilevered above the main frame generally perpendicularly of a vertical plane including the longitudinal axis whereby the cab extends inwardly in an elevated location above the main frame to define an extension of said space beneath the cab.
