1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a technology of an engine supporting structure for a working vehicle.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the entire configuration of a backhoe.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an engine supporting structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of an area X of FIG. 2.
First, the entire configuration of a backhoe 100, which is a working vehicle, will be described. It is noted that the technological concept of the present invention is not limited to the backhoe 100 described below, but can generally be applied to working vehicles such as a construction equipment vehicle and an agricultural equipment vehicle.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the entire configuration of the backhoe 100. It is noted that an arrow F illustrated in the diagram represents the advancing direction of the backhoe 100.
As is illustrated in FIG. 1, the backhoe 100 is mainly constituted by a traveling apparatus 1, a working apparatus 2, and a rotation apparatus 3.
