Abstract
A track assembly of a machine having a pair of parallel main tracks is provided. The pair of parallel main tracks is mounted to a chassis for supporting the machine on a ground surface. Each of the pair of parallel main tracks includes a first end portion and a second end portion coupled to the first end portion. The second end portion is proximate, with respect to the first end portion, to an earth moving tool coupled to a frame of the machine. The second end portion is adapted to pivot about the first end portion. The track assembly further includes an actuation system coupling the frame with the earth moving tool, such that a movement of the actuation system to operate the earth moving tool translates into a pivoting movement of the second end portion for moving the second end portion with respect to the ground surface.
