Abstract
A track system for a vehicle having at least three axles is disclosed. The track system includes a frame to which sprocket, idler and support wheel assemblies are connectable, an endless track and a pivoting assembly. The pivoting assembly has a casing connectable to a second axle and at least one pivotable member that has first and second portions respectively pivotally connected to the casing and to the frame. The at least one pivotable member is pivotable between first and second positions about a longitudinally extending pivot, in response to which the first portion is displaced laterally relative to the second portion, and pivotable between third and fourth positions about a lateral pivot axis in response to which the first portion is displaced longitudinally relative to the second portion. A pivoting assembly, a pivoting assembly including a resilient assembly, and a vehicle having the track system are also disclosed.
