Abstract
A support structure for a track system is disclosed. The support structure has leading and trailing linkages which are pivotally connectable to a frame member of the track system through, respectively, leading and trailing pivots. The leading linkage is pivotally connected to the trailing linkage through an intermediate pivot. The support structure has at least one biasing assembly. Leading, intermediate and trailing support wheel assemblies are connected to the support structure, which is adapted to move such that when the leading support wheel assembly moves in a first direction, the intermediate support wheel assembly moves in a second direction, and the trailing support wheel assembly moves in the first direction. A track system having the support structure and a vehicle having the track system is also disclosed.
