Abstract
A floating axle assembly for a vehicle. The assembly comprises an axle extending transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and beneath its frame. Wheels are connected to the axle and reinforcement members extend rearwardly from the axle to attachment points on the frame. Hydraulic cylinder assemblies are positioned above the axle and provide required support. The axle is telescopic and height adjustable. The configuration allows the center area of the vehicle to be cleared for crop flow.
