Abstract

Existing track laying work machines fail to provide adequate suspension for reducing shock loads transmitted to machine components and the operator. The present suspension system provides suspension members interposed the main frame of the work machine and an elongated beam supported by first and second track roller frames. Cushioning members separate the roller frame from the elongated beam and drive wheel hub, to provide further isolation from shock and torsional movement of the roller frame.
