Frame
Full box-section with torque tube
crossmember.
Features
■ integral front bumper
■ box-section upper cross-member for
body and ROPS support with
attachment points for maintenance
platform and rear engine hood hinge
support
■ castings are used to provide best load
path transfer through critical stress
regions
■ mild-steel plates (290 mPa/42,000 psi
minimum yield strength) and castings
(275 mPa/40,000 psi minimum yield
strength) provide:
- flexibility
- durability
- good resistance to impact loads
Suspension
Independent, self-contained, oil-
pneumatic suspension cylinder on each
wheel.
Features
■ variable rebound rate reduces impact
and smooths ride
■ front suspension cylinders are bolted
to upper and lower frame members for
maximum support
■ 4-bar link to frame and differential
housing, minimizes lateral sway,
improves machine handling and
operator comfort
