  • Publication number: 20180340301
    Abstract: An earth working machine encompasses a machine body having a machine frame and a drive configuration rotationally drivable relative to the machine frame around a drive axis (A). It further encompasses a working apparatus (32) for earth working to which the drive configuration is releasably connected in drive torque-transferring fashion for rotation together, the drive configuration projecting from an axial end axially into the working apparatus (32) and the working apparatus (32) being retained on the drive configuration, against axial displacement relative to the drive configuration, by an accessible central bolt arrangement having a bolt axis collinear with the drive axis (A).

  • Patent number: 10094079
    Abstract: The invention relates to a positioning arrangement for fitting an interchangeable milling assembly of a preset working width below the vertically adjustable chassis of a road milling machine, which chassis is carried on track-laying units. A vehicle carried on a plurality of wheels has a unit for receiving the milling assembly. The positioning arrangement has a handling chassis which can be lengthened in the longitudinal direction and to which the wheels are fixed. In a lowered position, the positioning arrangement, with the milling assembly resting on it, can be driven below the chassis of the road milling machine. In a raised position, the milling assembly can be fitted to the road milling machine.
