Abstract: A land vehicle includes a body, a technical compartment opening onto an outer wall of the body; and a closing device that closes the technical compartment. The closing device includes first and second flaps, which are rotatable relative to the body, and a central element, which is connected to the body between the flaps. In a closed configuration of the closing device, each of the flaps extends in a longitudinal direction with one end of each in contact with the central element, so that the flaps close the technical compartment. In an open configuration of the closing device, both of the flaps folded against the outer wall or against the central element, so as to provide access to the technical compartment.

Abstract: A tractor vehicle has a driving station including a driver's seat and steering console which is mounted on a base for swivelling movement about a vertical axis through 180.degree. between a tractor configuration and a pushing power unit configuration. In the latter configuration the driving station is supported on a higher tractor cab floor level to enable the driver to see over equipment being pushed. The driving station has a support which is connected to the tractor cab floor by at least one parallelogram linkage and weight compensating springs which lift the support off the cab floor.

Abstract: A device for automatically coupling an implement to a vehicle comprises a rigid frame pivotally mounted on the chassis of the vehicle and extending generally horizontally therefrom. A hitching frame is pivotally mounted on the horizontal frame and carries upper and lower pairs of hitching jaws engageable with horizontal support bars of the implement. A double-acting ram is operatively connected to the hitching frame to pivot the hitching frame relative to the rigid frame during coupling and uncoupling operations.
