Abstract: An articulated joint (1) for an implement carrier vehicle (10), said articulated joint (1) being adapted to connect a front vehicle body (2) and a rear vehicle body (3). The articulated joint (1) comprises a socket (4) arranged in a first articulation link portion (5), said first articulation link portion being adapted to be connected to one of said front or said rear vehicle body (2, 3). The articulation joint (1) further comprises a stud (6) arranged in a second articulation link portion (7), and extending along an axis A, said second articulation portion (7) being adapted to be connected to another one of said front or rear vehicle body (2, 3), said stud being pivotally arranged in said socket (4), and at least one annular sealing device (8) at least partly enclosing said stud and socket, and wherein said annular sealing device (8) comprises a sealing flange (9).

Abstract: An implement carrier comprises an implement hydraulic system (44) adapted to supply hydraulic fluid to an implement (12). The implement hydraulic system (44) comprises an implement circuit (106) via which hydraulic fluid may be pumped to the implement (12) to power the same, and at least one of: a recirculation circuit (110) via which hydraulic fluid may bypass the implement (12), and a controllable variable flow implement hydraulic pump (38). A temperature control system (100) is arranged to compare a measured hydraulic fluid temperature to a minimum temperature of the hydraulic fluid. The temperature control system (100) is arranged to control, when the measured temperature is below the minimum temperature, a recirculation valve (60) to direct the hydraulic fluid pumped by the hydraulic pump (38) through the recirculation circuit (110) and/or the controllable variable flow implement hydraulic pump (38) to reduce the flow of hydraulic fluid pumped thereby.

Abstract: The inventions relates to an attachment device (1) for an implement (2) for an implement carrier vehicle (3), wherein the attachment device (1) is adapted to be fixedly attached to a vehicle, said attachment device (1) comprising: a main body (4) adapted to attach the implement (2) to, at least two elongated openings (5) in said main body (4) adapted to receive fastening bolts (6) for fastening the implement (2) to the attachment device (1), which bolts can move in the elongated openings (5), the at least two elongated openings being placed so that rotation of the implement (2) around an axis of rotation (x) is limited to the movement of the received bolts in the elongated openings, said axis of rotation (x) is located at a height from the bottom side of said main body of less than 40% of the total height of the main body (4).
