  • Patent number: 8967319
    Abstract: A horizontal muffler for an agricultural vehicle is provided. One agricultural vehicle includes an exhaust system having a muffler configured to direct exhaust out of an engine and to reduce a noise of the exhaust. The agricultural vehicle also includes a steering wheel configured to control steering of the agricultural vehicle. The muffler is disposed forward of the steering wheel relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural vehicle. Moreover, the muffler extends in a substantially horizontal direction such that a flow of the exhaust through the muffler is substantially parallel to a ground surface.

  • Patent number: 8807633
    Abstract: A suspension system for a cab of an off-road vehicle includes a superstructure configured to receive a cab frame. The superstructure forms a framework, the corners of which receive suspension assemblies and dampers. The suspension assemblies include one or more springs or resilient elements to resist suspension motion, and the dampers provide dampening of the motion. Lateral and longitudinal suspension motions are resisted by links between the corners of the superstructure. An anti-roll bar reduces roll. The entire suspension system may be pre-assembled and then joined to the vehicle chassis frame. The cab frame may then be placed on the suspension system. Parts of the suspension system may interface with and be housed by roll-over protective structures.
