Abstract: A four-bar assembly for a linkage assembly includes an arm pivot pin pivotally coupling a front arm with a rear arm of the linkage assembly. The arm pivot pin forms a first vertex of the four-bar assembly. A distal end of the front arm forms a second vertex of the four-bar assembly. The four-bar assembly includes a tilt cylinder having a first end and a second end. The first end of the tilt cylinder is pivotally coupled to a bracket angularly extending from the rear arm at a first end pin. The first end pin forms a third vertex of the four-bar assembly and the second end of the tilt cylinder forms a fourth vertex of the four-bar assembly respectively. An angle formed at the arm pivot pin and defined between the rear arm and the bracket lies between 0 and 90 degrees.

Abstract: A hitch assembly to hoist a machine having at least one wheel rim includes a mounting flange configured to be disposed on an outer face of the wheel rim; and a hitch protruding from the mounting flange and extending longitudinally away from the outer face of the wheel rim. The hitch assembly further includes an elongated receiver component selectively coupled to the hitch, the receiver component having a first end adapted to releasably engage with the hitch; and a hook element rotatably coupled to a second end of the receiver component, the hook element being configured to rotate about the receiver component.
