Abstract: A vehicle (10) intended for operation on level ground is equipped with a chassis (22) and a wheel carrier (50) on which a wheel (12) is supported. In order to operate the vehicle (10) on an incline, a pivoting arrangement (44) is inserted between the wheel carrier (50) and the chassis (22). The pivoting arrangement comprises a mount (52), a pivot arm (54) mounted therein and an actuating arrangement (56) to move the pivot arm (54). The attachment points on the chassis (22) or on a support (46) spaced at a distance thereto and on the wheel carrier (50) are configured in such a way that the wheel carrier (50) can be directly attached to the chassis (22) or to the pivoting arrangement (44).

Abstract: The operator enclosure for a self-propelled combine harvester is mounted on the combine body by a plurality of resilient mountings. The bottom of the enclosure is open so that when mounted on the combine, it encloses a floor space. This floor space is covered by a noise and vibration insulating material which extends to meet and partially support the walls of the enclosure. The floor covering and insulating element absorbs noise emanating directly from the combine body as well as contributing to the vibration isolating support of the enclosure itself. A forward pair of resilient mountings are arranged so that, pivoting on them, the enclosure can be tilted forward for improved access to the combine control area for adjustment and repair.
