Patent number: 10801178Abstract: A work machine comprising a frame and a ground-engaging mechanism, the ground-engaging mechanism configured to support the frame on a surface, a boom assembly coupled to the frame, the boom assembly having a pair of boom arms pivotally coupled to the frame and moveable relative to the frame by a pair of boom hydraulic cylinders, an attachment coupler coupled to a distal section of the boom arms, and an attachment. The attachment comprises a work tool. The work tool is coupled to the C-frame. A pair of first C-frame sections are pivotally coupled to the frame of the work machine, and a second C-frame section is pivotally coupled to the attachment coupler, wherein actuating the pair of boom hydraulic cylinders engages the boom arms, pitching the attachment upwards or downwards.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Nilesh Kumbhar, Michael Tigges, Brett Graham, Jason Simmons, Nicholas Rokusek, Anil Sharma
