Abstract: A segmented rubber track having a plurality of rubber track segments is disclosed. The rubber track segments include first and second ends that include rubber bushings through which a connecting pin is inserted. The connecting pin connects one rubber track segment to another rubber track segment.

Abstract: Compact track loaders include a main body having a pair of drive shafts extending from opposing sides of the main body and an engine which drives the pair of drive shafts, and two track suspension systems, where each of the two track suspension systems is securely attached to each drive shaft of the pair of drive shafts, and the suspension system includes a positive drive wheel, a chassis, a front idler, a rear idler, and a plurality of rollers. An endless track is securely and movingly mounted onto each of the track suspension systems, and the endless track includes an elongate carcass, an outer portion having a plurality of ground engaging tread lugs, and an inner portion having a plurality of elastomeric guide-drive lugs. Only the two track suspension systems propel and steer the compact track loader, and vibration level is decreased up to 3 dB, 5 dB, or even 7 dB.

Abstract: A suspension system for a tracked work vehicle is provided that includes an undercarriage beam and a roller wheel beam assembly having a plurality of roller wheels and a roller wheel beam having a front clevis and a rear clevis. The suspension system also includes a front bushing mount coupled to the front clevis and a rear bushing mount coupled to the rear clevis. Moreover, the front bushing mount and the rear bushing mount are rigidly coupled to the undercarriage beam and configured to damp roll of the roller wheel beam relative to the undercarriage beam. Additionally, the suspension system includes at least one vertical mount disposed between the roller wheel beam and the undercarriage beam. Each of the at least one vertical mount is configured to provide vertical support for the roller wheel beam and to damp vertical movement of the roller wheel beam relative to the undercarriage beam.

Abstract: A bush type mounting device includes an outer sleeve; an intermediate sleeve, radially inward from said outer sleeve defining an annular space; an inner portion radially inward from said intermediate sleeve; a spring material bonded to an outer surface of the inner metal and to an inner surface of said intermediate sleeve diametrically located to provide said device with a main fluid chamber and at least two additional fluid chambers, each containing a fluid and said main chamber being fluidly connected to the first fluid chamber and said first chamber is fluidly connected to the second fluid chamber; an inertial damping channel molded in the annular space connecting the main and said second fluid chamber; and a coupling/decoupling means to alternately couple and at least partially decouple the vibration damping action of the fluid flow through the damping channel, where the coupling/decoupling means includes a flexible extensible elastomeric diaphragm sealingly attached to the intermediate sleeve to create a
