  • High Rotation Linkage Attachment for Hydraulic Lines
    Publication number: 20120306195
    Abstract: A work machine and work implement for a work machine are disclosed with a hydraulic system enabling greater rotation of the work implement relative to the work machine without providing excess hydraulic line to accommodate such rotation. More specifically, the work machine may include a first hydraulic fluid line extending from a pump of the work machine along a work arm pivotally attached to the work machine, and a second hydraulic fluid line extending from the work implement toward the work arm. The hydraulic swivel coupling may be provided at the a pivot point between the work arm and the work implement where the first and second hydraulic fluid lines can be connected to the hydraulic swivel coupling.
