ABSTRACT:
A tractor of acceptable width for highway travel having a narrow body portion between the front and rear wheels, such width being less than the width of each pneumatic tire mounted on the wheels. Four side-by-side rotatably mounted tires on each axle have narrow body portions disposed centrally and closely between them, such body portions having an articulated connection about a vertical axis at the after part of the front wheels with the forward body portion extending forward from the front wheels where it mounts the engine and fuel tanks in a body part which is substantially wider than the portions to the rear thereof. The engine powers the front wheels and a power transmitting linkage connects it with the rear wheels through the front and rear body portions which, with lateral projections, house a differentials and the necessary shaft bearings. A lifting device extends rearwardly from the rear body portion to immediately behind the rear wheels wherein it connects a lateral part that functions to scrape mud or the like from the treads of the innermost rear tires. A cabin having an operator's seat and controls is disposed above the rear tires whereby the operator can view without leaving the cabin the outermost ends of the lifting device and any implement attached thereto. Steering and operating controls are mounted on a console in the cabin and are selectively turnable with the seat 180.degree. about a pivot under the seat.
