The second suspension system includes a pair of elongated support strands, each having its ends connected to one of the side frame members, a pair of pulleys, each for rotatably receiving one of the strands, and adjustment blocks movably carried on each strand for establishing strand lengths between the side frame members and the pulleys to raise and lower the ends of the side frame members and maintain a desired angle of inclination thereof.
