ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises at least one cylinder, such as a hydraulic cylinder connected between a vehicle or machine upper structure frame and a dual track undercarriage which is used to shift the weight of a tracked vehicle so that the vehicle or machine turns easier, suffers less componentry wear, and inflicts less damage on a surface under the tracked vhiicle or machine. A simple electronic control can be used to permit an operator to indicate the desired direction of turn, which then actuates a sensor which signals an electric solonoid operated hydraulic valve which then directs hydraulic fluid to the cylinder which shifts the weight as required for the direction of turn.
