ABSTRACT:
An improved tractor having a front section pivotally coupled to a rear section wherein the front section has a radiator, front wheels, and a tiltable cab. Wrapped around the radiator at the extreme end of the front section is a combination bumper and storing area for hydraulic fluid. The additional weight of the hydraulic storing area in front of the radiator substantially prevents front wheel slippage. Also mounted on the front section is a tiltable cab having air conditioning and a pedestal chair seating the operator. The air conditioning system is designed to force air from both a forward intake and a rearward intake between the top of the cab and a dome-shaped roof having a plurality of holes formed therein for uniformly distributing the air from the front and rear conditioners over the operator. The pedestal chair is designed to have forward and rearward movement as well as pivotal movement. Upwardly extending on one side of the chair from the pedestal is an arcuate support carrying the fluid power cables and terminating in an arm rest having hydraulic controls disposed in the front thereof. The front and rear sections of the tractors are designed to be of equal distance from the center coupler so that perfect tracking of the rear wheel in the paths of the front wheels is accomplished. Finally, the fenders of the tractor are designed to have mud balls substantially eliminated from forming thereunder.
