ABSTRACT:
A work vehicle configuration has the engine directly over the front axle, the cooling system radiator far enough forward to allow even large tires to turn into the volume defined between the radiator and the engine, and a tall but very narrow transmission forward of the operator enclosure. This allows the vehicle to be provided with a wasp-waist, significantly improving visibility. This also allows a recessed area in the vehicle body adjacent to the front tires, allowing a sharper turning radius and improved maneuverability. This placement of the transmission frees space under the operator enclosure, allowing use of a significantly larger fuel tank. Finally, the placement of the main vehicle components away from the front tires and out from under the operator enclosure allows improved access and serviceability for the tractor.
