ABSTRACT:
A vehicle with a drive train having two shock-absorbing couplings. The drive train includes an engine, a transmission, the two shock-absorbing couplings connected together, a differential, a drive assembly and a rotatable assembly, such as a cutter drum. The transmission has a transmission output shaft which is connected by a universal joint to the first shock-absorbing coupling. Similarly, the differential has a differential input shaft which is connected by another universal joint to the second shock-absorbing coupling. The increased shock-absorbing capacity provided by two couplings reduces the failure rate of the drive train. To protect the drive train, a pair of shear members joined by shear bolts are used to connect the shock-absorbing couplings together.
