<p>A turret (14) mounted compact tool carrier (10). The tool carrier (10) is a small, ride-on machine. The tracked substructure (24) is connected to the upper section (16) of the machine (10) by a 360 degree turret (14), which allows the upper section (16) of the machine (10) to face any direction, independent of the direction of the tracks (26). The distance between the tracks (26) is adjustable, depending on particular application. An operator rides on a platform (54) at the back (53) of the upper section (16), while a work tool (22) is connected to the front of the upper section (16). Thus, the operator always maintains a line-of-sight parallel to the direction of operation of the work tool (22), resulting in a greater degree of safety. The machine (10) has lift arms (66) that are extendable (108), allowing the work tool (22) to be pushed without operating the tracks. These features give the tool carrier (10) the ability to fully operate in narrow spaces and with limited operation of the tracks (26), resulting in more efficient use and less ground damage than traditional skid loaders.</p> |
