SELF-STEERING AGRICULTURE GRAIN CARTS AND MANURE TANKS

摘要

A frame and undercarriage track mounted assembly for a grain cart or manure tank unit designed to be pulled in a forward direction over and agricultural field by a farm tractor is disclosed. The invention involves a steering axle assembly that is adapted to turn dual spaced track assemblies. The steering axle is easily guided to improve the maneuverability and safety of the unit and reduce field compaction. The steering system design features compound angled kingpins that transfer some of the unit weight to assist in turns. Thus, the steering system reduces the resistance of the unit steering system to turning and the large footprint of the track assemblies minimizes ground compaction during turns.
