Suspension stop for an agricultural vehicle

摘要

An agricultural vehicle is described having a front axle 30 mounted on a suspension in a manner that permits the front axle to move up and down in relation to the vehicle body and to pivot about the vehicle longitudinal axis 35 so as to allow the wheels on the ends of the axle 30 to move up and down independently. In the invention, a stop plate 12 is provided on the housing 10 of the axle 30 that projects vertically upwards towards the vehicle body and abutment surfaces 14, 16 are provided on the vehicle body that straddle the stop plate 12. The surfaces 14, 16 abut the side edges 18 of the stop plate 12 at the limit of the permitted range of rotation of the front axle 30 about the vehicle longitudinal axis 35.
