UTILITY TRANSPORT TRACTOR WITH CARGO BOX AND CARGO BOX

摘要

A utility transport tractor having a cargo box (26) above the rear axle (15) with the operator's platform (18) forward of the rear axle (15) enabling additional seats (22, 24) to be included. To maintain the functionality of a conventional agricultural tractor (10), a tail gate (40) of the cargo box (26) and a portion (106) of the cargo box floor (34) can be raised to positions in which they both extend upwardly and forwardly toward the operator (102). In these positions, the three point hitch (28) at the rear of the tractor (10) is visible to the operator (102) as is typically the case conventional agricultural tractors. The tail gate (40) is mounted to the cargo box (26) for rotation about multiple axes (86, 88, 90, 92) to pivot the tail gate (40) to multiple open positions.
