Trenching machine with longitudinally stabilized main frame for stabilizing digging implement

摘要

An excavating machine has a track mounted main frame with a digging implement mounted to one end of the main frame for vertical adjustment in the usual manner. A stabilizer apparatus is pivotally mounted to the other end of the main frame. The stabilizer apparatus has a wheel that is forced against the ground to tilt the main frame longitudinally about the support track in order to dampen oscillations induced into the machine by the digging implement and to force the digging implement to engage the ground with a constant force which enables the excavating machine to excavate material in an improved manner.
