Abstract

A machine includes a base having a front end and a rear end, a first assembly pivotably coupled to the front end of the base and including a first tractive element, a second assembly pivotably coupled to the rear end of the base and including a second tractive element, a first actuator coupled to a frontmost wall of the front end of the base and the first assembly, and a second actuator coupled to a rearmost wall of the rear end of the base and the second assembly.

Claims (12)

1 . A machine comprising:

a base having a front end and a rear end;

a first assembly pivotably coupled to the front end of the base, the first assembly including a first tractive element, a second tractive element, and a first axle coupled to and extending from the first tractive element;

a second assembly pivotably coupled to the rear end of the base, the second assembly including a third tractive element and a second axle coupled to and extending from the third tractive element;

a first actuator comprising a first actuator end and a second actuator end, the first actuator end directly coupled to a frontmost wall of the front end of the base, and the second actuator end directly coupled to the first assembly along the first axle;

a second actuator comprising a third actuator end and a fourth actuator end, the third actuator end directly coupled to a rearmost wall of the rear end of the base, and the fourth actuator end directly coupled to the second assembly along the second axle; and

a third actuator coupled to the frontmost wall of the front end of the base and the first assembly.

2 . The machine of claim 1 , further comprising a boom coupled to the base.

3 . The machine of claim 2 , further comprising a turntable coupled to the base, wherein the boom is coupled to the turntable.

4 . The machine of claim 1 , wherein the first actuator and the third actuator are selectively fluidly couplable to each other and selectively fluidly decouplable from each other.

5 . The machine of claim 1 , wherein the first tractive element is spaced entirely forward of the frontmost wall of the base.

6 . The machine of claim 5 , wherein the third tractive element is spaced entirely rearward of the rearmost wall of the base.
