Abstract

An agricultural application machine comprising at least a pair of transversely spaced wheels is provided. Each wheel has an associated wheel carrier (18) mounted to a chassis by variable height suspension means to allow the ground clearance of the chassis underside to be adjusted. Each suspension means comprises an upper arm (23) and a lower arm (24) of unequal length, wherein each arm is connected between the chassis and the wheel carrier at respective pivotal joints (30, 31) thereby forming a four-bar linkage arrangement. The geometry of the arms and their pivotal mountings allows movement of the carrier in a plane which is substantially vertical and transverse to the longitudinal axis of the machine whilst the wheel track remains substantially constant over the range of possible heights.
