Landluvr™ track undercarriages utilize a unique but simple
patent pending design.
The primary goal in the Landluvr™ design is to keep even
weight distribution on each wheel at all times, whether on smooth
or uneven terrain. This is accomplished using pivots. The placement
of the pivots is how Landluvr™ accomplishes even weight distribution.
Landluvr wheels not only pivot front to back, but also side to
side, which keeps equal pressure on both sides of the guide blocks.
This is important when driving along or in a road ditch, on levees,
or on the edge or crown of a road. This assists in belt tracking
and prevents high pressure points which over time can damage belts.
Another Landluvr™ advantage is its unique flexibility which greatly
reduces the jarring and jolting that are common with solid frame
undercarriages. When a Landluvr™ track runs over on obstacle, (rock,
log, ridge, etc.) the main cross axle only rises up a fraction of
the height of the obstacle. This is key to a smooth ride which in
turn means less implement fatigue.
Another patent pending feature of the Landluvr™ design is the use
of air springs to maintain tension on the belt and an over the center
design which increases tension on the belt as the load increases.
All the pivots areas have long-wearing, replaceable bushings that
do not require greasing. This means very little maintenance is required.
