John Deere anti-vibration undercarriage

An anti-vibration undercarriage system for the 333G compact track loader from John Deere, Moline, Ill., is designed to enhance machine operation by reducing machine vibration and increasing operator comfort. Key features include an isolated undercarriage, bogie rollers, updated grease points, hydrostatic hose protection shield and rubber isolators. These features also enable the machine to travel at higher speeds while retaining material on the job.

The bogie roller system allows for oscillating movement of the rollers, promoting smoother transitions when cresting a hill, improved stability on uneven grounds and enabling larger debris to pass between the roller and track system. The updated design also features a new oscillating bogie arm. An angled steel shield was added to protect the hydrostatic hoses from exposure to debris. Rubber isolators were implemented to offer longer track life and allow easier repairs.
