Abstract
A high clearance farm tractor is capable of accepting different front attachments to enable it to operate as either a swather or a sprayer. The front and rear sections of the vehicle's chassis are connected by an articulating oscillating joint which permits the vehicle's rear wheels to follow the path of the front wheels while turning thereby reducing damage to crops. The oscillating nature of the joint improves traction by allowing the wheels to always have full contact with the ground. A rear mounted engine counterbalances the weight of a front mounted attachment such as a swather head. The mounting of the cab on the front section of the vehicle away from the engine reduces noise experienced by the operator and permits the operator to have a direct line of sight to the operation of the vehicle. The use of active suspension and chemical application rates permit the vehicle to be transported and operated at higher speeds.
