Abstract This invention relates to an earth-working machine comprising a platform equipped with a driver''s cabin which is fast therewith and is oriented in the direction of translation of the machine, and with an operating equipment mounted to pivot, with respect to the driver''s cabin, about a substantially vertical axis, said operating equipment being able to pivot at least substantially through 90*, while the axis of rotation is disposed to the side of the driver''s cabin, wherein said driver''s cabin is disposed at the front of the platform, while rotation locking means may render integral the operating equipment and the driver''s cabin for two positions of the operating equipment moved from one to the other by a pivoting through at least 90*.
An earth-working machine comprising, a mobile chassis, a platform pivotally mounted on the chassis for horizontal rotational movement thereon, a driver''s cabin fixed to the platform and oriented in the direction of mobility of the chassis, earth-working equipment pivotally mounted on the platform at one side of the driver''s cabin for movement from a position projecting forwardly of the chassis in view from the driver''s cabin to a position removed therefrom through an angle of at least 90*, wherein the pivotal connections of the platform to the chassis and the earthworking equipment to the platform are coaxial, and means to lock the earth-working equipment in its extreme positions of pivotal rotation.

An earth-working machine comprising, a mobile chassis, a platform pivotally mounted on the chassis for horizontal rotational movement thereon, a driver''s cabin fixed to the platform and oriented in the direction of mobility of the chassis, earth-working equipment pivotally mounted on the platform at one side of the driver''s cabin for movement from a position projecting forwardly of the chassis in view from the driver''s cabin to a position removed therefrom through an angle of at least 90*, wherein the pivotal connections of the platform to the chassis and the earthworking equipment to the platform are coaxial, and means to lock the earth-working equipment in its extreme positions of pivotal rotation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
An earth-working machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein, the location of the driver''s cabin on the platform is forwardly of the coaxial pivotal connections.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
An earth-working machine as claimed in claim 2, wherein, the earth-working equipment in its forward locked position is parallel and at one side of the driver''s cabin, and in its other locked position is to the rear of the machine 180* from its forward position.
