A ladder for an agricultural vehicle may comprises a first frame member and a second frame member. Each frame member may have an upper portion and a lower portion. At least one foot support body may be operably connected to each of the frame members. The upper portion of each frame member may be operably connected to a frame of the agricultural vehicle. The frame of the agricultural vehicle may comprise a fore and an aft. The ladder may comprise a deployed position and an angled stowed position. The angled stowed position may comprise the first frame member and the second frame member being upward and rearward towards the aft of the agricultural vehicle frame.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for deaeration of a liquid. Liquid may be impinged onto an inclined baffle and forced through a first plurality of apertures that direct the liquid in one or more directions away from one or more outlets of a reservoir. The liquid may be passed through a second plurality of apertures. Flowing the liquid as described promotes a circuitous route of travel and provides a residence time inside of the reservoir that promotes release of entrained air.

An agricultural vehicle suspension may comprise a spring and a first spindle operably coupled with the spring in a spindle axial direction. A stop body may be operably coupled to the first spindle in a cylinder axial direction. The stop body may be configured to limit an axial length of travel of the suspension relative to the first spindle. The first spindle may be a steering spindle or a suspension spindle.

The working clearance height of a high-clearance vehicle is normally established by four main suspension spindles that are respectively received for reciprocating within upright journals provided at the opposite ends of front and rear axle assemblies of the vehicle main frame, with the bottom end each of the main spindles being received in a bore at the top of an associated wheel motor housing that serves also as a wheel hub mounting bracket. In order to increase the working clearance height of the vehicle, an optional elongate spacer assembly is mounted between the bottom of each elongate main suspension spindle and the associated wheel motor housing. Each main suspension spindle is inclined slightly outwardly relative to a vertical plane extending in the direction of travel of the vehicle and, in order for the spacing between tires at opposite sides of the vehicle to remain the same, with or without the usage of the spacer assemblies, each spacer assembly includes a coupler spindle extending parallel to, and offset inwardly from, a pivot axis of the associated main suspension spindle by a distance calculated to result in the desired tire spacing, this coupler spindle being received in the bore at the top of the associated wheel motor housing.
