A swingarm includes a first swingarm leg oriented along a first horizontal plane, a main body extending upward and outward from a second end of the first swingarm leg, and a second swingarm leg extending from a second end of the main body along a second horizontal plane. The swingarm also includes a first bearing holder coupled to a first end of the first swingarm leg and a second bearing holder coupled to a second end of the second swingarm leg. The first bearing holder includes a cavity oriented horizontally to form a first pivot axis. The second bearing holder includes a cavity oriented vertically to form a second pivot axis. The first and second bearing holders are of the same construction.

A system is provided for directing airflow through an engine compartment of an off-road agricultural vehicle. The system may include an air dam that, in conjunction with an engine face, provides flow-directing baffling in the engine compartment that directs heated air from a radiator out discharge openings through side walls of a hood that covers the engine compartment. The air dam facilitates forcing heated air from the radiator sideways out the discharge openings of the hood, significantly reducing or preventing a radiator fan from pushing hot air to flow across the components of the rear engine compartment area, including preventing flow across a majority of air inlet components and engine surfaces that are rearward of the front engine face.
