A crawler drive for an agricultural work machine, comprising front and rear main wheels, front and rear main frames associated with each respective main wheel, two support wheels, a running belt surrounding the two main wheels, and an articulation point through which the crawler drive is pivotably connected to a body of the agricultural work machine. The two main frames are coupled to one another to pivot about a common pivot axle, the support wheels are arranged on a common support frame, and the support frame is pivotably connected to the front main frame via a support wheel swing arm. The crawler drive further comprises a damping device with at least one piston-cylinder unit and hydraulically acting pressure device. The piston-cylinder unit is coupled at a swing arm end to the support wheel swing arm and at a frame end to the rear main frame.

Crawler drive for an agricultural work machine and agricultural work machine

A track drive of an agricultural production machine is disclosed. The track drive includes a driving wheel, a front deflection roller, a rear deflection roller, a continuous caterpillar track around the driving wheel and the deflection rollers, and middle rollers between the front and rear deflection roller. The track drive further includes a track frame and a swing frame. Using the swing frame, the track drive pivots about a first axis of the agricultural production machine, and the track frame pivots about a second axis of the swing frame. The second axis is at a distance from the first axis, and a spring system or damper system is positioned between the track frame and the pivot frame. The deflection rollers are positioned on the track frame with the middle rollers positioned on a common support element, which is positioned pivotably about a third axis on the track frame.
