A work machine, such as a skid steer loader or a compact track loader, includes a directional air intake assembly with a directional cap positioned on an intake pipe for selectively drawing ambient air into an internal combustion engine. A cooling vent ejects air heated by a rear-mounted engine upwardly into the atmosphere. Extending higher than and adjacent to the cooling vent, the directional cap has an elongated head that blocks ingress to the intake pipe other than through an opening at a face of the cap. Selectively positioning and angling the opening between a side of the loader and an edge of the cooling vent avoids taking in debris from near the wheels or tracks, avoids taking in heated air from the cooling vent, and takes advantage of negative pressure caused by the updraft from the cooling vent to remove particulates, resulting in cleaner air for the engine at close to ambient temperature.

Cabin light for machine

A cabin light includes a panel coupled with a light source. The panel includes a pair of longitudinal portions extending along a longitudinal axis of the cabin light, a first lateral portion extending between the longitudinal portions along a lateral axis of the cabin light, and a second lateral portion extending between the longitudinal portions along the lateral axis. Each longitudinal portion includes a first surface and a second surface disposed at an offset from the first surface. The first lateral portion defines a first length and includes a first raised surface. The second lateral portion defines a second length, and includes a second raised surface. The cabin light also includes cover in alignment with the light source. The cabin light further includes a switch disposed between the cover and the second lateral portion.

An excavator machine includes an undercarriage assembly including a drive assembly, and a carriage assembly rotatably coupled to the undercarriage assembly and including an operator cab positioned at a front of the carriage assembly. The excavator machine also includes a boom assembly. The boom assembly is coupled to the carriage assembly via two branches, and the branches are coupled to the carriage assembly on opposing sides of the operator cab.

A track-type machine includes first and second ground-engaging track assemblies, each having a drive motor, and a propulsion system including an operator station with first and second joysticks, and a travel control system including input devices resident on the first and second joysticks. The input devices are adjustable to vary at least one of a speed or a direction of the drive motors in the track assemblies. Adjustment of the drive motor speed can be in proportion to an adjustment of the corresponding input device.
