Abstract
A work vehicle includes a first ground-engaging implement and a second ground-engaging implement connected to a chassis. The first ground-engaging implement moves within a first movement envelope with respect to the chassis, and the second ground-engaging implement moves within a second movement envelope with respect to the chassis. A lift arm is connected to the chassis and positioned between the first and second ground-engaging implements. The lift arm moves along a range of movement between a raised position and a lowered position. The lift arm is entirely positioned outside both of the first movement envelope and the second movement envelope within the entire range of movement between the raised position and the lowered position, such that the lift arm is permitted to move along the entire range of movement between the raised position and the lowered position without abutting the first movement envelope or the second movement envelope.
