Abstract
A linkage for moving an implement between a working state and a stowed state with respect to a frame of a machine. The linkage includes a carriage, at least one arm assembly, and one or more bump stops. The carriage is configured to support the implement. The arm assembly is coupled to the carriage and is pivotable with respect to the carriage to move the implement to the stowed state. The bump stops are configured to contact an arm, of the arm assembly, in the stowed state of the implement to isolate impact stress away from the frame and onto the linkage.
