Abstract
A resilient push dozer arrangement includes a push dozer transversely disposed at one end of a vehicle and a push arm rigidly secured to and extended from the dozer in juxtaposition to a longitudinally extending mounting frame of the vehicle. The distal end of the push arm is attached to the mounting frame through a device which permits limited longitudinal movement of the dozer relative to the mounting frame. An apparatus for cushioning the longitudinal movement of the push dozer toward the vehicle is provided so that the shock loads applied to the dozer are cushioned thereby and transmitted to the mounting frame at a point widely spaced from the attachment device.
