Abstract
An agricultural tractor () comprises an engine () and a cooling package () supported in front of a cab (). The cooling package comprises a radiator () and fan () disposed between the engine and cab, the radiator having a major surface which is aligned longitudinally so that an airflow forced through the radiator by the fan is generally transverse with respect to the tractor's forward direction of travel. The orientation of the radiator provides for a narrower front end installation which improves the driver's field of view and relaxes limitations on steering angles and cooling package size.
