The invention relates to an agricultural applicator and, more particularly, relates to a kingpin assembly for a three-wheeled agricultural applicator that enhances turning and maneuverability of the agricultural applicator.
Numerous types of agricultural applicators are available today. These can include a pull-type unit or a self-propelled unit. A certain known agricultural applicator is also referred to a “floater.” The floater is a large vehicle that uses oversized floatation tires to carry the vehicle across firm to muddy agricultural environments. One particular floater chassis assembly includes a pair of rear floatation tires and a single front floatation tire. The chassis assembly is configured to support one or more bulk storage tanks or bins of product for application in an agricultural environment, usually before planting in the spring or after harvest in the fall. The type of agricultural product e.g., fertilizer, herbicide, pesticide, nutrients, etc. can vary. The floater can also be utilized to tow various agricultural implements. The oversize-tired agricultural applicator is generally desired for its ability to maneuver heavy loads over extremely rough and difficult agricultural terrain with minimal soil compaction.
However, certain known floater-type agricultural applicators have drawbacks. In particular, turning the typical three-wheeled agricultural applicator generally causes the front floatation tire to slide or rut dirt, particularly when turning the applicator around at the end of an agricultural field.
Thus, there is a need for an agricultural applicator (e.g., three-wheeled floater) that enhances the ability to maneuver a turn without causing undesired sliding of the applicator or rutting of the agricultural field.
The present invention provides a frame assembly for an agricultural applicator. The frame assembly includes a forward end relative to a forward direction of travel of the agricultural applicator. The frame assembly is mounted on a series of wheel assemblies that includes a single front wheel assembly having a front floatation tire. The front floatation tire generally includes a tread having a central crown extending a circumference of the front tire. The tread further includes a first tread face extending in one direction from the crown and a second tread face extending in a second direction from the crown opposite the first tread face. The frame assembly further includes a fork assembly mounted on the front wheel assembly. The fork assembly includes a kingpin extending upward therefrom, the kingpin having a central axis. The central axis of the kingpin is positioned at an angle from vertical. The angle of the kingpin dictates the angle of the fork assembly such that, when the fork assembly is positioned to steer the agricultural applicator in a straight direction of the travel, the front tire is positioned such that a first alignment of the crown of the front tire is generally vertical. When rotating the fork assembly to turn the agricultural applicator a turn angle from the straight-forward direction of travel, the front tire is positioned in a second alignment such that the alignment of the crown of the front tire is aligned at a roll angle from vertical.
A preferred frame assembly includes a front bearing structure attached at the forward end of the frame assembly. The front bearing structure includes a spindle housing, the spindle housing including an opening aligned along a central axis. The opening in the spindle housing is configured to receive the kingpin. The alignment of the spindle housing dictates the alignment of the kingpin. Accordingly, the central axis of the opening in the spindle housing and the kingpin is aligned at an angle with respect to vertical. The front bearing structure preferably supports the central axis of spindle housing at a six-degree angle from vertical. Accordingly, the central axis of the kingpin is aligned at a six-degree angle rearward from vertical, relative to the forward direction of travel. At this preferred kingpin alignment and when turning the agricultural applicator at a turn angle of 45-degrees, one of the first and second tread faces of the front tire is positioned generally parallel with the ground surface.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides an agricultural applicator that includes a frame assembly in support of a drive unit. The frame assembly is mounted on a series of wheel assemblies that includes at least one front wheel assembly. The at least one front wheel assembly includes an oversized floatation tire. The oversized floatation tire includes a tread having a central crown extending a circumference of the front tire. The tread further includes a first tread face extending in one direction from the central crown and a second face extending in a second direction from the crown opposite the first tread face. The frame assembly includes a fork assembly mounted on the at least one front wheel assembly. A kingpin extends upward from the fork assembly along a central axis. A forward end of the frame assembly preferably includes a spindle housing having an opening configured to receive the kingpin. The kingpin is aligned along the central axis such that, when the agricultural applicator is moving in a straight direction of the travel, the oversized floatation tire at the front wheel assembly is positioned in a first alignment such that its central crown is generally vertical. When turning the agricultural applicator a turn angle from the straight direction of travel, the oversized floatation tire of the front wheel assembly is positioned in a second alignment such that the central crown is aligned at a roll angle from vertical. A preferred embodiment of the kingpin and spindle housing is aligned at a six-degree angle in a rearward direction from vertical, relative to the forward direction of travel. At this kingpin alignment, when turning the agricultural applicator a turn angle of 45-degrees from the straight-forward direction of travel, one of the first and second tread faces of the front tire is positioned generally parallel with the ground surface in a direction of the turn angle of the fork assembly.
Yet another embodiment of the present invention provides a method of turning a three-wheeled agricultural applicator. The three-wheeled agricultural applicator generally includes a frame assembly having a fork assembly mounted on a single front wheel assembly. The fork assembly includes a kingpin extending generally upwards therefrom. The front wheel assembly includes an oversized floatation tire. The oversized floatation tire includes a tread having a central crown extending a circumference of the tire. The tread further includes a first tread face extending in a first direction from the crown, and a second tread face extending in a second direction from the central crown opposite the first tread face. The method includes positioning a central axis of the kingpin at the angle with respect to vertical relative to the forward direction of travel; rotating the fork assembly so as to cause a desired turn angle of the agricultural applicator with respect to the straight-forward direction of travel; and rotating the central crown of the front tire by a roll angle from vertical in a direction of the desired turn angle of the three-wheeled agricultural applicator. The positioning step includes mounting a spindle housing having an opening with a central axis and aligning the central axis of the spindle housing opening at the angle to position the kingpin. The applicator further includes a steering plate directly connected at the top surface of the kingpin. The preferred rotating step thus includes rotating the steering plate and connected fork assembly to cause a desired turn angle of the agricultural applicator.

A wide variety of vehicles could be constructed in accordance with the invention defined by the claims. Hence, while preferred embodiments of a kingpin assembly in accordance with the invention will now be generally described with reference to an agricultural applicator, it should be understood that the invention is in no way so limited. The enclosure can be configured for any type of vehicle (e.g., motorcycle, recreational vehicle, etc).
FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a kingpin assembly 20 in accordance with the present invention mounted on an agricultural applicator 25. The agricultural applicator 25 generally includes a cab (not shown) and a drive unit 30 supported by a frame assembly 35. The frame assembly 35 is mounted on the series of wheel assemblies. The preferred agricultural applicator is a floater-type agricultural applicator having a pair of rear wheel assemblies (not shown) and at least one front wheel assembly 40. The at least one front wheel assembly 40 generally includes a front shaft 42 mounted with a front wheel or tire 44. Although a three-wheeled floater-type agricultural applicator is shown, it should be understood that the number of wheel assemblies (e.g., a two-wheeled or a four-wheeled machine) can vary.
Referring to FIG. 2, the frame assembly 35 generally includes a first frame side support 45 and a second frame side support (not shown). The first frame side support 45 extends on one side of a central longitudinal axis (not shown) defined by the frame assembly 35 in a straight-forward direction of travel (illustrated by arrow 48) of the agricultural applicator 25. The second frame side support extends on the opposite side of the longitudinal axis relative to the first frame side support 45.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the frame assembly 35 further includes a front bearing structure or plate 50 that is raised relative to the first frame side support 45. The raised front bearing structure 50 is supported from the first frame side support 45 by a first angled support arm 55. A second angled support (not shown) interconnects the second frame side support (not shown) to the front bearing structure 50 in a similar manner. The first angled support arm 55 and the second angled support arm (not shown) position the raised front bearing structure 50 at an angle (θh) with respect to horizontal.
The frame assembly 35 further includes a fork assembly 60 that supports the front bearing structure 50 of the frame assembly 35 on the front wheel assembly 40. The fork assembly 60 generally includes a first fork 65 and a second fork 70 and a yoke portion 75 extending therebetween. The first and second forks 65 and 70 extend in a generally perpendicular direction downward from the yoke portion 75. The free end 80 of the first fork 65 and the free end (not shown) of the second fork 70 mount on the front shaft 42 of the front wheel assembly 40. The front wheel 44 is mounted at a generally central position along the front shaft 42 between the first and second forks 65 and 70.
The yoke portion 75 further includes an upper surface 90. Extending upward from the upper surface 90 of the yoke portion 75 is the kingpin assembly 20 in accordance with the present invention. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, he kingpin assembly 20 generally includes a kingpin 100 fastened (e.g., welded, etc.) to the upper surface 90 of the yoke portion 75 of the fork assembly 60. The kingpin 100 is configured to rotatably couple the fork assembly 60 and mounted front wheel assembly 40 with the front bearing structure 50 of the frame assembly 35.
Referring to FIGS. 1–3, the front bearing structure 50 includes a spindle housing 105 to receive the kingpin 100. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the spindle housing 105 includes an opening or borehole 110 extending therethrough. The spindle housing 105 is attached to the front bearing structure 50 such that a central axis 115 of the opening 110 is positioned at an angle (θv) with respect to vertical. The angle (θv) is in a rearward direction from vertical relative to the straight-forward direction of travel 48 of the agricultural applicator 25. The preferred spindle housing 105 is positioned such that the central axis of the opening 110 is at a preferred angle (θv) of about six degrees (�0.5degrees) from vertical. The kingpin 100 of the fork assembly 60 mounts in the spindle housing 105 of the front bearing structure 50 of the frame assembly 35. The angle of the spindle housing 105 dictates the angle (θv) of the kingpin 100 and respective fork assembly 60. Accordingly, the kingpin 100 is positioned in the spindle housing 105 at the preferred angle (θv) of six degrees with respect to vertical.
Referring to FIG. 3, the kingpin assembly 20 further includes a torque plate 130 and a series of O-rings 135, bearings 137, cones 140, and seals 145 configured in a known manner such that the kingpin 100 and attached fork assembly 60 rotate with respect to the front bearing structure 50 of the frame assembly 35. The kingpin 100 is secured in the spindle housing 105 of the front bearing structure 50 by any known kingpin fastener (e.g., weld, bolt, etc.).
Referring to FIGS. 1–3, a steering plate 155 is fastened to a top of the kingpin 100 by a series of steering plate fasteners 160. The steering plate 155 is configured to receive a well-known left-hand side steering actuator and a well-known right-hand side steering actuator (not shown), e.g., hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, etc., in a known manner. The left-hand and right-hand steering actuators are connected to a steering wheel in a cab (not shown) of the agricultural applicator 25 in a known manner such that rotation of the steering wheel is operable to extend or retract the left-hand and right-hand steering actuators so as to rotate the steering plate 155 with respect to a straight-forward direction of travel 48. Accordingly, the rotating steering plate 155 rotates the attached kingpin 100 and fork assembly 60 about the spindle housing 105 of the front bearing structure 50 to cause a desired turn angle of the agricultural applicator 25.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, the preferred front tire or wheel 44 is a standard oversized floatation tire having a crown 170 centrally disposed along its tread 175 for a circumference of the tire 44. The standard tread is forty-three inches wide. The tread 175 includes a first tread face 180 extending in a generally downward direction from the crown 170 in a first lateral direction. The tread 175 further includes a second tread face 185 extending from the crown 170 in a second lateral direction opposite the first lateral direction of the first tread face 180. The first and second faces 180 and 185 are generally flat and angled from the crown with respect to horizontal. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the crown 170 is generally vertically aligned when the agricultural applicator and fork assembly 60 is steered in a straight-forward direction of travel 48.
Referring to FIG. 5, when the fork assembly is rotated from being steered in a straight-forward direction of travel 48, the position of the kingpin at the preferred angle of six degrees with respect to vertical causes the crown 170 of front oversized floatation tire 44 to roll a roll angle (θR) from vertical toward the turn direction. The front oversized floatation tire 44 thus rolls the roll angle (θR) about the crown 170 onto one of the first and second tread faces 180 and 185 in the direction of the turn. More specifically, as illustrated by FIG. 5, when turning the agricultural applicator 25 and fork assembly 60 a first turn angle from the straight-forward direction of travel 48, the front floatation tire 44 rolls about the crown 170 onto the first tread face 180 towards the first turn direction. In a similar manner, when turning the agricultural applicator 25 and fork assembly 60 a second turn angle (not shown) from the straight-forward direction of travel 48 opposite the first turn direction (See FIG. 5), the front oversized floatation tire 44 rolls the roll angle (θR) about the crown 170 onto the second tread face 185 towards the second turn direction.
For a standard front floatation tire 44 turning at angle of about forty-five degrees from a straight-forward direction of straight travel 48, the six-degree angle of the kingpin 100 causes the front floatation tire 44 to roll a roll angle (θR) towards the turn direction such that one of the first or second tread faces 180 and 185 of the front floatation tire 44 is generally parallel with a flat ground surface 190. The parallel alignment of the first or second tread faces 180 and 185 with the flat ground surface 190 enhances contact of the front tire 44 with the ground surface 190. Thereby, the roll angle of the front floatation tire 44 enhances contact of the front floatation tire 44 with a flat ground surface, and thus reduces undesired sliding and rutting by the front tire 44.
The fork assembly 60 and kingpin assembly 20 of the present invention do not require any “trail” such that the bearing of the front tire 44 is located behind the fork assembly 60.

Blackstone Group LP has acquired more than 1,500 houses around Phoenix and Southern California. Photographer: Tony Avelar/Bloomberg News Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsApp Share on LinkedInShare on RedditShare on Google+E-mailShare on TwitterShare on WhatsApp Blackstone Group LP, the biggest buyer of U.S. commercial real estate since prices bottomed, is jumping into residential property as housing recovers.
Blackstone, which has loaded up on strip malls, warehouses and suburban office buildings in the past two years, is turning to residential real estate after a 34 percent plunge in prices since the 2006 peak. The New York-based company is the biggest investor seeking to enter the single-family leasing market as rents climb and the U.S. homeownership rate sits at a 15-year low, joining rivals including KKR & Co. and Colony Capital LLC. “It’s turning into a $10 billion industry,” said Colin Wiel, managing director and co-founder of Waypoint Homes, an Oakland, California-based company that has bought about 1,800 distressed homes for rent with backing from investors including GI Partners and Columbia University. “There’s a lot of competition.”
Distressed PropertiesSo far, Blackstone has acquired more than 1,500 houses around Phoenix and Southern California, the people said. It plans to buy in markets with the greatest supply of distressed properties, including Florida, Northern California and Georgia.
Peter Rose, a spokesman for Blackstone, declined to comment. Treehouse and Riverstone executives didn’t return phone calls seeking comment. About 6 million U.S. borrowers will lose their homes in the next five years because of inability to pay their mortgages, creating demand for as many as 4 million new rental households, according to Scott Simon, head of mortgage bonds at Pacific Investment Management Co. in Newport Beach, California. Tom Shapiro, chairman of GTIS Partners, estimates a $1 trillion market for single-family rentals. His New York-based real estate investment firm expects to invest $1 billion in the area by 2016.
Finding HomesCapitalizing on the distress requires solving a puzzle: how to buy enough homes and manage the properties in a way that’s economical. Bulk sales of repossessed homes by banks and U.S.- owned Fannie Mae have been relatively rare.
Buyers have been chosen for the largest group sale, about 2,500 homes repossessed by Fannie Mae, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said today in a statement. Winning bidders for the homes -- located in Atlanta, Chicago, Florida, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Phoenix -- won’t be named until after the transactions are completed.
20 Houses“While a lot of people are talking about it, very few have actually built significant portfolios and even fewer, if any, have achieved significant economies of scale,” said Stephen Coyle, chief investment officer of Cohen & Steers Global Realty Partners, the private-equity fund unit of the New York-based real estate stock investor. “The people who have made the most money at it are the guys who have, like, 20 houses or so.”
Smaller DeclinesIn the housing market, price declines are easing. The S&P/Case-Shiller index of values in 20 U.S. cities fell 1.9 percent in April from a year earlier, the slowest pace since 2010.
$525 BillionA publicly traded REIT that owns and manages single-family homes would be a new twist on a familiar structure that enables stock investors to take part in the real estate market. The REIT industry has an aggregate market value of about $525 billion, according to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, a Washington-based trade group.
Phoenix PricesIn Phoenix, one of the first markets targeted by investors in single-family rentals, the median price of a single-family house jumped more than 32 percent from May 2011 to May 2012 and the supply of for-sale homes fell by 50 percent, according to a June 27 report by Michael Orr, director of the real estate center at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.
Surging rental demand has pushed up apartment rents and occupancy enough to justify a rebound in new multifamily construction from 2009’s five-decade low. The Bloomberg Apartment REIT Index had a 181 percent total return in the three years through June, compared with 137 percent for the broader REIT index and 58 percent for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.
National Brand“As an asset class, single-family REITs will exist,” Colony Capital Chairman and CEO Tom Barrack told Bloomberg Television on March 20. “What you need is a national brand.”
Beazer RentalsThe KKR venture, Beazer Pre-Owned Rental Homes Inc., had raised $85.3 million as of May 15 through the sale of shares in a private REIT, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
