Abstract: The first suspension member is pivotally connectable to a frame assembly of the track system and defines a receptacle. The second suspension member is pivotally connectable to the frame assembly, extends at least partially within the receptacle, and is moveable relative to the first suspension member. The resilient member has a first surface that is generally fixedly connected to the second suspension member and a second surface that is generally fixedly connected to the first suspension member. The first and second suspension members have a first position, and in response to the first and second suspension members moving relative to one another, the resilient member biases the first 10 and second member toward the first position. A track system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A suspended undercarriage assembly connectable to a multi-member frame assembly of a track system includes a beam having a leading portion and a trailing portion, at least one support wheel assembly connectable to the beam, at least one of a leading resilient bushing assembly and a trailing resilient bushing assembly including a bushing having an opening defined therein and being shaped and dimensioned for promoting deformation of the bushing in at least one of a vertical direction and a lateral direction. The bushing is resiliently deformable to permit movement of the beam relative to the multi-member frame assembly in the vertical direction and in the lateral direction, and to resiliently bias the beam towards a rest position with respect to the multi-member frame assembly. A track system having the suspended undercarriage assembly is also provided.

Abstract: A modular frame for a track system is disclosed. The modular frame includes an upper frame member operatively connectable to an axle of a vehicle and removably connectable to a first lower frame member. The first lower frame member is configured to connect with at least one of a support wheel assembly and an idler wheel assembly, and connection of the upper frame member to the first lower frame member confers a first lower frame member-specific function to the track system. Another modular frame, track systems having the modular frames, tensioners and track systems having the tensioners are also disclosed.
