[0038] The spacing between the first screw hole 20 and the second screw hole 30 corresponds to the spacing between the two connecting brackets 10. The first screw hole 20 and the second screw hole 30 are provided in two groups, with four screw holes in each group.
[0039] The number of support rods 21 and bosses 31 corresponds to the number of the first screw holes 20 and the second screw holes 30.
[0040] When changing the wheelbase during use, loosen the connecting bolts and move the entire front axle, along with its connecting bracket 10, to the new position along the longitudinal direction of the tractor. Align the third screw hole 11 on the connecting bracket 10 with another set of pre-set screw holes on the front axle seat 2 and the oil pan 3, namely the first screw hole 20 and the second screw hole 30. Then, retighten the bolts. Different screw hole positions correspond to different wheelbases.
[0041] This invention enables flexible adjustment of the wheelbase. By changing the installation position of the connecting frame 10 on different sets of screw holes on the front axle seat 2 and the oil pan 3, the longitudinal position of the front axle 1 relative to the tractor body can be easily changed, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tractor wheelbase. This solves the problem of the existing fixed front axle and unchangeable wheelbase, thus enabling the tractor to better adapt to the needs of different scenarios such as heavy-load operations such as deep plowing / deep loosening and flexible operations in small spaces.
