Abstract

A ground processing machine, in particular compactor, comprises

• • a rear carriage (14) with an internal combustion engine (26),
  • respectively at least one drive wheel (20) to both sides of the internal combustion engine (26),
  • a driver cabin (22) arranged offset relative to the internal combustion engine (26) in the longitudinal direction of the machine (L),
  • a fuel tank (28) for fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine (26),
  • an additive substance tank (30),
  • a hydraulic fluid tank (32),
    wherein the additive substance tank (30) is arranged following a drive wheel (20) in the longitudinal machine direction (L), and essentially next to the drive wheel (20) in a transversal machine direction.

Claims

1. Ground processing machine, in particular compactor, comprising:

a rear carriage with an internal combustion engine,

respectively at least one drive wheel to both sides of the internal combustion engine,

a driver cabin arranged offset relative to the internal combustion engine in the longitudinal direction of the machine,

a fuel tank for fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine,

an additive substance tank,

a hydraulic fluid tank,

wherein the additive substance tank is arranged following a drive wheel in the longitudinal machine direction, and essentially next to the drive wheel in a transversal machine direction.

2. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein the additive substance tank is arranged immediately following the drive wheel in the longitudinal machine direction.

3. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein the additive substance tank is arranged between the drive wheel and the hydraulic fluid tank in the longitudinal machine direction.

4. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein the hydraulic fluid tank is arranged between the drive wheel and the additive substance tank in the longitudinal machine direction.

5. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein the additive substance tank and the hydraulic fluid tank are arranged essentially next to one another in the transversal machine direction.

6. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein the additive substance tank and/or the hydraulic fluid tank are arranged at least in areas below the driver cabin.

7. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein the fuel tank is arranged following the internal combustion engine in the longitudinal machine direction, and in a central region of the rear carriage in the transversal machine direction.

8. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein the additive substance tank and the fuel tank are arranged overlapping at least in part in the longitudinal machine direction.

9. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein a fuel tank filler neck of the fuel tank extends at least in areas between the additive substance tank and the drive wheel.

10. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein a fill opening of the fuel tank and/or a fill opening of the additive substance tank and/or a fill opening of the hydraulic fluid tank are arranged essentially following one another on the same side of the rear carriage and/or in the longitudinal machine direction.

11. Ground processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein a front carriage is connected with the rear carriage so as to be pivotable, wherein at the front carriage a floor processing roller can be rotated around a roller rotation axis extending essentially in the transversal machine direction.
