Claim:
A tracked vehicle, comprising: two laterally spaced-apart front drive-track assemblies ( 10 ), each of which is pivotable around a substantially vertical axis and which are coupled for common turning, each drive-track assembly being carried by a vehicle chassis ( 11 ) via a vertically movable link device, which rests against the chassis via a spring-damper assembly ( 7 ), the drive-track assemblies being mechanically coupled by a parallel steering mechanism ( 23 - 26 ), which is maneuverable by a driver of the vehicle, wherein each drive-track assembly comprises a frame ( 39 ), which is pivotally mounted on a carrying element ( 19 ) carried by the link device so that the frame ( 39 ) is pivotable around a horizontal axis, and wherein a spring-damping leg 71 couples the frame ( 39 ) to the carrying element ( 19 ) at a distance from the turning axis of the frame ( 39 ).
