The wheel of a vehicle for compacting a sanitary land fill site is provided with a series of cleats for both traction and destruction of the material over which the wheel and the vehicle transverses. The cleats are individually welded to the cylindrical periphery of the wheel in a suitable manner and are subject to extreme wear. Each cleat is provided with a replaceable separate section which includes the outer cutting edge of the cleat such that the section may be inverted to present a second relatively sharp wearing edge.

An earthworking device comprises a support member having a work tool, such as an earthworking tip, detachably mounted on a forward end thereof. A pin is disposed in aligned bores formed through the support member and the work tool and an annular replaceable cartridge circumvents the pin to retain it in position. The cartridge comprises a housing having an annular elastomeric member secured therein and circumventing the pin in frictional engagement therewith.

A hitch structure for mounting attachments to a vehicle such as a skid steer loader is disclosed herein. The hitch structure includes a universal, reversible hitch structure. The hitch structure includes a first end positioned opposite a second end, a fixed locking structure located adjacent each of the first end and the second end, the fixed locking structure constructed for receiving a toe end of an attachment carrier of a loader vehicle. The hitch structure also includes a removable locking structure with a slot for receiving a locking wedge positioned adjacent a heel end of the attachment carrier. The removable locking structure is removably engageable with the hitch structure alternatively adjacent either the first end or the second end of the hitch structure to form a clamping structure with the fixed locking structure located at the opposite end from the removable locking structure for mounting the attachment to the vehicle.
