Summary:A suspension system for a tracked work vehicle is provided that includes an undercarriage beam and a roller wheel beam assembly having a plurality of roller wheels and a roller wheel beam having a front clevis and a rear clevis. The suspension system also includes a front bushing mount coupled to the front clevis and a rear bushing mount coupled to the rear clevis. Moreover, the front bushing mount and the rear bushing mount are rigidly coupled to the undercarriage beam and configured to damp roll of the roller wheel beam relative to the undercarriage beam. Additionally, the suspension system includes at least one vertical mount disposed between the roller wheel beam and the undercarriage beam. Each of the at least one vertical mount is configured to provide vertical support for the roller wheel beam and to damp vertical movement of the roller wheel beam relative to the undercarriage beam.
