Skid-steer type power unit engageable with an implement using an attachment assembly including an attachment frame and a hitch. An arcuate frame member is located forwardly of the attachment frame and is engaged therewith in such a way that the frame member pivots about a vertical axis located forwardly of the frame member and generally centrally positioned relative to the attachment frame. The frame member pivots in response to actuation of a hydraulic cylinder. The power unit includes a system for transferring weight of the implement rearwardly onto the power unit. A belt-drive power-take off system on the power unit powers the implement's operation. An underbelly drop spreader is located between the front and rear wheels of the power unit and a brine delivery system distributes brine from nozzles located rearwardly of the rear wheels. A unique control panel permits operation of all systems on the power unit and implement.

An attachment assembly for connecting an agricultural implement to a tractor. The attachment assembly comprises tractor-side frame configured to extend from the tractor. The attachment assembly additionally comprises an implement-side frame configured to be removably attached to the implement. The implement-side frame is configured to rotate with respect to the tractor-side frame. The implement-side frame comprises connection elements configured to attach the implement to the implement-side frame. The connection elements provide at least four points of connection for the implement.

A harvester may include a feeder house, a header mount interface proximate the feeder house; a header removably mounted to the feeder house by the header mount interface, the header having a mount interface for securing the header to a trailer; a sensor to output steering angle signals indicative of a steering angle of the harvester during an approach of the harvester carrying the header towards the trailer, and a controller to output control signals causing the display to overlay a representation of the mount interface on a real-time view of the approach.

A middle mounted implement tractor utilizes a movable frame design in order to provide for middle mounting of implements on a tractor that can drive up to the implement, raise its front portion in the air, drive forward over the implement, and then lower the front portion to the ground and attach the middle mounted implement. This is accomplished utilizing a front frame assembly pivotably connected to a mounting frame assembly which mounts the implement; a frame mover mechanism that lifts the front frame and mounting frame; a middle frame which connects the cab, frame mover mechanism and related components; and a rear frame which attaches rear wheels, caster wheels, engine, etc. The front wheels can turn one hundred and eighty degrees and the tractor can easily interchange consumables via a carriage system that allows simple loading and unloading of tanks, etc.

A hitch assembly having a carrier for attachment to a working vehicle. A pair of lift arms, link member and actuator are pivotally interconnected such that the hitch assembly is lockable in working and folded configurations. In the working configuration, the lift arms are secured to the carrier and the actuator is operable to raise and lower the lift arms. In the folded configuration, the lift arms are pivotable relative to the carrier. Extension of the actuator folds the lift arms relative to the carrier to move the hitch assembly between the working and folded configuration.

An implement operating apparatus has a U-shaped drive frame supported on drive wheels, each pivotally mounted about a vertical wheel pivot axis. A steering control selectively pivots each drive wheel. A power source is connected through a drive control to rotate the drive wheels in either direction. First and second implements are configured to perform implement operations and to rest on the ground and when the drive frame is maneuvered to an implement loading position with respect to each implement, the implement is connectable to the drive frame and movable to an operating position supported by the drive frame. When the implement is in the operating position, the steering and drive controls are operative to move and steer the drive frame and implement along a first travel path or a second travel path oriented generally perpendicular to the first travel path.

A mounting system for mounting a farm implement to a tractor having a bracket attached to the front of the tractor, the bracket having a forwardly extending portion and an upwardly extending protrusion. The mounting system comprises a farm implement attachment member comprising one or more arms with a connection mechanism adapted to connect to a farm implement; a height adjusting mechanism adapted to adjust the height of the farm implement when connected to the one or more arms of the farm implement attachment member; and a tractor connection mechanism adapted to latch onto a bracket on the front of a tractor, wherein the tractor connection mechanism comprises a connection plate, a top hook extending rearwardly from the connection plate, and a bracket engagement member extending rearwardly from the connection plate, wherein the top hook is configured to hook onto the upwardly extending protrusion of the bracket and wherein the bracket engagement member is configured to engage a bottom of the bracket.
