Agricultural implement system with tool bar behind wing frame
An agricultural implement system including a hitch assembly configured to couple to a tow vehicle, a plurality of wing tool bars coupled transversely to the hitch assembly, and a plurality of wing frames pivotally coupled to the plurality of wing tool bars. Each wing frame is configured to support a plurality of row units and is positioned forward of a respective wing tool bar. The agricultural implement system further includes an air cart support arm with a first and second end. The first end of the air cart support arm is pivotally coupled to the wing tool bar and the second end of the air cart support arm is configured to couple to an air cart and the air cart support arm is configured to drive the air cart in a rearward direction relative to the hitch assembly in response to rotation of the wing tool bar in the rearward direction.
TOOLBAR SYSTEM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT
An agricultural implement includes a toolbar system having a toolbar frame, an elevator assembly, and a first wing on one side of the toolbar frame. The first wing may be coupled to the elevator and pivotable about a first vertical axis of rotation between an extended and a folded position. Tools may be coupled to the first wing and rotatable relative to a longitudinal axis of the first wing from an operating position below the first wing to a transport/shipping position above the first wing. Further, the first wing may be adapted to be moveable to position the first wing higher than a wheel of the agricultural implement on the same side of the toolbar frame in the folded position. Subsequently, the tools may be circularly rotated and the middle wing and tools pushed down to reduce the overall width and height of the implement for transporting or shipping.
Wide area turf mower
A wide area turf mower has a wheel supported main frame and cutting units movably connected to the main frame and positioned in rows in a staggered order to form a mower cutting configuration for cutting a continuous swath of turf between any two outer cutting units located respectively on opposite sides of the main frame. One row of the cutting units includes a first pair of pivotally interconnected outer and inner cutting units at a first side of the main frame, and a second pair of pivotally interconnected inner and outer cutting units at the second side of the main frame. First hydraulic cylinders cause the outer cutting units to fold in a direction towards the rear end of the main frame. Second hydraulic cylinders cause the inner cutting units to lift in an upward direction. A controller operates all of the hydraulic cylinders.
RELEASABLE LOCK FOR REAR FOLDING IMPLEMENT WINGS
An agricultural implement has a center frame supported on center wheels and right and left interframes are pivotally attached to corresponding ends of the center frame about wing pivot axes. Right and left wing frames are pivotally attached at front inner ends thereof to front ends of corresponding interframes about front interframe pivot axes. Rear inner portions of the wing frames are movably attached to corresponding interframes. Latch mechanisms selectively lock the rear inner portions each wing frame to rear portions of the corresponding interframes. A center actuator pivots the center frame such that the frames move from an operating position extending rearward to an initial transport position extending upward where the interframes and wing frames can pivot rearward about the upright wing pivot axes. The front interframe pivot axes are oriented perpendicular to the wing pivot axes.
Land roller with chopping blades
A vegetation chopping roller for an agricultural land roller implement including a drum body having an outer periphery which is generally cylindrical about a drum axis of rotation and a plurality of protruding mounting flanges upon which chopping blades are mounted using threaded fasteners. A seating surface is fixedly supported in relation to the drum body in association with each blade which receives the inner edge of the associated blade abutted thereon such that the threaded fasteners are substantially isolated from shear forces by the abutment of the blades with the seating surfaces.
Agricultural Soil Processing Device and Method of Folding the Agricultural Device
An agricultural soil processing device comprises a central frame provided with a coupling mechanism adapted for mounting to a towing device provided with a mount. Wings are rotationally mounted to the central frame. Sections of working units are rotationally mounted to the wings. The sections are comprised of at least one row of working units, at least one travel wheel mounted to the wing by a locking rotational mechanism, and support rods rotationally mounted to the wings and connected to the mount. The support rod comprises a tilting part and a tipping part, wherein the tilting part and the tipping part are rotationally connected by an articulated joint.
REAR FOLDING AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
In one aspect, a rear folding agricultural implement allows for first and second wing sections of a toolbar assembly to be folded relative to a central toolbar section of the toolbar assembly via independently actuatable wing roll sections coupled between the central toolbar section and the respective wing sections.
Agricultural Soil Processing Device
An agricultural soil processing device comprises a central frame provided with a coupling mechanism for mounting to a towing device provided with a mount. Wings are rotationally mounted to the central frame. Sections of working units are rotationally mounted to the wings, wherein the sections of the working units are comprised of at least one row of working units. At least one travel wheel is mounted to each wing. The rotational mounting of the wing is connected to the central frame by a connecting mechanism comprising at least a vertically seated frame pin, a connecting element, and a balancing piston. The connecting element is rotationally seated around the frame pin and provided with a horizontally seated connecting element pin. The wing is rotationally connected to the connecting element at the point of the connecting element pin, and the balancing piston is rotationally mounted around the frame pin by one end and rotationally mounted to the wing by the other end.
Arrangement of positioning mechanisms of seed drills for transport
Arrangement for positioning mechanisms of seed drill machines for transport, preferably of the auto trailer type, including at least one toolholder bar, with their respective sowing units, divided into a central piece coupled to the structure of the chassis, and two side pieces, one at each side of the central piece, which pivot in a horizontal plane for being folded, with the corresponding sowing units, from the working position of the seed drill to the transport position parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chassis. The toolholder bar is mounted on a cart attached by guide plates to a lift tower and moves both up and down along lift tower by triggering hydraulic cylinders. The lift tower is coupled to mobility device, with the toolholder bars and sowing units, from the working position to the transport position of the seed drill, and vice versa. The transport position is defined in a section of the drawbar next to the attachment end of a transportation tractor of the machine.
WIDE AREA TURF MOWER
A wide area turf mower (10) has a wheel supported main frame (12) and cutting units (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34) movably connected to the main frame (12) and positioned in rows (36, 38, 40) in a staggered order to form a mower cutting configuration for cutting a continuous swath of turf between any two outer cutting units (26, 32) located respectively on opposite sides of the main frame (12). One row (38) of the cutting units comprises a first pair of interconnected outer and inner cutting units (26, 28) at a first side (18) of the main frame (12) and a second pair of interconnected inner and outer cutting units (30, 32) at the second side (20) of the main frame (12). The inner cutting units (28, 30) are pivotally connected to the main frame and the outer cutting units (26, 32) are pivotally connected to a respective inner cutting unit (28, 30). Hydraulic cylinders (42, 44) cause the outer cutting units (26, 32) to fold in a direction towards the rear end of the main frame (12). Hydraulic cylinders (50, 52) cause the inner cutting units (28, 30) to lift in an upward direction. A controller operates all of the hydraulic cylinders.
