Low-profile a-frame trailer jack
A low-profile trailer jack reduces the height of the jack above the trailer a-frame by over 50% eliminating pickup tailgate interference when lowered by a vehicle operator. This is accomplished using a two-stage concentric lead screw design rather than a single screw as described in prior art. The two-stage design also allows for increased lowering and raising speed of the jack foot by using the first stage, which is a larger outer screw with larger pitch, generating a faster speed when no load is present. The second stage inner screw is engaged when a load is present and a slower speed with greater mechanical advantage is required.

WHEELED ASSEMBLY
A wheeled assembly configured to support a trailer. The wheeled assembly includes a frame, a pair of wheels coupled to the frame, a tongue hingedly coupled to a front end portion of the frame that is configured to rotate between a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration, a hitch coupler coupled to the tongue that is configured to connect to a tow vehicle, and a pair of stabilizing jacks coupled to opposite sides of the frame.
CRANK HANDLE ASSEMBLY
An apparatus for a crank handle of a landing gear. The crank handle comprising an assembly with a rotating arm, a mounting end, a handle arm, and a handle grip. The handle grip mounted to the handle arm. The handle grip rotatable about the handle arm at a handle end of the crank handle assembly.
INTEGRATED PTO SHAFT AND IMPLEMENT SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
A support assembly for a trailered implement includes an implement support link that is moveable between an implement support position and a stowed position, and a shaft support link that is coupled to the implement support link via an intermediate link. The shaft support link is moveable between a first support position and a second support position. When the implement support link is disposed in the implement support position, the shaft support link may be disposed in the first support position to support and position the rotatable shaft at a first height relative to a ground surface. When the implement support link is disposed in the stowed position, the shaft support link may be disposed in the second support position to support and position the rotatable shaft at a second, lower height relative to the ground surface.

Maneuverable ergonomic trailer stands
Maneuverable ergonomic trailer stands are disclosed. An example portable trailer stand includes a frame having an upper ledge; an extendible leg coupled to the frame, the upper ledge being vertically movable to selectively engage and disengage an underside of a trailer parked on a driveway based on movement of the extendible leg relative to the frame; a wheel connected to the frame, the wheel to remain at a substantially fixed distance from the upper ledge as the upper ledge is vertically moved.
Rear jack for an agricultural implement
An agricultural implement towable by an agricultural vehicle. The agricultural implement includes a frame with a front portion and a rear portion, a plurality of ground engaging tools connected to the rear portion, and a stabilization system. The stabilization system includes at least one stabilizer connected to the rear portion. The at least one stabilizer is remotely operated for selectively supporting the rear portion relative to the front portion and leveling the frame.
