An implement guidance module is provided for positioning a drawn implement as the implement is pulled by a vehicle traveling along a desired path of movement, the vehicle having a connection point for receiving a hitch. The module includes a module main frame having a first end configured for connection to the vehicle connection point, and a second end configured for connection to the implement, the main frame having a longitudinal axis, and having a pivot mount connected to the second end with an implement mounting plate pivoting relative to the module main frame about a pivot axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A vehicle mounting plate defines the first end of the module main frame, and the implement mounting plate defines the second end of the module main frame.

A system and method for hitching, using a swivel pin, a tractor with a drawbar and a towable implement comprise a handheld tool for inserting the swivel pin through a pin-receiving portion of the drawbar and a hitch tongue of the implement when arranged in an aligned coupling configuration. The handheld tool has an upper end configured for gripping by a user and a lower end configured to removably receive the swivel pin. Furthermore, the handheld tool is configured to extend from the operator cab of the tractor to the pin-receiving portion of the drawbar of the tractor so that the handheld tool is usable by the operator to hitch the tractor and the implement with the swivel pin without leaving the operator cab. A novel swivel pin with arms for mating engagement with a receptacle in the lower end of the tool enables the pin to be rotationally releasably secured therein.

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.

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for proving operation of a vehicle towing an implement. A hitch assembly can be used to adjust or distribute a vertical downward force that an attached implement applies to the frame of a vehicle towing the implement. A sensor assembly can identify the torque that is being applied to the front and rear axles. The torque data can be used to generate adjustments to the vertical load actuator, which can to adjust an amount of load applied to the front and/or rear axles. In this way, vertical load may be efficiently distributed between the front and rear axles automatically.

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.

A tangible non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to detect a movement state of an agricultural implement and automatically retract a stabilizer of a stabilization system from an extended position to a retracted position in response to detecting the movement state of the agricultural implement. The stabilizer is connected to a rear portion of a frame of the agricultural implement, and the stabilizer is configured to support a weight of the rear portion while in the extended position.

A first assembly combinable to the heavy equipment and a second assembly pivotally attached to the first assembly for rotation about a first axis and configured for pivotal attachment to the vehicle for rotation about a second axis. A tow rod extending from the first assembly with a third axis extending therethrough and combinable to the heavy equipment and configured for rotation with respect to the heavy equipment about the third axis.
