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.

A system includes an agricultural implement, a sensor, and a control system. The agricultural implement is configured to be coupled to an agricultural vehicle. The sensor is coupled to the agricultural implement and configured to output a signal indicative of a pitch angle of the agricultural implement. The control system is configured to receive the signal indicative of the pitch angle from the sensor, determine whether the pitch angle is within a pitch angle range, generate a hitch height control signal indicative of instructions to adjust a hitch actuator if the pitch angle is not within the pitch angle range, and communicate the hitch height control signal.

An agricultural implement having a main chassis member having a support structure with support arms connected to the support structure for movement between a working position and a transport position, the support arms being provided with operating elements remote from the support structure, the support structure defining a working width between the operating elements and the main chassis member, and the support arms being adjustable in the working position between a length corresponding to minimum working width and a length greater than the minimum working width. In the transport position a distance between the operating elements and the main chassis member is less than the minimum working width. In a headland position the support arms are adjustable such that a distance between the operating elements and the main chassis member is less than the minimum working width.

A towing vehicle includes a vehicle body, a coupling device provided in a rear portion of the vehicle body, and an inching control switch located at a position in the rear portion of the vehicle body shifted from a center of the rear portion of the vehicle body in a vehicle width direction. The vehicle body has a mount surface provided adjacent to a rear corner thereof. The mount surface is exposed to the outside and the inching control switch projects from the mount surface to the outside of the vehicle. The mount surface extends at an angle with respect to the vehicle width direction. A part of the mount surface that is closest to the center of the rear portion in the vehicle width direction is located rearward of the other part of the mount surface that is most distant from the center of the rear portion.

An agricultural vehicle train includes a tractor, a rotary cutter, and a hitch assembly coupling the rotary cutter to the tractor. The hitch assembly includes a first connection interface attaching the hitch assembly to the tractor anda second connection interface attaching the hitch assembly to the rotary cutter. The hitch assembly includes a suspension element coupled between the first and second connection interfaces to mitigate force transfer resulting from relative vertical movement; a mounting plate forming at least a portion of the second connection interface; and a pivot plate with a first end coupled to the first connection interface and a second end coupled to the suspension element. The pivot plate further includes a pivot element such that the pivot plate pivots about the pivot element relative to the mounting plate.

A device for coupling towed agricultural machines comprising a fastener for fastening to a frame of the machine, a connecting arm extending substantially longitudinally away from the frame of the agricultural machine, and a coupling head comprising coupling mechanism. The coupling head allows said connecting arm to rotate relative to the towing apparatus about a first axis of rotation which is substantially perpendicular to an operating surface of the agricultural machine. The connecting arm is rotatably connected to the fastener about a second axis of rotation, and further comprises reversible locking mechanism for locking the rotation of the connecting arm.
