A conventional three point hitch of an agricultural tractor for the connection and use of working implements cultivating or excavating the earth and other duties involved in the industry of farming or grading excavation is modified by adding extending and retracting implement-actuators attachable to the existing bottom-lift-arms, therefore supplanting, but still using the existing bottom-lift-arms on the three-point hitch. The implement-actuators assist the implement in correcting the implements centerline when the tractor centerline is off a predetermined centerline path. In addition, the extending of the implement-actuators proportionally, inversely and simultaneously can correct the pivot point of the implement to match the pivot point of the tractor while the tractor performs turns during the working use of the implement.

A recovery tool configured to attach to the rear or front a vehicle with a receiver hitch class III and up to provide interconnect and control between the vehicle and various accessory tools necessary to perform lift, drag, tow and pull using the vehicle. The recovery tool has a head gear connected to a hitch attachment where the hitch attachment connects the recovery tool to the vehicle. The recovery tool has lights for signaling, work lights, and other uses. The recovery tool can be controlled by a wireless controller. The recovery tool is adaptable to three-point tractor implement. The recovery tool may further include a hydraulic unit and can endure heavy mechanical work to perform dragging snow or dirt, road cleaning, driveway scraping, towing and recovery, search and rescue operation, pull boat docks and launch boats, dragging logs or broken articles as well as jump start truck or car.

The adjustable hitch assembly of the present invention is mounted to the 3 point hitch system or quick attach frame on the rear of a tractor, and allows equipment, tools and implements to be hitched thereto. The hitch assembly includes a frame for mounting to the tractor, a carriage slidably mounted to the frame, and a hitch plate extending rearwardly from the carriage. The hitch assembly also includes an actuator for adjusting the lateral position of the hitch plate relative to the tractor. The actuator is coupled to the hydraulic system of the tractor. The actuator can be controlled remotely from the cab of the tractor.

An agricultural implement operating on a field surface with growing crop plants comprises a plurality of divider mechanisms mounted in front of the implement wheels. Each divider mechanism comprises a divider member comprising a diversion member tapering laterally from a front end of the divider member, operative to push the crop plants away from a path of the wheel, and mounted to the implement by a parallel link assembly. An actuator is connected to the parallel link assembly and moves the divider member up and down. A control is operative to activate each actuator, and a sensor system senses a divider height of each divider member above the field surface. The sensor system is connected to the control such that the control is operative to specify a desired divider height for each divider member.

A harvesting implement of an agricultural harvester includes a frame configured to be coupled to a harvester base vehicle. Additionally, the implement includes a cutter bar configured to sever crop material from the field and a reel rotatably coupled to the frame and configured to direct the crop material toward the cutter bar. Furthermore, the implement includes a sensor assembly including an arm coupled to the frame. The arm is configured to rotate relative to the frame between a stored position and an open position in which the arm is configured to contact the surface of the field. Additionally, the implement includes a biasing element for biasing the arm toward the field. Moreover, the implement includes an electrically activatable actuator coupled to the arm and configured to rotate the arm between the stored and open positions and apply a load to prevent the arm from rotating.
