A mower for turf or lawn includes a frame for use on a tractor, or to form a structure of a trailer, and a plurality of cutting units, at least six, generally disposed side by side, each cutting unit including at least one roller for rolling on the ground. The mower includes lift means linking the cutting units to the frame and configured for articulating the cutting units between a mowing position and a non-mowing position. In the mowing position, the lift means are configured for pressing the cutting units against the ground in order to distribute, at least partially, the mower's weight on the ground via the rollers of the cutting units. The mower includes lateral articulated beams linking the cutting units. The beams are foldable inwardly and forwardly.

A method for reducing an overall transport profile of a multi-section tillage implement. The tillage implement includes a frame including a center frame section and at least one wing frame section. The tillage implement includes a plurality of ground-engaging tools pivotally mounted to the frame. The method includes pivoting each of the plurality of ground-engaging tools away from the ground surface from a ground-engaging position to a retracted position. The frame is disposed at an initial height relative to the ground surface before pivoting. After pivoting, the frame is lowered to a transport height relative to the ground surface. At least one wing frame section is folded relative to the center frame section from an operating position to a transport position to reduce a width of the tillage implement in the widthwise direction.

A hinge assembly for an agricultural implement having inner and outer wing frame sections has an inner pivot bracket pivotally coupled to the inner wing frame section at a fold pivot location, and an outer pivot bracket pivotally coupled to the outer wing frame section at a flex pivot location and coupled to the inner pivot bracket. An inner pivot link pivotally couples to the inner pivot bracket and the outer pivot bracket, and an outer pivot link pivotally couples to the outer pivot bracket and the outer wing frame section. The inner and outer pivot brackets pivot relative to each other at the fold pivot location between a working state and a folded state, and the flex pivot location moves relative to the fold pivot location during the relative pivoting. When in the working state, the fold pivot location is higher than a top side of the inner wing frame section and the flex pivot location is lower than a bottom side of the inner wing frame section.

A tool bar system is provided that is configured and arranged with weight distribution that inhibits the tool bar system from applying lifting forces to the rear hitch of the tractor that is pulling the tool bar. In one or more embodiments, the toolbar system includes a frame, lift wheels, a tool mount bar assembly having one or more forward sections and one or more rearward sections. The rearward sections are positioned rearward of lift wheels. Forward sections are positioned closer to the front of the tool bar system than the rearward sections, thereby reducing lifting forces at the front end of the tool bar system.

Disclosure herein are hydraulic systems and method of use thereof. The hydraulic systems can include a hydraulic cylinder and a manifold. The hydraulic cylinder can have a first end and a second end. The hydraulic cylinder can include a first port, a second port, and a third port. The first port can be located proximate the first end. The second port cane be located proximate the second end. The third port can be located in between the first port and the second port. The manifold can include a first valve and a second valve. The first valve can be in fluid communication with the first port and the third port. The second valve can be in fluid communication with the second port and the third port.

The present application relates to a soil tillage implement (10) having soil tillage tools (28), in particular disc tools, which are arranged in multiple tool rows (30.1 . . . 30.3) following one another in the working direction (A) and which are oriented transversely to the working direction (A), and having a running gear with at least one main wheel (20.1, 20.2), which is spaced apart from a centre longitudinal axis (22) transversely to the working direction (A) by a lateral wheel distance (dr). Here, the running gear is arranged with respect to the soil tillage tools (28) in such a manner that with respect to the working direction (A) in front of and to the left and right of the running gear at least one soil tillage tool (28) is arranged. All soil tillage tools (28) which are arranged in the tool row (30.1) located furthest in front of the running gear in the working direction (A) have a lateral tool distance (dw) from the centre longitudinal axis (28) that is smaller than or equal to the lateral wheel distance (dr).

Presently described is a support stop (1) for agricultural equipment (2) comprising a support portion (10) to be secured on a first structural portion (20) of the agricultural equipment (2), and a portion of damping (11) configured to contact a second structural portion (21) of the agricultural equipment (2), allowing the structural portions to adequately support and absorb impacts that occur during the displacement of the equipment in the transport position. The present invention further relates to agricultural equipment provided with the aforementioned supporting stop.

An agricultural tool bar has outer wings foldable between a lowered use or field position and a raised transport position. A primary pair of hydraulic cylinders fold and unfold the wings, while a secondary pair of hydraulic cylinders initially incline the wings from the horizontal use position before folding to the transport position. The secondary set of cylinders allow the tool bar to be used for narrow row planting without interference from seed boxes mounted on the toolbar center frame and the wings. The primary cylinders extend to push the wings to the transport position and retract to pull the wings to the use position.

An agricultural implement including a central 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 having operating elements defining a working width between the operating elements and the main chassis member. The support arms are 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. A first stop defines the position of the minimum working width and a second stop arranged vertically with respect to the first stop retains the support arm in the transport position when the distance between the operating elements and the main chassis member is less than the minimum working width.
