Agricultural device having a rotatable frame portion

An agricultural device including a first frame portion rotatably carrying a second frame portion for carrying at least one agricultural module, the second frame portion being rotatable relative to the first frame portion between a first position generally perpendicular to a direction of travel of the device and a second position generally parallel to the direction of travel of the device, the first frame portion having a pair of rolling elements for supporting the first frame along a support surface. The pair of rolling elements is laterally movable relative to the first frame portion in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the device. The pair of rolling elements continuously laterally surrounds the second frame when viewed from behind a forward direction of travel of the device.

Folding spray implements having low peak fold height-to-wingspan ratios and agricultural work vehicles including the same

Folding spray implements and agricultural work vehicle equipped with folding spray implements are provided. In embodiments, the folding spray implement includes a centerframe assembly, boom assemblies mounted to opposing sides of the centerframe assembly, and an actuation system coupled to the centerframe and boom assemblies. The boom assemblies include, in turn, inner wings pivotally joined to the centerframe assembly for rotation about frame-to-wing fold joints, as well as outer wings pivotally joined to the inner wings for rotation about wing-to-wing fold joints. The actuation system selectively transitions the folding spray implement: (i) from a stowed position in which axes of wing-to-wing fold joints extend principally in horizontal directions; (ii) through an intermediate unfolded position in which the axes of the wing-to-wing fold joints extend principally in vertical directions; and (iii) to a deployed position in which the axes of the wing-to-wing fold joints extend principally in horizontal directions.

TRANSPORT WHEEL ARRANGEMENT FOR A CROP HARVESTING HEADER
20210307247 · 2021-10-07 ·

A header for a crop harvesting machine includes front and rear wheel arrangements that pivot about respective upright axis between a field orientation and a perpendicular transport orientation, while having respective suspensions arrangements movable between different suspended heights. A biasing spring provides lift assist to carry weight of the wheel arrangement during adjustment of the suspension elevation while being isolated from the suspension once set at any one elevation. The front wheel arrangement includes an anti-rotation latch that locks the front wheel in the field orientation automatically upon disconnection of a hitch arm. A second wheel of the rear wheel arrangement can be held in a raised position relative to a first wheel in a field orientation. Load bearing surfaces between the suspended rear wheels and the header frame abut one another when latching to the header frame to isolate the suspension from the header frame in the transport orientation.
