A method is carried-out by a controller architecture coupled to a beam assembly actuator, which is included in an articulating tongue arrangement connecting an agricultural implement to a tow vehicle. In an embodiment, the method includes: (i) monitoring, via the controller architecture, an effective tow length of an articulating beam assembly further included in the articulating tongue arrangement, the effective tow length measured along a straight line extending from a leading pivot joint of the articulating tongue arrangement to a trailing pivot joint of the articulating tongue arrangement; (ii) determining, at the controller architecture, an effective tow length target of the articulating tongue arrangement based upon operator input, sensor input, or a combination thereof; and (iii) transmitting commands from the controller architecture to the beam assembly actuator to maintain the effective tow length of the articulating beam assembly in conformance with the effective tow length target.

A chain holder includes a first portion, a second portion, a third portion connecting the first portion with the third portion, a first hook portion extending from the first portion, and a second hook portion extending from the second portion. The first portion and the second portion may be disposed substantially in parallel with each other. The third portion may be disposed substantially perpendicular to the first portion and the second portion. A chain holder may include a first projection and a second projection. The first projection may extend inward from the first portion and the second projection may extend inward from the second portion. The first projection and the second projection may be substantially aligned with each other. A distance from the first projection to the third portion corresponds to a height of a trailer assembly component.

A holder and system for holding or retaining trailer components, such as trailer chains and/or electrical components, is disclosed. In an embodiment, a holder includes a first portion and a second portion configured for connection to the first portion. In an embodiment, the holder comprises first and second portion that are configured to form an opening that encircles a portion, such as a shaft, of a trailer lift. An embodiment of a system for holding or retaining trailer components may include a trailer lift and a holder portion that extends outwardly from a portion of the trailer lift.

A vehicle includes a controller and a frame having a receiver including an electrical connector configured to connect to a trailer having a plurality of chains. The plurality of chains each includes a sensor configured to transmit a position of the chain relative to a winch disposed on the trailer. The controller is configured to, in response to data from the sensors indicating a position of the chains, display via an interface a connection status of the chains.

A safety chain tie down assembly is shown and described. The safety chain tie down assembly may comprise a body member, a pin member, and a securing member. The pin member may include a plunging portion configured to engage with a receiver of an under bed hitch mounting device. The pivot motion of the plunging portion may position the pin member between an unlocked position and a locked position. The safety chain tie down assembly may include a securing member that includes a lever, in which actuation of the lever positions the securing member into a secured configuration.

An underlift fork-air suspension coupling unit for towing a semi-trailer truck having an air-ride suspension is provided. The coupling unit includes a substantially cylindrical device including a first end configured to engage with the air suspension slot beneath the air springs of certain air-ride suspensions of semi-trailer trucks, a second end configured to engage with a receiver of an underlift towing device, and a collar coaxially disposed between the first and second ends for separating the first and second ends. The coupling unit replaces underlift forks that are conventionally used with underlift towing devices. By specifically engaging with the air suspensions slot of these air-ride suspensions, rather than the axle as with the underlift forks, the coupling unit avoids the potential for the underlift device to bottom out against the underbody of the semi-trailer truck to be towed.

A bed for a pickup truck includes a floor, at least two sidewalls extending perpendicular to the floor on opposite sides of the floor, a headboard connected to and disposed between the sidewalls, a mount and a plate. The mount has a base including a face defining a plurality of holes, extending across the headboard. The mount is attached to the at least two sidewalls at a first and second end of the base. The plate is configured to support a winch on the base of the mount. The plate includes a bracket to slide on the face and is configured to secure the plate at any of the plurality of holes on the face between the first and second ends.

A trolley that couples to a tow saddle is provided. The trolley includes an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper and lower plate are secured against a rear portion of a tow saddle. One or more support bars are coupled to the upper plate. The bars provide structural support for the upper plate and deflect a chain that transits apertures in the upper plate.
