An implement mount for height adjustable mounting of an implement to a vehicle. The mount features a hitch coupler for mating with a single-point hitch of the vehicle to reach longitudinally therefrom, and a guide frame defining at least one guide slot lying transverse to the longitudinal direction of the hitch coupler in an upright orientation. At least one link arm is pivotally supported on the hitch coupler, and an implement carrier is coupled to the link arm proximate a rear end thereof. A follower arrangement is engaged between the link arm and the guide slot to constrain movement of the implement carrier to movement along the guide slot. Pivotal movement of the link arm in a first direction lifts the implement carrier along the guide slot, while pivotal moment in a second direction lowers the implement carrier along the guide slot.

Various implementations include a handle attachment device. The device includes a body and a drive shaft. The body has a first portion and a second portion. Each of the first portion and second portion defines at least one fastener opening. Each of the at least one fastener opening defined by the first portion is alignable with one of the at least one fastener opening defined by the second portion. The first portion and the second portion are clampable on a crank when the device is in a mounted position. The crank has a crank rotational axis.

A trailer device for an agricultural vehicle includes a frame part and a guide part longitudinally, displaceably mounted in the frame part. The guide part includes a coupling element provided on an end face. The frame part is pivoted by a lifting apparatus for raising and lowering the coupling element relative to a base frame for attaching to a load-bearing vehicle structure. The device includes at least one spring element arranged between the base frame and the frame part such that the spring element exerts a pretensioning force on the frame part for assisting the raising of the coupling element.

A shock-absorbing tongue assembly for coupling a rotary cutter with a work vehicle includes a coupler configured to couple to the work vehicle, and a linkage mechanism having a proximal end at the rotary cutter and a distal end at the coupler. The linkage mechanism includes a suspension element configured to dampen energy transferred between the rotary cutter and the work vehicle, a primary linkage mechanism extending from the rotary cutter, and a secondary linkage mechanism extending between the primary linkage mechanism and the coupler. The secondary linkage mechanism is configured to rotate about the primary linkage mechanism while maintaining the coupler in a level condition.

The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to an interchangeable hitch mechanism that is coupleable to a pusher device. Other implementations relate to a pusher device having such an interchangeable hitch mechanism that can be removably coupleable to a manual jack pallet.

A motorcycle towing hitch 20 includes a receiver 22 to which is attached a lift system 24. The lift system 24 is operable to raise and lower a cradle 26 which receives the front wheel 30 of a motorcycle 32 to hold the front wheel captive in the cradle. The cradle 26 is hinged relative to the lift system to be rotatable about an upright axis 28, for instance, when towing the motorcycle around a corner. A restraint system 34 is provided for preventing the handlebars of the motorcycle to rotate relative to the motorcycle frame. In this manner, when the motorcycle is towed around a corner, the motorcycle frame does not tilt downwardly into the corner as would be the case if the motorcycle frame were permitted to rotate relative to the motorcycle handlebars when negotiating a corner.

The present disclosure refers to a method for controlling operation of an agricultural system, comprising a tractor; an implement (100) hitched through a draw bar (10) to the tractor, the implement (100) having working tools (31) configured to engage with a ground and/or an agricultural product in operation while the tractor is drawing the implement (100) over a field; and a control system, comprising a control unit (2) and a sensor arrangement (1) connected to the control unit (2) through a control bus (5), wherein the control unit (2) is configured to determine a draft force applied to the implement (100) through the draw bar from measurement signals detected by the sensor arrangement (1); the method comprising operating the implement in either normal mode or field transport mode of operation based on different draft force thresholds.

A work vehicle includes: a chassis; a cab comprising a frame carried by the chassis; a support structure carried by the chassis; a hitch system directly coupled to the support structure and including a pair of lift arms, each of the lift arms being pivotably coupled to the support structure; and an anti-roll system including an anti-roll bar coupled to the frame of the cab and directly coupled to the support structure such that the support structure simultaneously supports both the hitch system and the anti-roll system. A combined hitch and anti-roll system that includes the support structure, hitch system, and anti-roll system and may be removably mounted to a vehicle is also disclosed.

A weight distribution hitch system comprising a vehicle attachment member comprising a forward end configured to rigidly attach to a vehicle, and a rearward end extending rearwardly toward a trailer, the rearward end comprising an upper portion comprising a trailer attachment member configured to pivotally attach to a coupler of the trailer, and a lower portion configured to receive a moment bar; a moment bar having a modulus of elasticity, the moment bar comprising a moment bar forward end attached to the lower portion of the rearward end of the vehicle attachment member so as to prevent rotation about a horizontal axis, and a moment bar rearward end; a tension member comprising a top end configured to be supported by a frame member of the trailer, and a bottom end configured to support the rearward end of the moment bar; wherein, when the tension member is in tension, it imposes an upward force on the moment bar rearward end, which, in turn, imposes a forward moment on the vehicle; and wherein the modulus of elasticity is low enough that an adjustment range for the moment bar is greater than 0.5 inches is disclosed.
