Agricultural implement
The present invention relates to an agricultural implement comprising a main frame supporting a plurality of ground engaging tools, the main frame being transferable between a first configuration, in which a first plurality of ground engaging tools are in a working position, and a second configuration, in which a second plurality of ground engaging tools are in a working position. A first depth wheel is connected to the main frame and capable of adjusting a working depth of the first plurality of ground engaging tools, when the main frame is in its first configuration. A second depth wheel connected to the main frame and capable of adjusting a working depth of the second plurality of ground engaging tools, when the main frame is in its second configuration. At least the first depth wheel is pivotable in such a way that the first depth wheel moves with respect to the second depth wheel.

Device for automatic adjustment of the working width of a first plough body in accordance with subsequent plough bodies' variable working width
A device for automatically adjusting the working width of the first plough body of a plough in accordance with the variable working width of subsequent plough bodies. A first hydraulic cylinder displaces a rear frame section laterally. A second hydraulic cylinder pivots the rear frame section to adjust a transverse spacing of the plough bodies. The first hydraulic cylinder includes a multi-stage cylinder. A first cylinder stage forms a main lateral control, and a second cylinder stage forms an automatic working-width control for the first plough body. The second cylinder stage is in hydraulic-fluid communication with the second hydraulic cylinder in a master-slave configuration. The second cylinder stage is master or the slave depending on a moving direction of the cylinder stage and the second hydraulic cylinder being slave or the master. Piston diameters are matched to provide a correction of a lateral displacement of the front frame section.
