AGRICULTURAL HEADER WITH ONE OR MORE MOVABLE WING SECTIONS
An agricultural header includes a main section and at least one wing section, which is pivotably coupled to the main section. The main section includes a main frame. The at least one wing section includes a wing frame. The header further includes a cutting element, a linkage, and an actuator. The cutting element is supported by the main frame and the wing section. The linkage pivotably couples the at least one wing section to the main section. The linkage includes an upper bar and a lower bar which are both coupled to the main frame and to the wing frame. The actuator is coupled to at least one of the upper bar, the lower bar, and the at least one wing section.

LAND ROLLER
A land roller is provided the can be transformed between a transport position and an operating position by at least one actuator. The land roller can have a center section with a center roller, a hitch member connected to the center section, a first wing section pivotally connected at a first end to the center section and having a first wing roller, a second wing section pivotally connected at a first end to the center section and having a second wing roller. The at least one actuator can rotate a first rotating member that pivots the first wing section and rotate a second rotating member that pivots the second wing section to transform the land roller from the transport position into the operating position. The at least one actuator is unconnected to the first rotating member and the second rotating member.
TWO ROW AGRICULTURAL PLANTING IMPLEMENT
An agricultural planting implement includes a first wing toolbar configured to support a first set of row units. The first wing toolbar is configured to pivotally couple to a main frame of the agricultural planting implement. The agricultural planting implement also includes a second wing toolbar configured to support a second set of row units. In addition, the agricultural planting implement includes a connection assembly having at least one arm pivotally coupling the second wing toolbar to the first wing toolbar. The at least one arm is pivotally coupled to the first wing toolbar and non-pivotally coupled to the second wing toolbar. Furthermore, the connection assembly includes an actuator configured to drive the second wing toolbar to rotate relative to the first wing toolbar.
VARIABLE TILLAGE IMPLEMENT
A tillage implement for variable tillage has a linkage mechanism disposed longitudinally between two gangs of annular harrow tools, the gangs each having a toolbar that is rotationally mounted on a frame of the implement. The linkage mechanism has a plurality of pivotally connected linkage arms, the toolbars each pivotally connected to at least one of the linkage arms. Operation of the linkage mechanism simultaneously rotates one toolbar about a first vertical rotation axis and the other toolbar about a second vertical rotation axis in an opposite rotational direction as the first toolbar. The implement has at least one wheel mounted on the frame longitudinally forward of both of the gangs or longitudinally rearward of both of the gangs. The tillage implement provides variable tillage while having a shorter frame to facilitate folding wing sections of the frame in a more compact manner for transportation while remaining assembled.
Winged Agricultural Implement with Steerable Transport Wheels
A towable agricultural implement, having a center frame and two wing frames pivotally coupled on the center frame to move between a field frame position extending laterally outward and a range of transport positions extending generally rearward, further includes a transport wheel on each wing frame that is pivotal about an upright steering axis through a range of wheel positions including a neutral transport wheel position for rolling forwardly. Each transport wheel is pivotal from the neutral transport wheel position in either one of two opposing steering directions under control of a steering actuator through an overall range of greater than 90 degrees. The wheels can be steered in a common direction during transport. A control system can also attempt to maintain a constant angle between the center section and the wings to allow reversing while in transport mode.
Draper transport lift assist system
A header including a cutter bar configured to cut crop for harvesting and a header frame supporting the cutter bar. A transport assembly is operatively connected to the header frame. A support arm is rotatably coupled to an axle of the transport assembly and is pivotably coupled to a mounting frame coupled to the header frame. A cam linkage is disposed at the support arm to provide a mechanical advantage for an operator when moving the transport assembly from a transport position to a harvest position. The cam linkage includes a lift assist device having a first end connected to the mounting frame and a second end coupled to a cam arm. Extension of the second end from the first end of the lift assist device applies the cam arm to a cam surface of the support arm to move the transport assembly to the harvest position.
AGRICULTURAL TOOLBAR APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Systems, methods, and apparatus for shifting weight between a tractor and toolbar and between sections of the toolbar, for controlling operative height of a toolbar and sections of a toolbar and for folding a toolbar between a work position and a transport position. A ground engaging wheel and an actuator are coupled to the toolbar. In one embodiment, a fluid control system is responsive to a command signal to modify the actuator pressure such that the actuator pressure corresponds to a desired pressure.

TOWED WINGED AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT WITH FORWARDLY FOLDING WING SECTIONS
A towed winged agricultural implement comprises a center frame section arranged for mounting behind a towing vehicle relative to a forward direction of travel and a pair of wing frame sections having respective inner ends which are pivotally coupled at transversely opposite sides of the center frame section. The wing frame sections are movable relative to the center frame section between a working configuration extending forwardly and transversely outwardly in opposite directions from the center frame section, and a transport configuration extending forwardly from the center frame section to be parallel to the forward direction of travel and located adjacent the sides of the towing vehicle.
