A SUPPORT APPARATUS FOR SECURING A MATERIAL MOVING WING PLOW RELATIVE TO A VEHICLE

摘要

A support apparatus is disclosed for securing a material moving wing plow relative to a vehicle. The support apparatus includes a trailing link having a first and a second end. The first end of the trailing link is pivotally connected to the vehicle about a first pivotal axis. A support arm is provided for supporting the wing plow. The support arm is pivotally secured to the second end of the trailing link about a second pivotal axis. The first and second pivotal axes are disposed spaced and parallel relative to each other so that the support arm is dragged by and trails from the vehicle so that during a plowing operation, the wing plow supported by the support arm moves smoothly over the material being moved so that a potentially dangerous diving of the wing plow into the material in a vicinity of the support arm is avoided.
