Agricultural implement with constant frame attitude maintaining mechanism

摘要

A disc harrow has a shock absorbing and frame attitude maintaining mechanism which embodies a bell crank lever pivotally connected at its apex to the hinged hitch structure of the implement frame. One arm of the lever is operatively connected through a rigid link to the rockshaft which is axially rotated to raise and lower the transport wheels of the implement. The other arm of the lever is connected to one member of a vertically extending spring-loaded link having a second member anchored to the implement frame. This second member has a pair of stops between which a spring is confined in compression; and the first member acts on the spring against one or the other of said stops in response to both raising and lowering of the transport wheels to maintain a constant frame attitude.
