FRONT FOLDING ARRANGEMENT FOR AGRICULTURAL TILLAGE IMPLEMENT

摘要

An agricultural tillage implement including a main frame section having a pull hitch tube extending in a travel direction, which may be a telescoping pull hitch tube, and a tool bar coupled with and extending transverse to the pull hitch tube, and a plurality of pivotally coupled wing sections coupled with the main frame section. Each of the plurality of wing sections have at least one pivotal wing front shank frame. A main shank frame straddles the pull hitch tube. The main shank frame, the pivotal wing front shank frames, and the wing sections articulate from an operating configuration to a transport configuration.

主权项

1. An agricultural tillage implement, comprising:
a main frame section including a pull hitch tube extending in a travel direction; a main shank frame pivotally coupled with said main frame section, said main shank frame operable to pivot up and over said main frame section when in a transport configuration, and operable to pivot down and forward of said main frame section when in an operating configuration; and at least one wing section pivotally coupled with said main frame section about at least one generally vertical axis, said at least one wing section operable to pivot forward about said at least one generally vertical axis to a position adjacent to and generally parallel with said pull hitch tube when in said transport configuration, said at least one wing section operable to pivot outward about said at least one generally vertical axis to a position perpendicular to said pull hitch tube when in said operating configuration.
