A method of and apparatus for transporting farm implement sideways, on narrow passageways. The apparatus comprising a hitch assembly, carrier assembly, trailer assembly, and a turret assembly. The farm implement is attached to the turret assembly, which allows the implement to be rotated ninety degrees via the turret. To move the farm implement the trailer assembly is extended downward lifting the implement up from the ground, the implement is then rotated so that it aligns parallel to the carrier assembly. The turret assembly is then locked in position for transport. In the field the turret assembly is unlocked and rotated ninety degrees, the trailer assembly is raised, which lowers the implement to the ground. The apparatus is connected to a farm tractor's three point hitch, hydraulic system and power takeoff. The three point hitch raises the apparatus hitch and tongue during transport and lowers the hitch and tongue during field work. The tractors hydraulic system provides power to raise and lower the trailer assembly, rotates the turret assembly and provides power to the locking device.
