Claim 13:
14. An implement operating apparatus comprising:
an agricultural implement configured to conduct an agricultural operation;
a frame configured for driving and operating the agricultural implement, the frame includes:
opposed frame members extending from a base member, the opposed frame members and the base member providing a frame profile; and
an implement socket including opposed frame members and the base member, the implement socket includes a socket profile, wherein the frame profile and the socket profile correspond;

a plurality of ground engaging elements, each of the ground engaging elements of the plurality of ground engaging elements are coupled with at least one of the opposed frame members or the base member; and
wherein the frame having the implement socket is configured to transition between empty and operating configurations:
in the empty configuration the implement socket does not include the agricultural implement therein; and
in the operating configuration the power source actuates the plurality of ground engaging elements to position the implement socket around the agricultural implement, and the opposed frame members extend along the agricultural implement and are coupled with the agricultural implement.
