Claim:
1. An agricultural mower comprising: a chassis; a pair of wheels coupled to the chassis; a header unit coupled to the chassis, the header unit being vertically moveable by at least one actuator relative to the chassis between a field position, in which the pair of wheels contact a ground surface to support the header unit, and to an elevated position; a tongue arrangement coupled to the chassis, the tongue arrangement being pivotal by an actuator about a generally vertical axis relative to the header unit and the chassis, the tongue arrangement carrying a first retaining element along a path about the vertical axis; and a second retaining element connected to the header unit, wherein the at least one actuator is configured to move the header unit vertically to place the second retaining element in the path of the first retaining element to allow the first retaining element to capture the second retaining element as the tongue arrangement pivots from a field mode to a transport mode to thereby retain the header unit in the elevated position.
