Abstract:
An agricultural implement, comprising:a primary frame; ground engaging wheels operably coupled to said primary frame; first and second, opposed subframes, each subframe operably, pivotally coupled to said primary frame and selectively, pivotally shiftable between a lowered, generally horizontal working position and a raised, generally vertical transport position relative to said primary frame; and a folding mechanism operably coupling said primary frame, first subframe and second subframe, including; a selectively extensible assembly having a first end operably coupled to said primary frame and said first subframe for selectively, pivotally shifting said first subframe between said working position and said transport position; and a connecting rod assembly having a connecting rod with a first end operably coupled to said first subframe and an opposed, second end operably coupled to said second subframe for simultaneous shifting of said second subframe, between said generally horizontal working position and said generally vertical transport position, with said first subframe.
