Abstract: An animal ear tag applicator (1) has a jaw (2) with a pivotal pin (7) which can hold the male part (50) of an animal ear tag and engage it with the female part (51) of the tag held in the lower jaw (3). Th e jaw (2) is biased by spring (16) to open independently of the handles (4, 5) once the latch (30) has been released. This will only occ ur after the male and female parts of the tag have been fully engaged. This independent release of the jaw (2) and the ability of the pin (7) to pivot forwardly avoids jamming of the ear tag in the applicator (1), especially when the animal attempts to pull away. The applicator can also be used with single piece tags.

Abstract: An agricultural implement, having ground engaging tools mounted on subframes that are movable through hydraulic actuators between raised transport and lowered working positions, is provided with a hydraulic circuit in which the actuators are connected in parallel with one another within a grouping of the actuators. The positioning of the ground engaging tools into a lowered working position closes the hydraulic circuit for the group of actuators. The subframes are arranged to float over ground undulations to maintain a common working depth for the ground engaging tools. The vertical movement of any one of the actuators in the common group will force a displacement of a corresponding amount of hydraulic fluid, which will then be shared by all of the remaining actuators in the corresponding group. A depth averaging control for the ground engaging tools and a mechanical headland stop apparatus are also provided for the agricultural implement.
