An agricultural machine used for soil tillage and/or for spreading agricultural distribution goods, which agricultural machine is subdivided transversely to a driving direction into at least three machine sections, wherein in each instance side parts (14; 14') are arranged laterally to a central part, which side parts (14; 14') are swivelable about horizontal longitudinal axes in relation to the central part, wherein the side parts (14; 14') are swivelled at least largely horizontal in relation to the central part in a work position of the agricultural machine, and wherein the side parts (14, 14') are swivelled at least largely perpendicular to the central part in a transport position of the agricultural machine, wherein each side part (14; 14') has at least one depth control element assigned to it, which depth control element is designed as depth control wheel, wherein work implements are assigned to at least the side parts (14; 14'), and - wherein the depth control element, which is designed as depth control wheel, is arranged upstream from the work implements, and/or - wherein the depth control element, which is designed as depth control wheel, is arranged downstream from the work implements, and in this context additionally lies on a plane together with an axle of transport wheels of the agricultural machine, characterised in that the particular depth control element is mounted to the particular side part (14, 14') so as to be swivelable about an axis, which is oriented independently of the position of the agricultural machine parallel to the driving direction or at an angle that is less than 90° to the driving direction, and so as to be swivelable about the axis in relation to the side parts (14; 14'), wherein the particular depth control element, when in a work position, is arranged perpendicular and/or at least largely perpendicular to the side part (14; 14'), and wherein the depth control element in a transport position is swivelable such that the axis of rotation of the depth control element is arranged diagonal to the side part (14; 14'), wherein the depth control element is mounted to be freely rotatable by a perpendicular axis of rotation in the work position. - wherein the depth control element, which is designed as depth control wheel, is arranged upstream from the work implements, and/or - wherein the depth control element, which is designed as depth control wheel, is arranged downstream from the work implements, and in this context additionally lies on a plane together with an axle of transport wheels of the agricultural machine, characterised in that the particular depth control element is mounted to the particular side part (14, 14') so as to be swivelable about an axis, which is oriented independently of the position of the agricultural machine parallel to the driving direction or at an angle that is less than 90° to the driving direction, and so as to be swivelable about the axis in relation to the side parts (14; 14'), wherein the particular depth control element, when in a work position, is arranged perpendicular and/or at least largely perpendicular to the side part (14; 14'), and wherein the depth control element in a transport position is swivelable such that the axis of rotation of the depth control element is arranged diagonal to the side part (14; 14'), wherein the depth control element is mounted to be freely rotatable by a perpendicular axis of rotation in the work position.
