Abstract:
A tool carrier has a carrier frame and ground tools, and a front end of the carrier frame is connected to a wheel supported tool bar frame. A crank arm is pivotally attached to the tool bar frame about a crank axis oriented horizontally and perpendicular to an operating direction. A front end of the carrier frame is pivotally attached to the crank arm about a carrier axis parallel to the crank axis, and a hydraulic cylinder attached between the crank arm and the tool bar moves the tool carrier from an upward transport orientation to a rearward extending horizontal operating orientation, and maintains the tool carrier horizontal while moving it from a headland position above the ground to a working position where the tools penetrate the ground. When the tool carrier assembly is in the working position, the hydraulic cylinder exerts a downward bias force on the tool carrier.

Claim (Index 23):
The apparatus of  claim 22  wherein as the roller bears against and rolls upward along the forward side edge of the scroll slot, the tool carrier assembly moves upward to a balanced position, and as the tool carrier assembly moves beyond the balanced position a center of gravity of the tool carrier assembly draws the tool carrier assembly forward toward the transport orientation and the roller bears against and rolls upward along the rearward side edge of the scroll slot.
