Abstract
A towed agricultural implement includes one or more processing units each supported on a chassis, in which each chassis supports at least one processing unit on a central axis, the chassis having a left hand side wheel assembly support and a right hand side wheel assembly support, free ends of the wheel assembly supports having wheel assemblies, each wheel assembly comprising a wheel mounted on a wheel mount, the wheel mount being rotatable about an inclined axis, and the wheel being rotatable about a horizontal axis. The wheel assembly supporting structures and the wheel mounts allow limited relative movement of each wheel mount with respect to the wheel assembly supporting structures which enables greater control when the towed agricultural implement is towed about a corner.

A towed agricultural implement comprising:
- at least one processing unit supported on a central axis of a chassis, the chassis comprising a left wheel assembly support and a right wheel assembly support,
- wherein free ends of the left and right wheel assembly supports each have a wheel assembly, each wheel assembly comprising a wheel mount with a wheel, wherein the wheel mount is rotatable about an inclined axis and the wheel is rotatable about a horizontal axis,
- wherein the wheel assembly supports and the wheel mounts are configured to allow movement of the wheel mount with respect to the wheel assembly supports,
- wherein the wheel assembly supports comprise a lead portion and a trailed portion configured such that the lead portion is angled away from the trailed portion,
- wherein each wheel mount comprises a carrying member configured to rotate about the inclined axis and having an arm extending to a front and a rear of the inclined axis.
