An apparatus, which may be a tillage apparatus, may have a flexible frame. The frame may be made from open members. The frame may support ground engagers and may be supported on wheel assemblies. The ground engagers may be connected to a spring trip mechanism. The ground engagers may be mounted to open members of the frame with a clamping style mechanism. The clamp mechanism may include wedge devices. The frame may be lowered and raised relative to wheels of the wheel assemblies with a lift mechanism. One row of ground engagers may be raised or lowered relative to the frame independent of another row of ground engagers. An anti-skid or skew control system may be employed in association with the independent height adjustment of one row of ground engagers. A system may maintain and control the height of a tow hitch forming part of the apparatus.
A method for correcting a direction of travel of a tillage apparatus moving across a ground surface, the tillage apparatus having a front row of ground engagers and a rear row of ground engagers engaging the ground surface, the front row of ground engagers being supported by a plurality of front wheeled support units each mounted for rotation, the method comprising:
