Abstract
A device for configuring a plough between a use configuration and a transport configuration is provided, the device comprising an elongated support and an actuator connected with the elongated support, wherein the elongated support is for sliding connection with the plough, and the actuator is for actuating connection with the plough, and wherein when the elongated support and the actuator are connected with the plough, actuation of the actuator can slide the plough relative to the elongated support to configure the plough between the use configuration and the transport configuration. Related systems and methods are also provided.
Claims17
A device for configuring a plough between a use configuration and a transport configuration, the device comprising:
- an elongated support;
- and
- an actuator connected with the elongated support, wherein
- the elongated support is for substantially translational sliding connection with the plough, and the actuator is for actuating connection with the plough, and wherein when the elongated support and the actuator are connected with the plough:
- (i) actuation of the actuator can substantially translationally slide the plough relative to the elongated support to configure the plough between the use configuration and the transport configuration, and
- (ii) when the plough is in the use configuration, actuation of the actuator can substantially translationally slide the plough relative to the elongated support to adjust a ploughing angle of the plough.
A system comprising a plough;
- and a device for configuring the plough between a use configuration and a transport configuration, the device comprising:
- an elongated support;
- and
- an actuator connected with the elongated support, wherein
- the elongated support is in substantially translational sliding connection with the plough, and the actuator is in actuating connection with the plough, and wherein:
- (i) actuation of the actuator substantially translationally slides the plough relative to the elongated support to thereby configure the plough between the use configuration and the transport configuration, and
- (ii) when the plough is in the use configuration, actuation of the actuator can substantially translationally slide the plough relative to the elongated support to adjust a ploughing angle of the plough.
A method of configuring a plough between a use configuration and a transport configuration, the method including steps of:
- (i) actuating an actuator connected to the plough, wherein the actuator is connected with an elongated support and the elongated support is connected with the plough, and wherein actuation of the actuator substantially translationally slides the plough relative to the elongated support, to thereby configure the plough between the use configuration and the transport configuration, and
- (ii) actuating the actuator when the plough is in the use configuration, wherein the actuation of the actuator substantially translationally slides the plough relative to the elongated support to adjust a ploughing angle of the plough.
