A telescoping axle includes an elongated center tubular base axle section for supporting a farm implement and receiving in telescopic relation an elongated tubular outer axle section which receives in telescopic relation an elongated tubular inner axle section. Each axle section is preferably rectangular or square in cross section with the outer and inner axle sections each supporting a horizontal wheel axle. An elongated actuator connects the inner axle section to the outer axle section for moving the inner axle section and outer axle section between a retracted position within the base axle section and an extended position projecting from opposite ends of the base axle section. The axis of each axle is preferably above the base axle section, additional axle sections may be used and the axles may be made steerable.
A telescoping axle adapted to support wheels on a farm implement and expandable from a retracted position for road travel to an extended position for use on unlevel terrain, said axle comprising
