Abstract
A fork assembly including a retention mechanism to retain an agricultural machine having a remotely controllable moveable element that is moveable between a number of positions. The retention mechanism includes a control element positioned so that, when engaged with the agricultural machine, the movement of the control element due to movement associated with the remotely controllable moveable element is arranged to cause actuation and deactuation of the retention mechanism.

- a. a fork having one or more tines;
- and
- b. a retention mechanism for locking an agricultural machine to the fork assembly including a control element positioned so that, when engaged with the agricultural machine, the movement of the control element due to movement associated with the remotely controllable moveable element is arranged to cause actuation and deactuation of the retention mechanism.
An agricultural machine assembly including:
- a. a fork assembly having one or more forks or tines;
- b. an agricultural machine arranged to engage via the one or more forks or tines having a remotely controllable moveable element that is moveable between at least a first and a second position;
