Abstract
A tine rake assembly for an agricultural implement includes a frame configured to pivotally couple to a chassis of the agricultural implement. The frame is configured to rotate between a working position and at least one storage position. In addition, the tine rake assembly includes multiple tines that are non-movably coupled to the frame. Each tine is configured to be disposed within a region extending between a respective pair of ground engaging tools while the frame is in the working position. Otherwise, each tine is configured to be disengaged from the region while the frame is in the at least one storage position.
