Abstract
A tractor implement carrying apparatus for use with a farm tractor and for supporting farm implements which can be a rolling shield, high speed sliding shield, disc, or other similar farm implements. An adjustable bushing support member is attached to the lower end of a mounting member to support a pin permitting transverse adjustment of a drawbar pivotally supported on the pin. An implement attaching bracket having opposing transversely adjustable and downwardly extending arms attaches to a longitudinal slot in the drawbar which provides for lateral adjustment of the implement attaching bracket. Opposing tool adjustment brackets are suitably affixed to the lower ends of the opposing transversely adjustable downwardly extending arms for attachment of farm implements.
Claims1
A tractor implement carrying apparatus for attachment to a tractor tool bar comprising:
- (a) a first U-shaped mounting member having means for clamping the base of said member to said tractor tool bar and having the legs of said member angled rearwardly in substantial vertical alignment;
- (b) bushing support member attached transversely to said U-shaped mounting member lower leg, said support member having downwardly projecting end tabs with holes therethrough and having an elongated pin of predetermined diameter extending between said end tabs and through said holes;
- (c) drawbar having a first curled end pivotally attached to said pin between said end tabs and having a second slotted end extending rearwardly thereof;
- (d) at least one bushing mounting on said pin adjacent said drawbar and between said end tabs;
- (e) a threaded rod having one end protruding through the upper leg of said U-shaped mounting member and having the other end pivotally attached to said drawbar, and a compression spring mounted about said rod between said upper leg and said pivotal attachment;
- (f) an implement attaching bracket transversely bolted to said drawbar through said slotted end, said bracket having extensible and retractable horizontal arms with downwardly extending ends, each of said ends having an implement attachment hole therein;
- and
- (g) concave rolling shields rotatably attached to said implement attaching bracket through said implement attaching hole, said shields mounted with the concave portions in facing relationship.
