Abstract
Agricultural apparatus to be driven by a tractor comprises a main frame attachable to the rear end of the tractor, a pair of ground-engaging wheels carried on the opposite ends of the main frame, a pair of rotary-driven agricultural units mounted on opposite sides of the main frame along a common axis, and a third rotary-driven agricultural unit mounted on the main frame centrally between the pair of units and rearwardly of their common axis. The three rotary-driven agricultural units such as rotary tillers, are each independently mounted to the main frame by a separate 3-point connection, permitting each to be float upwardly or downwardly with respect to the ground.

Agricultural apparatus for attachment to a tractor having a rotary take-off shaft, comprising:
- a main frame attachable at its front end to the rear end of the tractor to extend transversely thereacross;
- a pair of ground-engaging wheels carried on the opposite ends of said main frame for supporting it when towed by the tractor;
- first and second rotary-driven agricultural units spacedly mounted from each other on the opposite sides of the main frame along a common axis rearwardly of the main frame;
- a third rotary-driven agricultural unit mounted on the main frame centrally between and in overlapping relation to said first and second units and rearwardly of their common axis;
- and transmission means coupling said first, second and third agricultural units to the power take-off shaft of the tractor so as to be driven thereby;
- said first, second and third agricultural units each being independently mounted to said main frame by a separate three-point connection permitting independent floating movement thereof with respect to the ground.
