Folding walkway for seeding machine

An agricultural implement comprising:

• a frame;
• a pivot arm having a first end and a second end, the first end of the pivot arm is pivotally mounted to the frame, the pivot arm having a working position and a transport position;
• a ground engaging tool is mounted to the second end of the pivot arm, when the pivot arm is in its working position the ground engaging tool is in contact with the ground;
• an operator walkway pivotally mounted to the frame, the operator walkway having a horizontal working position and a stored transport position that is predominantly vertical, whereby the operator walkway is automatically pivoted from its stored transport position to its horizontal working position as the pivot arm is pivoted from its transport position to its working position.

A seeding machine comprising:

• a frame;
• a hopper mounted to the frame;
• a pivot arm having a first end and a second end, the first end of the pivot arm is pivotally mounted to the frame, the pivot arm having a working position and a transport position;
• a planting unit is mounted to the second end of the pivot arm, when the pivot arm is in its working position the planting unit is in contact with the ground;
• a flexible tube extends between the hopper and the planting unit;
• an operator walkway pivotally mounted to the frame, the operator walkway having a horizontal working position and a stored transport position that is predominantly vertical, whereby the operator walkway is automatically pivoted from its horizontal working position to its stored transport position as the pivot arm is pivoted from its working position to its transport position.
