Abstract
An agricultural tillage implement includes a main section including a hitch extending in a travel direction, a plurality of foldable wing sections coupled with the main section, at least one auxiliary implement assembly coupled to each of the wing sections and a control system. Each auxiliary implement assembly includes at least one support member, at least one pivotal arm pivotally coupled to the support member, at least one actuator coupled to both the support member and the pivotal arm and a ground contacting implement coupled to the pivotal arm. The control system is configured to actuate the actuators to control a position of each ground contacting implement in each of the sections when the agricultural implement is transitioning to a transport mode.
Claims17
An agricultural tillage implement, comprising:
- a main section including a pull hitch extending in a travel direction;
- a plurality of foldable wing sections coupled with said main section;
- at least one auxiliary implement assembly coupled to each of said wing sections, each said auxiliary implement assembly including:
- at least one support member;
- at least one pivotal arm pivotally coupled to said support member;
- at least one actuator coupled to both said support member and said pivotal arm;
- and
- a ground contacting implement coupled to said pivotal arm;
- and
- a control system configured to actuate said actuators to control a position of each said ground contacting implement in each of said sections when the agricultural implement is transitioning to a transport mode.
A control system of an agricultural tillage implement, the implement having a main section including a pull hitch extending in a travel direction, a plurality of foldable wing sections coupled with the main section and at least one auxiliary implement assembly coupled to each of the wing sections, each auxiliary implement assembly including at least one support member, at least one pivotal arm pivotally coupled to the support member, at least one actuator coupled to both the support member and the pivotal arm and a ground contacting implement coupled to the pivotal arm, the control system comprising a controller configured to actuate the actuators to control a position of each ground contacting implement in each of the sections when the agricultural implement is transitioning to a transport mode.
