ABSTRACT:
A transporter for a pair of transversely elongated agricultural implements (20, 21) having first, mutually remote ends and second ends in abuting apposition, the implements including forward support wheels (36) and arrays (44, 45, 46) of pivotally mounted rearward packer wheels. The transport comprises first and second frames (114) attached rigidly to the backs of the implements near their abutting ends, first and second wheel assemblies (121, 126, 137, 143, 144) mounted in the frames for linear vertical movement with respect to the lower ends of the frames, a latch arrangement 150-157 actuable between an inoperative position and an operative position in which increase in the transverse displacement between the upper ends of the frames is prevented, and hydraulic motors (132, 145, 160) arranged for simultaneous energization to move the wheel assemblies and actuate the latch arrangement so as to first cause the wheels to move downward into contact with the ground, then cause actuation of the latch arrangement, and then continue downward movement of the wheels to raise the frames so that the packing wheels are out of contact with the ground, and the latch arrangement prevents sagging of the mutually remote ends of the implements. The latch arrangement also functions (170-175) to resiliently pivot the packer wheels upwardly in the implements.
A second embodiment shows a transporter for three transversely elongated implements (200, 201, 202). A securing mechanism (220) secures adjacent implements together.
