ABSTRACT:
A multiple section fold-up agricultural implement is provided with a folding support (61) for the outboard section (13). When the outboard section (13) is pivoted from its aligned position with the adjacent implement section (12), as shown in FIG. 2, to its folded position as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a long support arm (62) swings from a low silhouette position of FIG. 2 to an extended bracing position wherein the cradle (76) on the end of the support arm (62) abuts the frame member (77) of the outboard section (13) sufficiently far from the folding axis (26) to adequately support outboard section (13), particularly in its inverted position, shown in FIG. 4, wherein excessive forces would otherwise be imposed on the folding mechanism (45) during travel over rough terrain.
