ABSTRACT:
A guidance system for an implement drawn by a tractor with the implement being interconnected to the tractor by a conventional hitch. An elongated arm or support is pivotally secured, about a vertical axis, to the implement adjacent one end thereof and extends forwardly therefrom. A pair of gauge wheels are rotatably mounted on the forward end of the arm and are adapted to follow along the opposite sides of a ridge of the row. A ground engaging coulter is supported on the elongated arm and as the elongated arm pivots with respect to the implement, as the implement moves out of proper alignment with the rows, the coulter tends to steer the implement back into proper alignment with the rows and provides further resistance to the lateral movement of the gauge wheels with respect to the ridge.
