ABSTRACT:
A towed implement includes apparatus adapted for being driven by a power take-off shaft of a towing tractor. The implement includes a tongue having a hitch bracket at its forward end, the bracket incorporating a ball coupler. A hitch adapter is provided for coupling the hitch bracket to a three-point hitch of the towing tractor, the adapter including a hitch bar connected to the ball coupler by a pin. The implement includes a power transmission assembly separate from the hitch adapter and including identical first and second right angle gear boxes, with the first gear box being rigidly fixed to the tongue and the second gear box being drivingly coupled to the first gear box along an axis passing through the ball coupler and about which the second gear box may rotate. The second gear box has an input shaft coupled for being driven by the tractor power take-off shaft and a steering arm is coupled to the second gear box and has an end received in a guide track fixed to the hitch adapter so as to keep the second gear box input shaft aligned with the tractor power take-off shaft.
