ABSTRACT:
A swingable transport bar comprising a linkage arrangement for attachment to press drills or other similar earth working equipment to transport the drill in normal seeding relationship across a field and thereafter to swing the linkage arrangement from a normal frontal position on the drill to an end position such that the drill may be towed down roadways or the like to present a width which is transportable. The swingable transport bar includes a first rigid bar attachable to a forward end of the device to be towed and a triangular, formable linkage arrangement which includes linkage members pivotally attached to the first bar to form a normal triangular towing hitch arrangement extending forwardly to the towing vehicle and which triangular arrangement is shiftable to lie in adjacent relationship to the first mentioned bar such that the towing end of the arrangement will now be displaced to one side of the unit for pulling the unit in a sidewards direction. The invention includes means for latching the linkage members in their alternate positions without requiring the use of connector pins and the like such that normally such transition may be made without an operator getting off the towing vehicle and connecting and disconnecting the same.
