ABSTRACT:
An improved breakaway assembly for preventing damage to markers for agricultural equipment when such markers encounter obstacles during use. The improved breakaway assembly includes an elongated member for holding the marker in place, imparting only tension forces onto such elongated member and minimizing the amount of shearing forces typically encountered by prior art shear pins. The elongated member is generally positioned tangentially to an arc formed by rotation of the point of attachment of such elongated member about the vertical axis on which the marker pivots when an obstruction is encountered.
