  • Patent number: 4315547
    Abstract: An attachment for agricultural machines includes a frame having a leading and trailing portion, a first soil-treating unit located at the leading portion of the frame and a second soil-treating unit located at the trailing portion of the frame. Between the first unit and the second unit there is located on the frame wheels for supporting the frame when an agricultural machine provided with the attachment moves along a road. The wheels are displaceable relative to the frame between a first position in which the wheels engage the ground and a second position in which the wheels do not engage the ground. The frame is so coupled to a lifting device of the agricultural machine that, when the wheels are in the second position, the trailing portion of the frame is supported on the ground by the second soil-treating unit.

  • Patent number: 4214634
    Abstract: An arrangement for coupling a cultivating attachment to a cultivating machine has a spring-suspended support articulately coupling a respective roller unit of the attachment to a main frame of the machine. The support includes elements for adjusting the relative elevation of the main frame and the roller unit while permitting relative vertical movement between the same. The support includes spring element opposing such relative movement with shock-absorbing action. A blocking element is provided cooperating with the spring-suspension support and movable between a blocking setting preventing the above-mentioned relative movement and an unblocking setting not preventing such limited movement.
