Abstract: The invention relates to an agricultural implement comprising a tool oscillating about a vertical axis, for example a spreading pipe of a fertilizer distributor, a mechanism for producing the oscillatory movement of the tool being formed by a rotatably driven flywheel and a coupling element eccentrically in said flywheel and engaging the tool or a holder thereof at a distance to said axis, and comprising a frame carrying the tool and the driving mechanism; the objects of the invention are to provide an improved frame, flywheel and toolholder respectively in particular the arrangement of the bearings relative to each other in order to achieve a more quiet run of the implement resulting in a light weight construction, longer lifetime and lower cost price.
