Patent number: 10426075Abstract: An agricultural implement which can be configured in a work position and a transport position. The agricultural implement includes a center frame defining a frame axis. The agricultural implement also includes a left toolbar and a right toolbar respectively pivotally connected to the center frame. The agricultural implement also includes a left draft tube and a right draft tube respectively pivotally connected to the left and right toolbars. In the work position the left draft tube is pivotally folded relative to the left toolbar and in the transport position the left draft tube is pivotally unfolded relative to the left toolbar. In the work position the right draft tube is pivotally folded relative to the right toolbar and in the transport position the right draft tube is pivotally unfolded relative to the right toolbar.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Cale N. Boriack, Buweneke A. Fernando

Patent number: 10342172Abstract: In one embodiment, an agricultural implement system includes a folding stand. The folding stand includes an attachment member configured to attach the folding stand to an agricultural implement, wherein the attachment member comprises a track. The folding stand further includes a support member coupled to attachment member, wherein the support member comprises a sliding member disposed onto the track, the sliding member configured to slidably follow the track. The folding stand additionally includes an abutment member disposed on a first end of the support member and configured to abut against a portion of the agricultural implement when the folding stand is in a fully deployed position and to not abut against the portion of the agricultural implement when the folding stand in a stowaway position.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventor: Buweneke Fernando

Patent number: 10285322Abstract: An agricultural implement including a stacking toolbar assembly. The stacking toolbar assembly includes a center toolbar, a center support beam, at least one pivot beam rotatably coupled to the center support beam at a first joint, at least one wing toolbar moveably coupled to the at least one pivot beam at a second joint, and an actuating system. The actuating system includes at least one first actuator coupled to the center support beam and the at least one pivot beam, and at least one second actuator coupled to the at least one pivot beam and the at least one wing toolbar. The at least one wing toolbar is moveable from a work position in which the at least one wing toolbar is substantially laterally aligned with the center toolbar and a transport position in which the at least one wing toolbar is stacked above the center toolbar.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Cale N. Boriack, Buweneke A. Fernando
