Abstract: A row unit for an agricultural seeding implement includes a linkage assembly having a head bracket configured to couple the row unit to a toolbar. The linkage assembly also includes a body, a top link pivotally coupled to the head bracket and to the body, and a bottom link pivotally coupled to the head bracket and to the body. Furthermore, the row unit includes a first opener assembly pivotally coupled to one of the top link or the bottom link via a pivot joint positioned forward of the body with respect to a direction of travel of the row unit. The row unit also includes a pivot control assembly configured to control rotation of the first opener assembly about the pivot joint. In addition, the row unit includes a second opener assembly coupled to the body, and a packer wheel assembly movably coupled to the body.

Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a frame including a center section and a first wing section and a second wing section flanking the center section. The first wing section and the second wing section are configured to move relative to the center section during transitions between a folded position and an unfolded position. The agricultural implement includes a first rigid tube assembly disposed on the center section having a first set of rigid tubes and a second set of rigid tubes, a second rigid tube assembly disposed on the first wing section, and a third rigid tube assembly disposed on the second wing section. The agricultural implement includes a structural support configured to enable movement of the first set of rigid tubes and the second set of rigid tubes relative to the center section and each other during the transitions between the folded position and the unfolded position.
