  • Patent number: 11419255
    Abstract: A system that includes a wheel carrier system. The wheel carrier system includes a first wheel that couples to a first shaft. A first connector couples the first shaft to a central shaft. A second wheel couples to a second shaft. A second connector couples the second shaft to the central shaft. The first wheel and the second wheel independently rotate and move vertically. A first wheel carrier arm couples to a wheel carrier frame. A first link rotates a ground engaging tool system with respect to the wheel carrier frame to transition the ground engaging tool system from a lowered position to a raised position. An actuator simultaneously rotates the first wheel carrier arm from a first position to a second position and the ground engaging tool system from the lowered position to the raised position.
