  • Patent number: 5143160
    Abstract: A cart or "caddy" is provided for operation and transport of one or more chain harrows, the cart consisting of a frame running on a pair of road wheels. Different harrow mountings can be mounted on the frame, all of which include a draw bar to which the harrow is attached for operation. All of the mountings enable the draw bar to be lifted from the ground and then the body of the harrow to be engaged by one or more spaced cross bars parallel to the draw bar and over which the harrow is draped to store it and permit it to be transported on the cart out of contact with the ground. Some of the mountings are pivoted to the cart frame about an axis that in the stored position is vertical, so that the mounting and harrow can be turned longitudinally to reduce the effective width and permit the use of harrows that would otherwise be too wide to be moved over public roads.
