  • Publication number: 20090288847
    Abstract: The Quick Change Toolbar Construction Kit provides a parts based kit that when assembled systematically, and temporarily by connecting the quick change parts, one can create an unspecified number of usable toolbar configurations that can perform an unspecified number of tasks by easily transforming a single toolbar into different styles, sizes and configurations, so as to have a usable functioning toolbar that performs tasks including but not limited to tillage, seeding, material handling, landscape work or trailer towing without ever having to disconnect the main frame portion of the toolbar from the three point hitch equipped towing unit. This invention has the capability for quick expansion or reduction of the toolbar in width, length and depth.
