Abstract: A wing locking assembly for an agricultural implement is provided. One agricultural implement includes a first frame section having a mounted bracket and a second frame section pivotally coupled to the first frame section. A cam is mounted to the second frame section. The implement includes an actuating cylinder having a first end pivotally coupled to the second frame section, and a second end disposed within a slot of the bracket. The implement also includes a locking mechanism rotatably coupled to the bracket. The locking mechanism includes a first end configured to engage the second end of the actuating cylinder, and a second end configured to abut the cam. The locking mechanism is configured to drive the second end of the actuating cylinder into a desired position within the slot upon contact between the cam and the second end of the locking mechanism.

Abstract: An agricultural cart including a product metering system comprising an auger assembly extending generally along an axis non-parallel to a horizontal plane and non-perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and a holding chamber disposed at an upstream end of the auger assembly and configured to reduce pulsations within a flow of agricultural product from the auger assembly. The agricultural cart also includes an air source coupled to the product metering system and configured to transfer the agricultural product to an agricultural implement via an airflow.

Abstract: A position adjustment assembly for an agricultural conveyor includes an inner arm having a first end configured to rotatably couple to an agricultural storage system, and an outer arm having a first end, a second end, and a pivot positioned between the first end and the second end. A second end of the inner arm is rotatably coupled to the outer arm at the pivot, and the agricultural conveyor is configured to rotatably couple to the second end of the outer arm. The position adjustment assembly also includes a rotation control assembly configured to couple to the agricultural storage system, and an intermediate link having a first end engaged with the rotation control assembly, and a second end rotatably coupled to the first end of the outer arm.

Abstract: A position adjustment assembly for an agricultural conveyor includes an inner arm having a first end configured to rotatably couple to an agricultural storage system at a first location. The position adjustment assembly also includes an outer arm having a first end, a second end, and a pivot positioned between the first end and the second end. A second end of the inner arm is rotatably coupled to the outer arm at the pivot, and the agricultural conveyor is configured to rotatably couple to the second end of the outer arm. In addition, the position adjustment assembly includes an intermediate link having a first end configured to rotatably couple to the agricultural storage system at a second location, longitudinally offset from the first location. A second end of the intermediate link is rotatably coupled to the first end of the outer arm.

Abstract: A seed drill planting apparatus includes an opener configured to plant a row of seeds at locations corresponding to the wing tips of the openers and a row of fertilizer at the center of the opener. The press wheels for the opener are constructed of a pair of skewed wheels that are arranged to throw soil inwardly to provide a proper cover for the rows of seeds and fertilizer placed into the ground by the opener. The skewed press wheels are connected to an adjusting mechanism that is operable to selectively vary the angle at which the press wheels are skewed with respect to the direction of travel. A one-way castering wheel is also provided to function to caster for tight turns on the side of the implement at the inside of the turn, but automatically locks into a stable position when the implement is converted into a transport position.
