Abstract: An exemplary form of mobile agricultural equipment generally includes a main frame, a wing frame, and a hinge mechanism. The main frame defines a track, and the wing frame has a roller rotatably mounted thereon. The hinge mechanism movably couples the main frame with the wing frame such that the wing frame is movable relative to the main frame between a first orientation and a second orientation. The hinge mechanism generally includes a sub-hinge plate pivotably coupled with the main frame, a first link pivotably coupled to each of the wing frame and the sub-hinge plate, and a second link pivotably coupled to each of the wing frame and the sub-hinge plate.

Abstract: A hinge assembly for pivotally connecting a first frame section and a second frame section includes at least one pivot plate pivotally connected to the first mounting structure of the first frame section with a first pin and pivotally connected to the first mounting structure of the second frame section with a second pin. The hinge assembly further includes a linkage bar with a first end pivotally connected to the second mounting structure of the first frame section with a third pin and a second end pivotally connected to the second mounting structure of the second frame section with a fourth pin. The pivot plate and the linkage bar are configured such that the second frame section pivots about the fourth pin during a working state and about the third pin during a transition between the working state and a folding state.

Abstract: A towed cart and implement having a brake assembly enabled for independent application of the cart brake assembly without application of the brakes of prime mover in a burst application of the brake assembly for a predetermined duration. A brake control system includes a display which indicates the capacity of the brake assembly for burst application based on a temperature of a brake assembly component. The temperature may be measured or estimated based on duration and timing of burst brake applications.
