A towed agricultural implement including a support frame, with one end adapted for connection to a towing vehicle, a drive apparatus carried by the support frame, with one end of the drive adapted for connection to the towing vehicle, support arms carried from the support frame, where each of the support arms are moveable between a working position and a transport position, and each support arm includes at least one rotary rake adapted to be driven about a central rake axis, a drive arrangement connecting the rotary rake to the drive apparatus, and an intermediate drive element connecting the drive apparatus and the drive arrangement moveably supported from the support frame to ensure that a sufficient overall length is available for the displaceable arm drive arrangement in the transport position.

Intermediate drive element for towed agricultural implement

A towed agricultural implement includes one or more processing units each supported on a chassis, in which each chassis supports at least one processing unit on a central axis, the chassis having a left hand side wheel assembly support and a right hand side wheel assembly support, free ends of the wheel assembly supports having wheel assemblies, each wheel assembly comprising a wheel mounted on a wheel mount, the wheel mount being rotatable about an inclined axis, and the wheel being rotatable about a horizontal axis. The wheel assembly supporting structures and the wheel mounts allow limited relative movement of each wheel mount with respect to the wheel assembly supporting structures which enables greater control when the towed agricultural implement is towed about a corner.
