Abstract
A farm implement having a main transverse central frame and outer frames that are connected to opposite ends of the main frame to swing between transversely extending positions and rearwardly extending positions with respect to the central frame. The central frame carries a vertical mast on which is mounted a horizontal tool-supporting beam structure. A powered device is provided between the beam structure and the main central frame to raise the beam structure on the mast to thereby elevate the tools carried by the beam structure to a height permitting the outer sections to swing rearwardly and inwardly beneath the tools on the beam structure.
