Abstract
For an implement, a caster wheel assembly including a tubular member connected to reciprocate as the caster wheel swivels. An adjustable brake assembly resists movement of the tubular member to eliminate caster wheel wobble as the implement is transported. A plurality of caster wheel assemblies permit the implement to crab between the towing vehicle and a trailing implement. The brake assemblies provide convenient locking and control of selective wheels for the desired swivel action in numerous operating situations.
