Abstract
A ground engaging agricultural toolbar for accommodating uneven terrain. The toolbar is provided with a plurality of long arms with multiple articulations, actuated and controlled by hydraulic cylinders.

The toolbar may also be actuated to anticipated variations in the terrain, to further prevent potential damage to the machine.
