Patent Images
1. An agricultural implement system, comprising:
- a pivotable lift assembly comprising;
a first bar member;
a second bar member rotatively coupled to the first bar member, wherein the first bar member and the second bar member are parallel with each other and a ground along a lengthwise axis when the pivotable lift assembly is on even ground;
a first wheel assembly disposed on a first distal end of the second bar member;
a second wheel assembly disposed on a second distal end of the second bar member,wherein a first arm member carries the first wheel assembly and is rotatively coupled to the first end of the second bar member and the first wheel assembly enables a first rotation of a first wheel along a first axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the lengthwise axis, and a second arm member carries the second wheel assembly and is rotatively coupled to the second end of the second bar member and the second wheel assembly enables a second rotation of a second wheel along a second axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the lengthwise axis; and
an attachment assembly configured to attach the pivotable lift assembly to an agricultural implement, wherein the pivotable lift assembly is configured to aid in carrying a weight of the agricultural implement.
