Abstract:
A towable agricultural implement, having a center frame and two wing frames pivotally coupled on the center frame to move between a field frame position extending laterally outward and a range of transport positions extending generally rearward, further includes a transport wheel on each wing frame that is pivotal about an upright steering axis through a range of wheel positions including a neutral transport wheel position for rolling forwardly. Each transport wheel is pivotal from the neutral transport wheel position in either one of two opposing steering directions under control of a steering actuator through an overall range of greater than 90 degrees. The wheels can be steered in a common direction during transport. A control system can also attempt to maintain a constant angle between the center section and the wings to allow reversing while in transport mode.
