A multi-position support mechanism for an implement that employs an elongate member pivotably mounted at one end to the tongue of the implement and having a hook on the opposing end. The pivotable connection between the tongue and the elongate member provides a plurality of generally fixed positions, at least one where the hook supports the vehicle pto coupler, at least one for supporting hydraulic hoses, and at least one storage position where the elongate member and the hook are not in use.

A pull-type mower conditioner includes a crop harvesting header vertically movable relative to the frame of the mower conditioner between a raised transport position and a lowered operative position, a lift mechanism to effect the movement of the crop harvesting header relative to the frame, and a transport latch mechanism to control the locking of the lift mechanism in the transport position. The transport latch mechanism has a biasing lever operably positionable between locking and unlocking positions. An extension spring is connected to the biasing lever to bias the lever in the selectable positions. The transport latch will not engage whenever the header is moved to the transport position to avoid an obstacle unless the biasing lever is moved to the lock position. Once the biasing lever is adjusted to bias the transport latch into the lock position, the raising of the header into the transport position will actuate the transport latch and lock the lift mechanism from returning the header to the lowered position. The lift linkage incorporates a cam mechanism that serves as an upper flotation limit under normal operating conditions and automatically converts into a device for securing the header in the transport position when the header is moved into the transport position.

An agricultural baler for making cylindrical bales of crop material having a sledge assembly moveable between bale starting and full bale positions. The sledge assembly includes a plurality of rollers which cooperate with an apron to define a bale forming chamber. A dispensing mechanism is carried on the sledge assembly for dispensing sheet material, such as net or the like, into the bale forming chamber whereupon it is wrapped circumferentially around a cylindrical bale of crop material in the bale forming chamber. A net spreading system is associated with the dispensing mechanism to assure that the net being fed into the bale chamber via the dispensing mechanism is maintained at its nominal width which corresponds generally to the width of the chamber.
