Massive Farming Equipment and How they Move From Farm to the Field#farmequipment#toolbar#cultivators

Have you ever wondered how farmers get their 60 foot cultivators folded up for transport? This Swinging Spider cultivator has a 24 row toolbar with multiple hydraulic cylinders. Watch it get ready to go from the farm, to the field. These large toolbars are called quad-fold or double-fold. They have
two pairs of hinges that allow this cultivator to become a very compact unit. This particular setup has 25 Swinging Spider Units, each one weighing about 260 pounds. Plus you have the weight of the extensions and finger weeders. That's over 4 tons mounted to this massive toolbar. Once the toolbar is fully folded it is then ready to maneuver through the narrow farm roads.
