Actuator adjusted rolling baskets

1. An agricultural tillage implement, comprising:

a main frame section including a pull hitch extending in a travel direction, and a tool bar coupled with and extending transverse to said pull hitch;

a secondary frame coupled with at least one of said main frame and said tool bar; and

at least one rolling basket assembly coupled to said secondary frame, said rolling basket assembly including:

at least one rolling basket; and

at least one arm assembly having:

a first structural member extending from said secondary frame;

a biased device pivotally coupled to said first structural member;

a bracket pivotally coupled to said first structural member and to said biased device;

a second structural member pivotally coupled to said first structural member, said at least one rolling basket being rotationally coupled to said second structural member; and

an actuator pivotally coupled to said second structural member, said actuator also being pivotally coupled to said bracket, said second structural member and said bracket each being pivotally coupled to said first structural member about a generally horizontal common axis.

2. The agricultural tillage implement of claim 1 , wherein said bracket has two substantially parallel plates with said biased device, said first structural member, said second structural member and said actuator all being pivotally coupled to both of said plates.

3. The agricultural tillage implement of claim 2 , wherein said at least one arm assembly further includes a pin removeably associated with said bracket, said plates having holes therein for the reception of said pin including a first set of holes.

4. The agricultural tillage implement of claim 3 , wherein said first set of holes are configured to allow said second structural member to pivot to position said rolling basket in one of an up position and a down position with said pin removed from said first set of holes, said pin retaining said second structural member on a selected side of said first set of holes when said pin is positioned in said first set of holes.

5. The agricultural tillage implement of claim 4 , wherein said plates have a second set of holes for said pin, said second set of holes positioning said pin so said second structural member may pivot thereby allowing said rolling basket to be in a floating mode.

6. The agricultural tillage implement of claim 5 , wherein said rolling basket assembly is configured to position said second structural member below said first set of holes when said pin is removed from said first set of holes and when said actuator is retracted, said pin being insertable into said first set of holes after said actuator is retracted.

7. The agricultural tillage implement of claim 6 , wherein said at least one arm assembly includes a first arm assembly and a second arm assembly, said rolling basket being coupled to both said first arm assembly and said second arm assembly.

8. The agricultural tillage implement of claim 1 , wherein said biased device and said actuator are in a mechanical series positioning arrangement with said rolling basket.

9. The agricultural tillage implement of claim 8 , wherein said bracket is configured to be pinned to hold said second structural member in a relatively fixed position to thereby hold said roller basket in a ground engaging position.

10. A rolling basket assembly for use with an agricultural tillage implement having a frame, the rolling basket assembly comprising:

a rolling basket; and

at least one arm assembly having:

a first structural member extending from said frame;

a biased device pivotally coupled to one of said first structural member and said frame;

a bracket pivotally coupled to said first structural member and to said biased device;

a second structural member pivotally coupled to said first structural member, said at least one rolling basket being rotationally coupled to said second structural member; and

an actuator pivotally coupled to said second structural member, said actuator also being pivotally coupled to said bracket, said second structural member and said bracket each being pivotally coupled to said first structural member about a generally horizontal common axis.

11. The rolling basket assembly of claim 10 , wherein said bracket has two substantially parallel plates with said biased device, said first structural member, said second structural member and said actuator all being pivotally coupled to both of said plates.

12. The rolling basket assembly of claim 11 , wherein said at least one arm assembly further includes a pin removeably associated with said bracket, said plates having holes therein for the reception of said pin including a first set of holes.

13. The rolling basket assembly of claim 12 , wherein said first set of holes are configured to allow said second structural member to pivot to position said rolling basket in one of an up position and a down position with said pin removed from said first set of holes, said pin retaining said second structural member on a selected side of said first set of holes when said pin is positioned in said first set of holes.

14. The rolling basket assembly of claim 13 , wherein said plates have a second set of holes for said pin, said second set of holes positioning said pin so said second structural member may pivot thereby allowing said rolling basket to be in a floating mode.

15. The rolling basket assembly of claim 14 , wherein said rolling basket assembly is configured to position said second structural member below said first set of holes when said pin is removed from said first set of holes and when said actuator is retracted, said pin being insertable into said first set of holes after said actuator is retracted.

16. The rolling basket assembly of claim 15 , wherein said at least one arm assembly includes a first arm assembly and a second arm assembly, said rolling basket being coupled to both said first arm assembly and said second arm assembly.

17. The rolling basket assembly of claim 10 , wherein said biased device and said actuator are in a mechanical series positioning arrangement with said rolling basket.

18. The rolling basket assembly of claim 17 , wherein said bracket is configured to be pinned to hold said second structural member in a relatively fixed position to thereby hold said roller basket in a ground engaging position.
