FIELD: agriculture.
SUBSTANCE: in one of embodiments the agricultural implement comprises a tool bar and a working frame connected to the tool bar with the ability of rotation. The agricultural implement also comprises a plurality of sowing sections connected to the working frame, and the frame drive extending between the tool bar and the working frame. The frame drive is made with the ability of rotation of the working frame between the lowered position in which each sowing section is in contact with the ground, and a transport position in which each sowing section is raised above the ground. The frame drive is also configured with the ability to transfer weight from the tool bar to the working frame, when the working frame is in the lowered position. This weight is sufficient to maintain contact between each sowing section and the soil without additional biasing assembly extending between the tool bar and the working frame. Each sowing section comprises a tool for interaction with the ground, configured with the ability of selective engagement and disengagement with the soil when the working frame is in the lowered position.
EFFECT: the invention enables to maintain the desired depth of penetration into soil during the sowing operation.
