Abstract
A tillage implement is configured to be towed behind an agricultural vehicle. An implement frame has a first lengthwise frame member, a second lengthwise frame member, and a lateral frame member connected to and extending between the first and second lengthwise frame members. A tool assembly is pivotally connected to the implement frame and includes a ground engaging member. An actuator has a first portion connected to the implement frame and a second portion connected to the tool assembly. Movement of the actuator adjusts the position of the tool assembly relative to the implement frame. The lateral frame member includes an actuator opening and at least a portion of the actuator extends into the actuator opening and the lateral frame member.
