Abstract
An adjustable frame assembly of a planter includes a main frame, a first frame member movably coupled to the main frame, and a drive mechanism operably coupled between the main frame and the first frame member for moving the first frame member along the first axis relative to the main frame. The first frame member is laterally movable along a first axis which is perpendicular to a direction of travel of the planter. The frame assembly also includes a first arm having a first end and a second end, the first end being coupled to the main frame and the second end being coupled to a first row unit. A second arm is provided having a first end and a second end, where the first end is coupled to the first frame member and the second end is coupled to the first row unit.
