Abstract
An agricultural implement includes a tool moveable between a first position at which the tool engages soil within a field and a second position at which the tool is positioned above the soil. Furthermore, the agricultural implement includes a driven actuator including a driven rod coupled to the tool such that the driven actuator is configured to move the tool between the first and second positions. Additionally, the agricultural implement includes a regeneration actuator having a regeneration rod coupled to the tool such that the regeneration rod moves when the driven rod moves. Moreover, the agricultural implement includes an accumulator fluidly coupled to the regeneration cylinder such that, when the driven rod moves the tool toward the first position, the regeneration actuator supplies hydraulic fluid to the accumulator and, when the driven rod moves the tool toward the second position, the accumulator supplies the hydraulic fluid to the regeneration cylinder.
