The present invention relates to a new frame support that prevents implement frames and parts from experiencing high forces and instead, transmits the forces through the ground working tools down to the ground. The frame support can be used in conjunction with the suspension system of any implement adapted for travel over the ground and preferably, the invention is used in conjunction with an agricultural packer. The packer may be of any size, but typically is of a five section configuration. In the preferred embodiment, the frame support is a rigid protrusion fixed to the packer frame above the packer coil. The frame support could also be a flat plate, or a rolling element. The frame support is adapted to contact the packer coil during the wing up and wing down operations of the implement. When the frame support and the packer coil contact, the high forces incurred during the wing up and wing down operations are transmitted through the frame support and packer coil down to the ground. In this way, the packer coil subframe does not experience these high loads. The packer coils are preferably mounted to the forward lateral member of each frame section, alternating between being mounted behind the lateral member and being mounted in front of the lateral member. Another embodiment would be to mount the packer coils to the frame alternating between the forward and rearward lateral frame members. Alternately, the packer coils could be mounted to the implement frame in any fashion deemed suitable. In another embodiment, the individual packer coils could be replaced with a gang of packer coils for mounting to the frame.
