Disclosed is a hitchable and towable implement suitable for the attachment of various agricultural tooling and that is convertible between a laterally expanded use position and a laterally narrow transport position. The implement has a wheeled lower center section connectable to a towing tractor by an elongate tongue member. An upper center frame section rotates on the lower center section. Powered and hinged lift arms extend in opposite directions from the upper center section and attach to a pair of wing sections for raising and lowering the wing sections. The wing sections rotate with the lift arms and the upper center section about the lower center section. Rotation of the upper center section one quarter turn swings the wing sections between a lateral position with respect to the lower center frame section and the transport position in which the wing sections are fore and aft of the lower center section. In the use position, lift arms and wing sections are laterally positioned and lowered to transfer weight from the center section to wheels on the wing sections. The lower center section and wing sections each have attachment bars extending horizontally for the attachment of desired tooling. Hydraulic cylinders can provide the power means for the lifting of the wing sections and the rotation of the upper center portion. The raising, lowering and swinging can all be remotely controlled from a tow vehicle.
