- Conditionings like ploughing, cultivation and harrowing are typically performed by towing an agricultural tool or implement behind a tractor.
- Such agricultural implement are having a not insignificant extension in the direction of the intended movement through the soil. For this reason it will often be necessary to support the implement with one or more wheels located at a front part of the implement as well as with one or more wheels at a rear part of the implement.
- the height adjustment of the rear wheels and thereby the working depth of the rear part of the implement may be manually adjusted by turning a handle at the rear part of the implement, which handle thereby adjusts the vertical position of the rear wheel relative to the rest of the implement.
- Other implements may be provided with a hydraulic cylinder for adjustment of the height of the rear wheel.
- the height adjustment of the front wheels and thereby the working depth of the front part of the implement will typically be adjusted by manually adjustment of the height of the three point hitch of the tractor towing the implement.

- a three point hitch comprises an upper rigid top link, which length may be manually adjustable by turning a turnbuckle having two oppositely threaded inner threads connecting two oppositely threaded end bars.
- manually hydraulic top linkages are also available on the market.
- This fact is mainly due to the fact that an adjustment of the height above ground of the implement at one end thereof will change the implement's longitudinal angle and thereby affect the height above ground of the implement at its opposite end.
