A holder assembly is illustrated to support at least one flexible line extending along a telescoping tongue assembly of an agricultural implement. The holder assembly includes a first pivotally coupled link in general parallel alignment with a second pivotally coupled link, and at least one post pivotally interconnected between the first pivotally coupled link and the second pivotally coupled link. The holder assembly further includes a bracket connected at the post and configured to receive the at least one flexible line between the bracket and the post. As the telescoping tongue assembly moves between a retracted position and an extended position, the holder assembly enhances support of the flexible lines.

We claim: 1. A holder assembly configured to receive at least one flexible line, comprising: a first pivotally coupled link in general alignment with a second pivotally coupled link; at least one post pivotally coupled between the first pivotally coupled link and the second pivotally coupled link; and a bracket connected at the post, wherein the bracket receives the at least one flexible line between the bracket and the post, wherein the post includes a plate structure having a first end and a second end and a body portion therebetween, the first end of the post having a rectangular cross-sectional shape with a first width and the body portion having a second width that is greater than the first width of the first end, and wherein the second end of the post has a rounded cross-sectional shape of a diameter less than the second width of the body portion. 2. The holder assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the bracket includes a plate structure having a first angled end opposite a second angled end and a main body therebetween, and wherein the main body of the plate structure includes an opening generally located centrally between the first and second angled ends, the opening for receiving a fastener therethrough coupling the bracket to the post. 3. The holder assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the first pivotally coupled link includes a first opening to receive the first end and the body portion of the post therethrough. 4. The holder assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the second pivotally coupled link includes a second opening to receive the second end of the post. 5. A holder assembly as recited in claim 4, wherein the second opening of the second pivotally coupled link is of a diameter less than the second width of the body portion of the post. 6. The holder assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the first pivotally coupled link and the second pivotally coupled link each include a generally flat, elongated plate structure. 7. The holder assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein a first end of the first pivotally coupled link and a first end of the second pivotally coupled link each includes an opening to receive a shaft configured to pivotally support the holder assembly. 8. An agricultural implement, comprising: a frame assembly having a telescoping tongue assembly, at least one flexible line extending along the telescoping tongue assembly, the at least one flexible line associated with operation of the agricultural implement; a holder assembly in support of the at least one flexible line on the frame assembly of the agricultural implement, comprising: a first pivotally coupled link in general parallel alignment with a second pivotally coupled link; at least one post pivotally interconnected between the first pivotally coupled link and the second pivotally coupled link; and a bracket connected at the post, wherein the bracket receives the at least one flexible line between the bracket and the post, wherein the telescoping tongue assembly includes a first arm and a second arm in telescoping relation to the first arm, and further including a pivotal constraint assembly pivotally intercoupled at each end about a vertical axis between and relative to the first and second arms of the telescoping tongue assembly, respectively, and wherein the holder assembly is mounted on the constraint assembly, wherein the post includes a plate structure having a first end and a second end and a body portion therebetween, wherein the first end includes a rectangular cross-sectional shape having a first width, wherein the body portion has a second width that is greater than the first width of the first end of the post, wherein the second end has a rounded cross-sectional shape having a diameter less than the second width of the body portion. 9. The agricultural implement as recited in claim 8, wherein the first pivotally coupled link includes a first opening to receive the first end of the post. 10. The agricultural implement as recited in claim 8, wherein the second pivotally coupled link includes a second opening to receive the second end of the post. 11. The agricultural implement as recited in claim 10, wherein the second opening in the second pivotally coupled link is generally circular shaped to receive the second end of the post therethrough. 12. The agricultural implement as recited in claim 8, wherein a first opening in the first pivotally coupled link is configured to receive the second end and the body portion of the post therethrough. 13. The agricultural implement as recited in claim 8, wherein the bracket includes a plate structure having a first angled end and a second angled end and a flat body portion therebetween, wherein the body portion of the bracket includes a first bracket opening and the post includes a first post opening, and further including: a fastener received in the first bracket opening of the bracket and the first post opening of the post, the fastener coupling the bracket with the post.
