An agricultural implement includes a toolbar system having a toolbar frame, an elevator assembly, and a first wing on one side of the toolbar frame. The first wing may be coupled to the elevator and pivotable about a first vertical axis of rotation between an extended and a folded position. Tools may be coupled to the first wing and rotatable relative to a longitudinal axis of the first wing from an operating position below the first wing to a transport/shipping position above the first wing. Further, the first wing may be adapted to be moveable to position the first wing higher than a wheel of the agricultural implement on the same side of the toolbar frame in the folded position. Subsequently, the tools may be circularly rotated and the middle wing and tools pushed down to reduce the overall width and height of the implement for transporting or shipping.

The implement of claim 13, wherein each of the tools coupled to each of the first wing, the second wing, and the third wing are configured to fit substantially within a profile of the frame and the at least one wheel on each side of the frame when in the transport/shipping position. 15. The implement of claim 1, wherein the one or more tools coupled to the first wing is adapted to be circularly rotatable about respective points of coupling on the first wing. 16. The implement of claim 15, wherein the transport/shipping position is such that the first wing is pushed downward so as to be approximately parallel to the same side of the implement and the one or more tools are rotated so as to be approximately parallel to the same side of the agricultural implement. 17. The implement of claim 1, wherein when the at least one of the plurality of first wing members is rotated to the transport/shipping position above the first wing, the at least one of the plurality of first wing members is configured to be oriented vertically upward. 18. The implement of claim 1, wherein when the at least one of the plurality of first wing members is rotated to the transport/shipping position above the first wing, the at least one of the plurality of first wing members is configured to fit substantially within a profile of the frame and the at least one wheel on each side of the frame. 19. A toolbar system for an agricultural implement comprising: a toolbar frame;an elevator assembly coupled to the toolbar frame and including a shaft and an elevator, the elevator coupled to the shaft such that the elevator is movable vertically relative to the shaft between a first height and a second height;a first wing having a plurality of first wing members, the first wing on one side of the toolbar frame and the first wing having an inner portion coupled to the elevator and an outer portion, and the first wing being pivotable about a first vertical axis of rotation adjacent to the elevator assembly between an extended position wherein the first wing extends laterally outward from the toolbar frame and a folded position wherein the first wing is oriented approximately perpendicular to the toolbar frame; andone or more tools coupled to at least one of the plurality of first wing members,wherein the at least one of the plurality of first wing members is adapted to be rotatable relative to a longitudinal axis of the first wing from an operating position below the first wing to a transport/shipping position above the first wing, andwherein the first wing is adapted to be moveable so as to position the first wing higher than a wheel of the agricultural implement on the same side of the toolbar frame in the folded position, andwherein the elevator assembly is pivotable about the first vertical axis of rotation such that the first wing coupled to the elevator pivots about the first vertical axis of rotation with the elevator assembly. 20.
