An offset towing apparatus for an implement supported by rear wheels rotating about an axis perpendicular to the operating travel direction. A tow arm connects between a vertical towing pivot axis at the towing vehicle and a vertical implement pivot axis at the implement hitch. A middle portion of the tow arm is pivotally attached about a vertical beam pivot to a beam on castor wheels. A strut attached to the implement pivot axis extends laterally and a bar is attached to the strut about a strut pivot axis and extends forward parallel to the tow arm to a front end attached to the beam about a bar pivot axis. The tow arm, the beam, the strut, and the bar form a parallel linkage between the beam pivot axis, the implement pivot axis, the strut pivot axis and the bar pivot axis allowing the implement to pivot to either side.
