An agricultural row unit for use with a towing frame hitched to a tractor includes an attachment frame adapted to be rigidly connected to the towing frame, a linkage pivotably coupled to the attachment frame, and a row unit frame having a leading end pivotably coupled to the linkage to permit vertical pivoting movement of the row unit frame relative to the attachment frame. A hydraulic cylinder coupled to the attachment frame and the linkage, for urging the row unit frame downwardly toward the soil, includes a movable ram extending into the cylinder, and a hydraulic-fluid cavity within the cylinder for receiving pressurized hydraulic fluid for advancing the ram in a direction that pivots the linkage and the row unit frame downwardly toward the soil. An accumulator positioned adjacent to the hydraulic cylinder has a fluid chamber containing a diaphragm, with the portion of the chamber on one side of the diaphragm being connected to the hydraulic-fluid cavity in the hydraulic cylinder, and the portion of the chamber on the other side of the diaphragm containing a pressurized gas. |

An agricultural implement may include a main frame with a tool frame pivotally coupled thereto. The agricultural implement includes a front row of ground engaging tools having a first plurality of ground engaging tools coupled to the tool frame and a rear row of ground engaging tools having a second plurality of ground engaging tools coupled to the tool frame. The agricultural implement includes a front linkage assembly extending between the main frame and the tool frame. The front linkage assembly is coupled to the tool frame vertically above the front row. The agricultural implement also includes a central linkage assembly extending between the main frame and the tool frame. The central linkage assembly is coupled to a central portion of the tool frame between the front row and the rear row. The front row is configured to pivot upwardly and downwardly relative to the rear row. |

A disc plow having a stump jump capability. The plow includes a frame and at least one trailing arm secured thereto. The trailing arm supports at least one concave disc thereon. In use, the concave disc attached to the trailing arm has a working position in which the concave side of the disc is inclined so as to be open to any approaching soil and, a release position in which the concave side of the disc is directed at right angles to a forward to rearward alignment of the plow. |

A carrier for a row follower is pivoted to the front of an agricultural tractor by a horizontal carrier pivot which is at right angles to the direction of travel of the tractor. This pivot permits the carrier to pivot away from the tractor in the event the tractor is reversed in direction of travel while the row follower is in the operating position. The row follower is connected to an encoder housing. The encoder housing is mounted upon an assembly pivot bolt so that it may be tilted to a carry position which raises to horizontal position, a shank which carries the row follower. The tilting of the encoder is accomplished by a solenoid which is primarily controlled from the cab of the tractor. The row follower shank is biased to be in a position aligned with the direction of travel. Also, the row follower shank is limited by the prongs of a fork to a maximum limited deviation from the alignment with the direction of travel so that it does not swing wildly. |

Soil cultivating apparatus is provided including a cultivating tool for entering into the soil, and control means responsive to the force exerted on said tool by an obstacle encountered by said tool as the tool is drawn through the soil to lift the tool out of the soil. In a preferred embodiment a spring biased latch holds a control arm hinged to a secondary member itself hinged to the main frame of the apparatus, and the soil-cultivating tool extends from the control arm. A ground engaging pad on the control arm levers the tool out of the ground when the tool is released by the latch in response to an excessive force thereon due to the obstacle. |

A tillage implement having a plurality of spaced ground working tools, with safety trip means for each tool allowing the tool to move from a normal ground penetrating position to a position elevated thereabove when an obstruction, such as a rock or a stump, is encountered. Each ground working tool is mounted for free swinging movement between the ground penetrating position and a fully elevated position above the ground, and the tool is positively guided to and from the ground working position, with the guiding means functioning to allow the ground working tool to initially move out of the ground penetrating position without substantial downward movement into the ground, and with the guiding means also functioning to direct the ground working tool back into the ground at the proper angle of reentry. Spring biased latch means releasably retain each of the ground working tools in the operating ground penetrating position.
