In one embodiment, a metering gate extends vertically in its closed position relative to the conveyor, with the metering gate controlling the rate of dispensation of seed or other material being moved to the entry nip. A shield assembly is provided to minimize the effects of wind on the trajectory of seed or other material being propelled to the ground by the brush and conveyor. In preferred forms, a separate seed hopper is mounted to the top dresser, and in a second embodiment, either seed from the seed hopper and/or dressing material from the top dresser hopper may be moved by the conveyor to the entry nip. In other embodiments, a terrain opening element in the form of a spiking roller is provided to puncture the terrain before top dressing and/or seeds are dispensed, and a brush element in the form of a pull brush is provided to move seed and any top dressing supported on grass blades downward in the terrain.
72 Cleaned grass sod apparatus US504428 1995-07-20 US5743043A 1998-04-28 Darin P. Habenicht; Larry R. Link
An apparatus for removing substantially all of the soil from a section of grass sod by soaking the section of sod with water to loosen the soil and to remove an initial portion of the soil, then brushing the root and soil side of the grass sod to brush substantially all of the remaining soil off of the grass sod, and finally rinsing the sod to rinse off any remaining soil. The brush sweeping against the roots of the sod raises the root ends upwardly and scratches the roots, both of which stimulate the roots for improved growth into the recipient soil site.
73 Lawn seeder US500636 1995-07-11 US5632342A 1997-05-27 Bryan N. Knoblich; Joann Valerani-Knoblich
A lawn spreader composed of a cylindrical drum mounted to a user-operable handle assembly. Along the surface of a drum are a plurality of spaced-apart spike arrays with a plurality of aperture arrays interposed therebetween. A door at one end of the drum allows for deposit of granular materials, such as grass seed, within the drum. A paddle array within the drum is rotatable therein so as to open or close selected apertures of the aperture arrays. Upon drum rotation, as urged by the user on the handle assembly, the spikes first indent the earth with the grass seed then falling through the open apertures and into and between the resulting indentations in the earthen surface therebetween. The smooth surface of the drum then tamps the deposited seeds into the earthen surface. The spikes are preferably releasably attached to the cylindrical drum so that various types of spikes can be used.

75 Cultivating apparatus for leveling, cultivating, and resowing lawns or fields US940661 1992-09-04 US5361712A 1994-11-08 Bruce R. Townsend; Derek R. Bird; Norman C. Goldsack
Cultivating apparatus for leveling, cultivating, and resowing lawns or fields. The cultivating apparatus includes: a row of ripping tines arrayed across the front of the apparatus, which are arranged to freely pivot forward and upward in use, to release clogged soil or other material by reversing, when necessary. A levelling plate is provided immediately behind the tines. An adjustment system is provided for an elongated horizontal rack of cultivating discs, by which the rack may be raised and lowered accurately and evenly at both ends, so as to maintain a correct, horizontal orientation. A corresponding adjustment system on an array of outlets from an elongated seedbox allows all the outlets to be opened or closed equally. The apparatus also includes pivotable seed dispensing spouts, a tilted mounting arrangement of the cultivating discs, which allows seed-dispensing spouts to be positioned over the widest part of cuts made by the discs, to drop seeds into the cuts in use, and a transverse roller at the rear of the apparatus behind the discs and seed outlets.
76 Fine material distributor US698107 1991-05-10 US5170948A 1992-12-15 Joseph S. Glick; Glenn A. Musser; David R. Miller, Jr.
A fine material distributing machine having a container adapted to be movable over the ground, a conveyor at least partially housed within the container to be cooperable therewith to move fine material reposed within the container toward a discharge opening in the container, and a brush-type distributing mechanism positioned at the discharge opening to engage material conveyed thereto by the conveyor to effect a discharge thereof from the container to the surface of the ground, is disclosed wherein the brush-type distributing mechanism has resilient bristles which engage a structural member to cause a deflection thereof counter to the direction of rotation of the distributing mechanism as the bristles are engaging material conveyed thereto for enhancing the discharge of material from the container. The machine is also provided with a metering device to control the flow of fine material to the distributing mechanism and a dispersing panel for directing the discharged material into a spread pattern wider than the overall width of the machine. The dispersing panel is pivotally mounted to be selectively engageable with the cylindrical brush to effect a deflection of the bristles and to project upwardly extending dispersal fins into engagement with the rotating brush.
77 Apparatus for renewing green areas and lawns US545133 1983-10-25 US4542705A 1985-09-24 Gunther Orth
An apparatus for producing parallel-walled grooves in green areas and lawns. Slits which form the walls of the groove are produced by means of tools which are arranged at the periphery of a drum, or alternatively, on a rolling wheel body. Each tool comprises a pair of knives which produce the parallel slits or cuts. A cutting edge is provided, which extends between the knives and produces a transverse cut in the region of the groove. The cutting edge can simultaneously serve to eject the earth. Alternatively a clearance tyne, which also serves to lift the earth, can be arranged behind the knives in the direction of running. In accordance with a further embodiment, spring loaded runners are provided which are fixed to the frame of the apparatus and are located between knife carrying discs, i.e. between the grooves that are formed, or in the grooves that are formed, i.e. between the two knife carrying discs of a pair of knife carrying discs. These runners carry capping shares at their rear ends, with the capping shares being respectively aligned with the knife carrying discs of each pair and working in thegroove that is formed. The frame on which the knife carrying discs are journalled is vertically spring loaded relative to the machine frame and the lateral spacing of the knife carrying discs can be adjusted as required. The knife blades have a triangular shape with a steep flank and a shallow flank. The shallow flank forms the leading edge when the apparatus is used on soft ground, whereas the steep flank forms the leading edge when the apparatus is used on hard ground. Seed guide tubes direct the seed into the grooves that are formed and the outlet ends of the seed tubes lie in the direction of travel behind the capping shares. The apparatus can be used to renew green areas and lawns, it is however also possible in this manner to provide harvested stubble fields with between-season fruits without the need to break up the whole field.
