A finishing attachment for a tillage implement has a support arm configured to mount to the frame so that a long dimension of the support arm extends in a fore-aft direction of the implement. A cross-bar having a long dimension extending transverse to the fore-aft direction is coupled to a free end of the support arm. A roller basket is mounted to the cross-bar for rotation with respect to the cross-bar. A pivot bracket couples the free end of the support arm to the cross-bar. The pivot bracket forms a pivot axis extending substantially in the fore-aft direction of travel about which the roller basket pivots. |

The present invention relates to a knife for and a method of zero till or minimum till seeding and fertilizing. The knife is particularly adapted for dry land conditions producing minimum solid disturbance and very shallow operation. The knife has a high penetration angle preferably of 45 degrees which permits the blade to enter high trash surface cover with little tendency to plug due to trash accumulation. The blade has a forward angle of attack, the lower cutting edge advancing before the upper cutting edge, serving to make a clean cut in the soil surface without accumulating trash. Seed and/or fertilizer conduits are attached to or incorporated in the trailing face of the blade in which the outlets may be spaced for controlled placement of the materials. By the method a furrow is cut having a substantial transverse component in an operation with a substantial forward component. A preferred embodiment includes a horizontal extension blade for cutting a horizontal swath at a shallow depth through weed growth. Conduits may be secured to the extension to allow greater separation and control of material placement. The knives may be arranged in overlapping configuration on the draw bar to affect weed cutting, seeding and fertilizing of a complete with of soil in a single pass. |

The farm implement of this invention is movable across ground along a direction of travel for tillage. The farm implement includes at least a frame and a multi-disc unit. The multi-disc unit includes pluralities of first and second discs, each having a ground-engaging outer periphery defining a plane angled acutely relative to the direction of travel. The first discs are angled to an opposite side of the direction of travel than the second discs. Positioned between the plurality of first discs and the plurality of second discs is a flow controller assembly, preferably a coulter assembly, which is rotatable in a forward direction for directing the tilled ground between the first and second discs. |

A ground tillage tool and a sickle bar having reciprocal cutter teeth are mounted to a frame, with the sickle being driven to reciprocate the cutter teeth in a vegetation cutting action forward of the tillage tool. The sickle bar is mounted such that may be cut by the sickle bar and the cut vegetation is engaged and fractured by the ground tillage tool as the implement is moved in a forward direction |

A tillage implement adapted to be towed by a tractor. The tillage implement having on-the-go angle adjustable disc blades which enables the farmer to vary the amount of crop residue left on the surface of the soil. The implement is comprised of a main frame, a ground wheel assembly operably and pivotally connected to the main frame, a first actuator for pivotally raising and lower the ground wheel assembly with respect to the main frame. The tillage implement further comprising a plurality of disc blade assemblies, the disc blade assemblies arranged as a disc gang. The disc gang being pivotally connected to the main frame such that a second actuator can act to raise and lower the disc gang with respect to the main frame. Each of the disc blade assemblies having first and second disc blades rotatably mounted on disc blade axles fixed to first and second interlocking members. Whereby activation of a third actuator operably connected to the main frame and one of the interlocking members of each disc assembly causes rotation the first and second disc blades such that the angular orientation of the disc blades with respect to the direction of travel of the implement is adjustable while on-the-go to vary the amount of crop residue left on the surface of the soil. The main frame of the tillage implement may further support a plurality of deep tillage shanks. Each of the shanks are positioned rearwardly and longitudinally in line with one of the plurality of disc blade assemblies of the disc gang. |

An all electric riding bunker rake primarily suited for maintaining sand traps, or bunkers on a golf course. It is embodied as a tricycle-style vehicle having a frame supported on three wheels, an electrically actuated rake lifting mechanism at the rear of the vehicle supported by the frame, and a removable rake attachment connected to the rake lifting mechanism. The rake is dragged on the sand behind the vehicle to smooth the sand in a bunker. An electric motor drives the rear wheels through a gear box, and a regenerative type braking system works in conjunction with the electric motor to slow the vehicle whenever it exceeds eleven miles per hour when driven, or two miles an hour when unattended. The frame supports an onboard electrical battery power source and a hood to which a seat is attached on which the operator sits to control the operation of the vehicle and the rake lifting and lowering function. The rear wheels have drum brakes actuated by a foot pedal which has a parking brake linkage integral with it. An electrically raised and lowered cultivator is also attached to the vehicle between the front and rear wheels to aid in breaking lumps of sand before the rake smoothes the sand. |

A chisel plow and a cold flow shoe for dispensing ammonia fertilizer into an earthen field are disclosed. The shoe includes a vapor tube for receiving ammonia vapor, and a liquid tube for receiving ammonia liquid from sources which can be mounted upon the plow. The vapor tube defines an orifice for dispensing the received ammonia vapor in a rearward direction into a trench formed by the plow chisel. The liquid tube defines a liquid dispenser orifice located immediately above and to the rear of the vapor dispensing orifice. Liquid ammonia is thus dispensed atop the previously dispensed ammonia vapor as the plow chisel moves through the ground and forms the trench. As earth collapses atop the dispensed ammonia, the ammonia is retained in positions located immediately adjacent growing crop plants, or adjacent those locations where plants will be grown. Effective, efficient ammonia fertilization is thus provided. |

An apparatus is disclosed for injecting fertilizer into the soil. A soil working device includes a sweep with a nose portion that moves through the soil as the sweep is moved forward, a pair of trailing sections that diverge from the nose portion, and an upstanding mounting portion for mounting the sweep to a shank extending from the frame of an agricultural implement. A pair of wings extend rearwardly from the trailing sections of the sweep so as to be at opposite sides of a channel formed by the sweep. Each wing has a front portion that flares outwardly from the trailing section of the sweep and a rear portion that is inclined inwardly from the back of the front portion. Fertilizer is injected into the channel formed by the sweep and soil engaged by the wings is urged toward the channel to cover the same and enhance fertilizer retention in the channel. The apparatus is particularly useful for injecting anhydrous ammonia in liquid form into soil contact with the anhydrous ammonia being maintained under sufficient pressure to remain in a liquid state until brought into soil contact in the channel after which the anhydrous ammonia changes to a gaseous state. |
