A ditch forming implement, for use with a working vehicle, has a frame for towing connection to the working vehicle and which supports a rotatable impeller member thereon for spreading soil in a laterally outward direction relative to a forward path of the implement. A driven pulley wheel is fixed to a rear of the impeller member for rotation together relative to the frame. A drive shaft assembly operatively transfers rotational drive from a power take-off of the working vehicle to a driven pulley wheel on the frame, to be subsequently transferred to the driven pulley wheel by a drive belt connected between the driven and drive pulley wheels.

A sand trap rake system for golf cart that includes: a rake with a transmitter in the rake and a receiver in a rake bracket on a golf cart, where the rake bracket is adapted to store the rake. A RF signal transmits between the transmitter and the receiver with an alert on the golf cart, where the alert emits an signal upon when the RF signal strength diminishes to a predetermine strength. The RF signal strength accordingly correlates to a distance between the transmitter and the receiver. Preferably, the rake head is foldable and the rake bracket includes a rake receptacle to store the rake.

Method for operating an agricultural harvesting machine (1), wherein the agricultural harvesting machine (1) has a working assembly (2) in which a foreign body sensor (19) is installed, wherein a measurement signal provided by the foreign body sensor (19) is evaluated with the aid of a signal analysis in such a manner that the signal analysis is taken as a basis for determining at least one component of the working assembly (2) which has a fault which triggers, in the measurement signal, a signal component which incorrectly causes the presence of a foreign body to be detected.

The stalk cutter device and method of use thereof obtains a desired length of plant stalk, particularly a cornstalk, from a desired distance from the ground. The stalk cutter device includes a pair of handles pivotally connected to a pair of pruning type of cutters. A support rod is mounted through the pivot connections of the cutters and extends laterally a desired distance from the lower cutter to support the device at the desired height to cut the desired portion of the stalk.

A swivel connector includes: an inner body having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the inner body defining an inner port at the second end for receiving a first fluid connection; and an outer body captively rotatable about the inner body, the outer body defining an outer port for receiving a second fluid connection, the inner body and the outer body cooperatively defining an annular passage therebetween, and the inner port extending within the inner body to the annular passage and the outer port extending within the outer body to the annular passage so as to form a passageway operable to permit a flow of fluid between the inner port and the outer port. The swivel connector of the present invention permits a first connected hose to swivel about a first axis that is perpendicular to a second axis with a second connected hose.

A small hand-held tool has a concavely open, center-symmetric, cutting edge at a forward end. To cut an elongate object such as a woody weed stem in a garden, the cutting edge is forcibly applied, preferably horizontally, at about or just below ground level in a forward direction simultaneously with an alternating side-to-side horizontal force to turn the tool and the cutting edge in a to-and-fro motion around the elongate object being cut. Forwardly inclined, center-symmetrically disposed saw teeth on the cutting edge will quickly cut the woody stem below ground so that no stubs are left sticking out of the ground to later trip the unwary. If the tool is fitted instead with a cutting blade provided with, for example, tungsten carbide-tipped teeth, or even a toothless edge coated with a layer of tungsten carbide grit, a patient user could apply the thus adapted tool to cleanly cut through much harder objects like steel bars or pipes, e.g., right where they are projecting from a wall or a concrete floor.
