Cutting element made of cemented carbide for an agricultural soil cultivation tool for cutting into the earth, which includes a top side and a bottom side, a front side, a back side opposite of the front side, and at least one lateral surface. The top and bottom sides are connected via the front side, back side, and the at least one lateral surface. The front side includes a cutting region having multiple teeth, and at least one tooth is formed with a first flank and a second flank. To achieve an efficient cutting into the earth with a complete cut through the weeds or herbaceous plants present in the earth, a profile line of the first flank and a profile line of the second flank have different lengths. In this manner, weeds are completely severed and killed, whereby use of sprays for killing weeds is reduced to protect the environment.

The invention relates to a cultivator for an agricultural soil processing machine, which includes a base part which has a cutting element on a cutter support. The base part has at least one screw receiving area for securing to a support, in particular a tine of the agricultural soil processing machine. The screw receiving area is designed as a blind hole with an inner thread and is recessed into a cultivator support surface aligned opposite the tool advancing direction of the cultivator, or the screw receiving area is designed as a through-bore with an inner thread and is covered by at least one wear protection element in the tool advancing direction. The cultivator is characterized by reduced wear.

There is provided soil loosening and furrower assemblies and a bed renovator therefor. The soil loosening assembly comprises a blade assembly and wherein the blade assembly is horizontally pitched such that, when drawn beneath a soil surface at a fixed depth, the horizontally pitched blade assembly severs rootstock at the level of the blade assembly while retaining the rootstock substantially in place and loosens soil above the level of the blade assembly without substantial soil inversion. The furrower assembly comprises side plates extending rearwardly from a forward prow edge, wherein the side plates are approximately 25-45? with respect to the horizontal axis; and bottom edges of the side plates are approximately 20-40? with respect to a direction-of-travel axis.

A subsoil tool for ameliorating soil compaction having a shank attached to a toolbar of a tractor, wings on forward wing links pivotally engaged to the shank, and following wings on a wing rod pivotally engaged with the forward wing link. The forward wing links are positioned near the bottom of the shank in front of the rear of the shank. The wing rod is positioned behind the shank. A drive box having a hydraulic cylinder is engaged to the toolbar and pivotally engaged with the wing rod. In use, a portion of the subsoil tool may be inserted below a surface of the soil, the height of the subsoil tool may be adjusted, the subsoil tool may be rotated, and the hydraulic cylinder may be cycled to move the forward wings and following wings.

A process and tool for monitoring the status, health, and performance of wear parts used on earth working equipment. The process and tool allow the operator to optimize the performance of the earth working equipment. The tool has a clear line of site to the wear parts during use and may be integrated with a bucket or blade on the earth working equipment.

A wearing-point device (22) with a quick-coupling formed from a coupling portion (211) of a wearing-part holder (21) and corresponding attachment portions (223) of the wearing point (22), in which a longitudinal elevation (224) extends with a desired height from a front portion (221) towards the attachment portion (223), sliding surfaces (222, 222) extending in a downward-sloping manner from the longitudinal center plane of the wearing point (22) in the directions of opposite side edges (228) of the wearing point (22) and forming a downward-sloping rear edge (227) that forms an interface towards the attachment portions (223).
