An apparatus for grooming a sports field is provided. The apparatus includes a broom assembly. The broom assembly may include a broom head having a top surface and an opposite bottom surface, a plurality of bristles extending outwardly from the bottom surface of the broom head, a plate secured to the top surface of the broom head and extending longitudinally along the top surface of the broom head, and a stiffener secured to the plate and extending longitudinally along the top surface of the broom head. The apparatus may further include a first connection assembly extending forwardly from the plate and a second connection assembly parallel with and spaced apart from the first arm and extending forwardly from the plate. The broom assembly may have an operative position wherein bristles of the broom assembly engage the ground and a stowed position wherein the broom assembly is positioned above the ground and locked in place such that the broom assembly does not engage the ground.

An agricultural row cleaner having: a frame; a first row cleaner wheel disposed on a first side of the frame; a second row cleaner wheel disposed on a second side of the frame; and a third wheel attached to the frame and having a leading edge disposed forward of the first row cleaner wheel and the second row cleaner wheel along a direction of travel.

The invention relates to a soil-working device (1) for the agricultural preparation of earth, in particular for the planar cutting of earth, comprising a main body (2) and cutting elements (3) arranged on the latter, the main body (2) having a carrier face (7) and a sliding face (6), cutting elements (3) being arranged on the carrier face (7), and earth being able to slide off over the sliding face (6). According to the invention, to avoid smearing over a soil when working same, the sliding face (6) adjoins the carrier face (7) at an angle so that the distance of the sliding face from the earth increases away from the carrier face (7).

The invention relates to a cutting element (1) made of cemented carbide for an agricultural soil cultivation tool for cutting into the earth, comprising a top side (2) and a bottom side as well as a front side (3), a back side (4) opposite of the front side (3), and at least one lateral surface (5), wherein the top side (2) and bottom side are connected via the front side (3), back side (4), and the at least one lateral surface (5) and the front side (3) comprises a cutting region having multiple teeth, wherein at least one tooth is formed with a first flank (6) and a second flank (7). To achieve an efficient cutting into the earth with a complete cut through the weeds or herbaceous plants present in the earth, it is provided according to the invention that a profile line of the first flank (6) and a profile line of the second flank (7) have different lengths. In this manner, the weeds can be completely severed and thus killed, whereby a use of sprays for killing weeds is reduced and the environment can be protected to a considerable degree.

In one aspect, a system for monitoring the frame levelness of an agricultural implement include first and second sensors configured to capture data indicative of a position differential defined between a soil surface and a portion of an a first and second ground engaging tool positioned below the soil surface, respectively. The captured data may be associated at least partially with the receipt of sensor signals reflected off of the portion of the associated ground engaging tool positioned below the soil surface. The system may also include a controller configured to determine penetration depths of the first and second ground engaging tools based on the captured data received from the first and second sensors, respectively. The controller may also be configured to monitor the frame levelness based on a penetration depth differential defined between the first and second penetration depths.

The field cultivating sweep includes a body with wings extending from a center line in opposite directions, and a conditioning element extending downwardly from the wing body. The conditioning element may be a blade extending vertically downwardly along the center line of the body and having a leading edge sloped rearedly from front to back. In alternative embodiments, the conditioning element may have a triangular or rectangular shape or may be in the form of a fluted coulter. The conditioning element acts to till the ground vertically and break up compacted soil as the sweep is drawn along the ground.

A chisel sowing coulter, for direct and/or mulch sowing, includes: a coulter body, a tear-open chisel fastened by a fastening device, and coulter blades laterally projecting from the tear-open chisel and provided with a front cutting edge, which are arranged in order to create a sowing furrow in the ground. In order to change the penetration depth of the sowing coulter into the ground, the coulter blades are adjustable about a horizontal axis that extends transversely to the direction of travel, and that is fixable in different positions by way of an adjustment device arranged between the tear-open chisel and the coulter body.
