VIBRATING SUBSOIL TOOL
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.
Scarifier for deep strip-tillage
Scarifier for deep strip-tillage, that after a single trip allows the soil to be in adequate conditions for planting or sowing, operating with a great energy efficiency, contributing to an improvement in the production environment. The scarifier comprises a plurality of tillage units (a), spaced apart and located parallel to each other, and wherein each tillage unit (a) comprises a support structure (2) on which the corresponding tines (1a, 1b, 1c) are mounted, the lower ends of which are located at different heights, with the depth below the ground (d) being greater toward the rear of the scarifier. The scarifier preferably incorporates a fertilization system.
System and method for controlling the operation of an agricultural implement based on compaction layer position
A system for controlling an operation of an agricultural implement includes a ground-penetrating tool configured to penetrate soil within a field to a penetration depth. Furthermore, the system includes a sensor configured to capture data indicative of a compaction layer within the field as the implement travels across the field. Additionally, the system includes a computing system configured to generate a representation of a portion of the soil within the field based on the data captured by the sensor. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine a position of a bottom surface of the compaction layer based on the generated representation. In addition, the computing system is configured to control the penetration depth of the ground-penetrating tool based on the determined position of the bottom surface of the compaction layer.
