An agricultural implement comprising: a ground engaging tool; and an actuator mechanism (366; 466; 566). The actuator mechanism is configured to provide a bias force to the ground engaging tool such that it is biased towards a working position. The agricultural implement also includes a controller that is configured to automatically set the level of the bias force that is provided by the actuator mechanism based on control-data.

An agricultural system comprising a plough. The plough comprising: a plough body; a stone-trip-mechanism that is configured to be tripped when the plough body encounters a stone or other obstruction; and a trip-sensor configured to provide trip-data in response to the stone-trip-mechanism being tripped. The agricultural system also includes a location-determining-system associated with the plough, wherein the location-determining-system is configured to provide location-data that is representative of a location of the plough; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive the trip-data; and store location-data provided by the location-determining-system as a trip-location based on the trip-data, wherein the trip-location is a location of the plough at the time that the stone-trip-mechanism is tripped.

A tillage point configured to produce a uniform subsurface soil profile. The tillage point includes a main body having a leading edge, a top surface and a bottom surface. Wing sections extend laterally from the main body.

In one aspect, a system for monitoring soil composition within a field may include a non-rotating ground-engaging tool configured to be pulled through soil within the field in a manner that performs an agricultural operation on the field. The non-rotating ground-engaging tool may, in turn, define a cavity therein, with the cavity including an opening. Furthermore, the system may include a sensor positioned within the cavity, with the sensor configured emit an output signal through the opening for reflection off of the soil within the field. The sensor may also be configured to detect the reflected output signal as a return signal, with a parameter of the return signal being indicative of a soil composition of the soil within the field.

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.

A seeding boot for a seeding apparatus mountable adjacent a soil-opening disc of a tillage implement. The seeding boot including: a boot body mountable at, or adjacent, a lower portion of the soil-opening disc; a seed distributor on the boot body, the seed distributor having at least one seed outlet spaced laterally from the soil-opening disc; a seed inlet, connectable to a source of seeds to be planted, for the seed distributor; and at least one fertiliser distributor, the at least one fertiliser distributor having at least one fertiliser outlet located rearwardly of the soil-opening disc, and downstream of the at least one seed outlet. The seed distributor has a substantially hollow distributor body connected to the seed inlet, and a pair of substantially hollow wings extend substantially laterally from the distributor body and are each provided with a respective one of the at least one seed outlets.
