Disc assembly for an agricultural implement

A disc assembly for an agricultural implement includes a mounting assembly having a housing and a rotatable shaft configured to be disposed within the housing. The mounting assembly includes a first end cap non-movably coupled to the rotatable shaft, in which the first end cap is configured to engage a longitudinally inward surface of a first disc blade. The mounting assembly also includes a second end cap having a first engagement feature configured to selectively engage a second engagement feature of the rotatable shaft to non-movably couple the second end cap to the rotatable shaft. The second end cap is configured to engage a longitudinally inward surface of a second disc blade, and the second end cap is selectively removable from the rotatable shaft via disengagement of the first and second engagement features to facilitate engagement and disengagement of the rotatable shaft with the longitudinal passage of the housing.

Turning Plowing Device
20240099171 · 2024-03-28 ·

A turning plowing device 1 with blade-like cutting elements 3 situated on both sides of a plow beam 2 is provided, in which at least one first cutting element 4 on one side, having a hollow disc-like design, is provided. This first cutting element 4 is swivelably arranged, and may be swiveled from a first position on a first side of the plow beam 2 into a second position. In the first position, the second cutting element 3 is associated with a respective first cutting element 4 in such a way that a complete module made up of these two cutting elements is formed. A row of second cutting elements 3 formed at the plow beam 2 represents semi-modules, which likewise form a complete module only after the respective first cutting elements 4 swivel into the corresponding working position. Plowing takes place only using a formed complete module. For this purpose, after the plowing of a furrow in the first direction, the plow and the first cutting element 4 having a hollow disc-like design are turned in such a way that during back-plowing in a plowing direction 5 opposite the previous direction, plowing may be carried out with identical angles. For this purpose, after the swivel arm 6 together with the first cutting element 4 is swiveled with respect to the cutting element 3 and the turning plowing device is turned by 180?, the plow rotates in a manner of speaking, so that an identical plow pattern may be created in the opposite direction.
