A cultivator for cultivating a field can have a frame with a tow assembly so that the cultivator can be towed by a tractor. A cultivating assembly can be provided pivotally attached to the rear of the frame. The cultivating assembly can have a plurality of discs that engage and penetrate the soil beneath the cultivating assembly. The cultivating assembly can have a center section pivotally connected at the to the rear end of the frame, a first wing section pivotally connected to one side of the center section, a second wing pivotally connected the other side of center section where all the sections have discs connected to them. A pair of ground wheels can be provided connected to the center section so that the ground wheels are positioned in front of the cultivating assembly when it is being used to cultivate a field.

A tillage implement has a main frame towed in a forward working direction and toolbar assemblies supported on the main frame. Each assembly has an elongate toolbar member transverse to the forward working direction with tillage units spaced along the toolbar member for working the ground. A pivot supports each toolbar at an intermediate location on the toolbar for angular adjustment about an upright axis relative to the main frame. Followers at opposing ends of each toolbar member are received in respective guides at fixed locations on the main frame such that the followers are slidable within the guides in the forward working direction while restricting rotation of the toolbar member about a longitudinal axis of the toolbar member relative to the main frame. Angular position of each toolbar is controlled by an actuator with an attached mechanical indicator that can be read by an operator.

A harrow device for the conditioning and leveling of sowing soils in a single step, and a disc for the harrow, which allows these processes to be carried out in the proper way, guaranteeing a better quality of subsequent sowing, and also preventing premature wear of parts, jamming of materials, and/or emergency stops, and which, in turn, is constituted and built in a simple way, in order to reduce costs and facilitate both its realization and its replacement.

A method of operating an implement carrying tillage elements in an agricultural field includes traversing the field with the implement while the tillage elements engage soil of the field, detecting a tillage event based on an operating parameter, recording a location of the tillage event with at least one computer, stopping the implement within the field in response to the tillage event, and generating a first representation of the tillage elements engaged with the soil. The first representation is generated with information from at least one sensor. The tillage elements are lifted to disengage the tillage elements from the soil, and a second representation of the tillage elements disengaged from the soil is generated. The implement is backed rearward through the field with the tillage elements disengaged from the soil, and a third representation of a portion of the soil worked by the tillage elements is generated.

An attachment with cutting discs for use with a prime mover to cut ground material comprises a frame with forward and rear ends, a mounting portion at the rear end which is configured for coupling to a pivotal mounting member of the prime mover which is carried at forward ends of pivotal arms of the prime mover that can be raised or lowered, and a cutting portion at the forward end of the frame comprising a single transversely extending row of cutting discs arranged to cut the ground material in a forward working direction of movement of the prime mover. The single row of cutting discs is spaced from the mounting portion at a prescribed distance of about 4.5-5.5 feet such that cantilever action of the row of discs about the mounting member provides effective cutting action. The attachment includes shields covering the cutting discs.
