A tillage implement includes a main frame with adjustable toolbar sections thereon which each support respective tillage units thereon for engaging the ground. Each toolbar section has a first end portion coupled to the main frame by a first mounting assembly and an opposing second end portion which is coupled to the main frame by a second mounting assembly. Each one of the first and second mounting assemblies comprises a track and each of the first and second end portions of each toolbar section comprise a follower in mating engagement with the corresponding tracks. The track of the first mounting assembly is oriented closer to the lateral direction than the track of the second mounting assembly such that each toolbar section is pivotal about a respective upright axis generally at the first end portion when the toolbar section is displaced in the forward working direction at the second end portion.

A unit (UO) for the processing ground (T), comprises at least a first group (G1, D3) for supporting rotating cutting disk means (D) adapted to realize grooves (S) in said ground (T); at least a second group (G2) for supporting plowshare means (V, E) adapted to realize, in correspondence of said grooves (S), cuts (Z) below the surface of said ground (T); and mechanical coupling means (M2) for dynamically connecting said second group (G2) to said first group (G1, D3).

A system for monitoring the levelness of a multi-wing agricultural implement may include a central frame section, a wing section pivotably coupled to the central frame section and a field contour sensor configured to generate data indicative of a contour of an aft portion of the field located rearward of the implement relative to a direction of travel of the implement. The system may further include a controller communicatively coupled to the field contour sensor. The controller may be configured to monitor the data received from the field contour sensor and assess a levelness of the implement based at least in part on the contour of the aft portion of the field.

A system for detecting material accumulation relative to disk gang assemblies of an agricultural implement includes an implement frame and a disk gang assembly supported relative to the implement frame. The disk gang assembly includes a toolbar coupled to the implement frame and a plurality of disks supported by the toolbar. The system also includes a load sensor configured to provide data indicative of an applied load through the disk gang assembly, and a computing system communicatively coupled to the load sensor. The computing system is configured to monitor the load applied through the disk gang assembly based on the data provided by the load sensor, compare the monitored load to a load threshold selected for the disk gang assembly, and determine that the disk gang assembly is in a plugged state when the monitored load differs from the load threshold.

An agricultural implement has a closing disk assembly for closing furrows along a section of ground. The closing disk assembly has a pair of closing disks attached to opposite sides and opposite ends of a walking beam. The closing disks are offset from a reference plane of the closing disk assembly. The walking beam is rotatably coupled to the closing disk assembly through a rocker assembly, a support arm, and a mounting assembly. The walking beam may rotate relative to the rocker assembly to account for variations in the angle of the ground relative to the disks.

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.

A tillage implement has a frame with a center section and first and second outer wing sections hingedly attached the center section such that the wing sections can be operably raised and lowered between a field-working position and a transport position. The sections each carry tillage tools for working the soil. Controlling a precharge in a secondary side of a hydraulic circuit enables the operator of the implement to adjust the downward pressure precharge provided by a plurality of hydraulic cylinders based on a desired stiffness of the implement. A pressure-reducing valve is configured such that flow from the hydraulic supply applies downward pressure precharge on the plurality of tillage tools. Once this desired precharge has been achieved, flow from the hydraulic supply is shut off and a check valve holds the pressure such that the plurality of hydraulic cylinders holds the tillage tools in position.

The present application relates to a soil tillage implement (10) having soil tillage tools (28), in particular disc tools, which are arranged in multiple tool rows (30.1 . . . 30.3) following one another in the working direction (A) and which are oriented transversely to the working direction (A), and having a running gear with at least one main wheel (20.1, 20.2), which is spaced apart from a centre longitudinal axis (22) transversely to the working direction (A) by a lateral wheel distance (dr). Here, the running gear is arranged with respect to the soil tillage tools (28) in such a manner that with respect to the working direction (A) in front of and to the left and right of the running gear at least one soil tillage tool (28) is arranged. All soil tillage tools (28) which are arranged in the tool row (30.1) located furthest in front of the running gear in the working direction (A) have a lateral tool distance (dw) from the centre longitudinal axis (28) that is smaller than or equal to the lateral wheel distance (dr).
