SHANK ASSEMBLY FOR AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT WITH IMPROVED TILLAGE POINT RETENTION AND RELATED METHODS
In one aspect, a shank assembly for an agricultural implement may include a shank and a tillage point coupled to a distal end of the shank. The tillage point may include a body having first and second retention walls, with the retention walls being spaced apart such that a retention slot is defined directly between the retention walls. In addition, the first retention wall may define an inner cavity that extends from an inner surface of the first retention wall towards an opposed outer surface of the first retention wall. Moreover, the shank assembly may include a retention collar received within the inner cavity and a retention pin configured to be inserted through aligned openings of the tillage point and the shank, as well as though the retention collar, when the distal end of the shank is received within the retention slot.
Cutting element
Cutting element made of cemented carbide for an agricultural soil cultivation tool for cutting into the earth, which includes a top side and a bottom side, a front side, a back side opposite of the front side, and at least one lateral surface. The top and bottom sides are connected via the front side, back side, and the at least one lateral surface. The front side includes a cutting region having multiple teeth, and at least one tooth is formed with a first flank and a second flank. To achieve an efficient cutting into the earth with a complete cut through the weeds or herbaceous plants present in the earth, a profile line of the first flank and a profile line of the second flank have different lengths. In this manner, weeds are completely severed and killed, whereby use of sprays for killing weeds is reduced to protect the environment.

Field cultivator sweep
The field cultivating sweep includes a body with wings extending from a center line in opposite directions, and a conditioning element extending downwardly from the wing body. The conditioning element may be a blade extending vertically downwardly along the center line of the body and having a leading edge sloped rearedly from front to back. In alternative embodiments, the conditioning element may have a triangular or rectangular shape or may be in the form of a fluted coulter. The conditioning element acts to till the ground vertically and break up compacted soil as the sweep is drawn along the ground.
Agricultural implement with pivotable shanks
An agricultural implement includes a chassis; a frame carried by the chassis; and a shank pivotably mounted to the frame which is pivotable about a pivot axis to switch between an operating position and a folding position, the shank pivoting at least 70 about the pivot axis to switch between the operating position and the folding position.
QUICK-CHANGE HARROW TINE ASSEMBLY
A quick-change harrow tine assembly wherein a first member is selectively and non-rotatably connected to a second member, allowing for replacement of damaged or worn harrow tine segments or tine tips without requiring replacement of the entire coil tine unit.
QUICK-CHANGE HARROW TINE ASSEMBLY
A quick-change harrow tine assembly wherein a first member is selectively and non-rotatably connected to a second member, allowing for replacement of damaged or worn harrow tine segments or tine tips without requiring replacement of the entire coil tine unit.
CULTIVATOR WHICH IS SCREWED ON THE REAR FACE
The invention relates to 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. The cultivator is characterized by reduced wear.

SOIL LOOSENING AND FURROWER ASSEMBLIES AND A BED RENOVATOR THEREFOR
There is provided soil loosening and furrower assemblies and a bed renovator therefor. The soil loosening assembly comprises a blade assembly and wherein the blade assembly is horizontally pitched such that, when drawn beneath a soil surface at a fixed depth, the horizontally pitched blade assembly severs rootstock at the level of the blade assembly while retaining the rootstock substantially in place and loosens soil above the level of the blade assembly without substantial soil inversion. The furrower assembly comprises side plates extending rearwardly from a forward prow edge, wherein the side plates are approximately 25-45? with respect to the horizontal axis; and bottom edges of the side plates are approximately 20-40? with respect to a direction-of-travel axis.
