In one aspect, a system for determining field characteristics of a field across which an implement is being moved may include a tine configured to engage a surface of soil within the field. The system may also include a sensor configured to detect a parameter indicative of a load being applied to the ground engaging tine by the soil. Furthermore, the system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor, with the controller being configured to determine a field characteristic of the field based on measurement signals received from the sensor.

A ground-working tool including a shank and a sub-soil point at the bottom end of the shank. The sub-soil point has a leading cutting edge transverse to and in front of the longitudinal axis of the shank, a back portion behind the shank, a top portion from the leading edge to the shank, a bottom portion, and opposite lateral sides. A soil-rolling surface on at least one of the opposite lateral sides of the sub-soil point, each soil-rolling surface being concave in cross-section between top and bottom edges along a front to back length.

The invention relates to a soil-working device having a support frame (11), on which harrow tines (17) are arranged, which are preloaded by means of spring systems (18), the preload being centrally adjustable by means of a hydraulic cylinder (21). The harrow tines (17) are designed as two-armed levers, and the entire adjustment mechanism consisting of hydraulic cylinder (21), transverse bar (22), longitudinal bars (23), levers (19), and spring systems (18) is arranged above the fulcrums of the harrow tines (17). Thus, nearly only the harrow times (17) are located in the space below the fulcrums of the harrow tines (17). In addition, the harrow tines (17) can be not only pressed downward but also raised by means of the adjustment mechanism.

A system for managing material accumulation relative to agricultural implements may include a ground engaging tool supported on an agricultural implement and a field surface characteristic sensor. The field surface characteristic sensor may be configured generate data indicative of a field surface characteristic of an aft portion of the field located rearward of the ground engaging tool relative to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement. The system may further include a controller communicatively coupled to the field surface characteristic sensor. The controller may be configured to monitor the data received from the field surface characteristic sensor and determine a presence of material accumulation relative to the ground engaging tool based at least in part on the field surface characteristic of the aft portion of the field.

A system for monitoring an installation status of shank attachment members of agricultural implements may include a shank assembly. The shank assembly may have a shank and at least one mounting element configured to couple the shank to a portion of an agricultural implement. The system may further include a shank attachment member coupled to the shank and a signal transmission device provided in operative association with the shank attachment member. The system may further include an antenna provided in operative association with the shank assembly, where the antenna is configured to receive wireless signals transmitted by the signal transmission device. Additionally, the system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the antenna and configured to determine an installation status of the shank attachment member based at least in part on the wireless signals received by the antenna.

A modular harrow apparatus for smoothing horse pens includes a vehicle carabiner that attaches to an ATV, a UTV, or a small tractor. Each of a pair of chains has a vehicle end coupled to the vehicle carabiner and a harrow end. A lead harrow bar has a pair of first front eyelets coupled to the pair of chains and a pair of first rear eyelets. A second harrow bar has a pair of second front eyelets. A pair of linkage systems is coupled between the pair of first rear eyelets of the lead harrow bar and the pair of second front eyelets of the second harrow bar. A plurality of tines is coupled to a first bottom face of the lead harrow bar and a second bottom face of the second harrow bar.

The present invention provides a tillage point having a ground engaging structure configured to adjust with respect to the ground so that the tillage point can flexibly adapt to various field conditions. The ground engaging structure can comprise wings for increasing soil fracture below the ground surface and/or a cover board for moving soil along the ground surface. The ground engaging structure can variably adjust using an actuator, such as a hydraulic cylinder, connected to linkage which can move the ground engaging structure through multiple angles about a pivot point during tillage operations. In addition, a controller can adjust the actuator to maintain an angle of the ground engaging structure according to a location on a prescription map.
