An agricultural tillage implement has a disk frame assembly connected to a pull hitch extending in a travel direction with frame members extending generally laterally with respect to the travel direction. At least one disk blade is connected to and supported by the frame members to till soil over which the agricultural tillage implement traverses. A disk scraper mounting member is connected to at least one frame member. A channel shaped disk scraper is connected to the disk scraper mounting member using a bolted joint connection. The channel shaped disk scraper has a square mounting end adjoining an inner perpendicular surface of the disk scraper mounting member. The channel shaped disk scraper is operable to scrape residue from the at least one disk blade and deflect it away from the travel direction.

A unique scraper assembly for the disc of a furrow opener features an obstruction carried at inner side of the scraper body in a position trailing behind the leading scraper edge to prevent straw from accumulating in the space between the disc and scraper near the leading scraper edge, to block seed or other product delivered into the furrow from skipping forward into this space, to reduce wear on the leading scraper edge by increasing an area of pressured contact with the disc during side loading of the scraper, and/or provide lubricated contact with the disc to reduce rotational resistance during side loading. In some embodiments, the obstruction is defined by a separate insert of distinct material composition from the scraper. A discrete wing member is welded to the scraper at a pre-determined position thereon determined by fitting of the wing member into a mating slot in the scraper.

A ground engaging agricultural blade, coulter, or disc having a central opening adapted to be attached to an implement for rotation about a substantially horizontal axis of rotation; the coulter or disc have an outer periphery; and plurality of step plane notches disposed in the outer periphery. The blade can be used with a hub disposed around the central opening or a spacer spool on a shaft extending through the central openings of adjacent blades, the spacer spools extending radially outwardly by a distance.

A coulter disc mounting assembly for a tillage implement supports a coulter disc thereon to be angularly offset from the forward working direction of the implement. The tillage implement typically includes a frame supporting a plurality of tool shanks thereon, each having a mounting surface adapted for mounting a respective shovel opener thereon in which the mounting surface has a width which is substantially perpendicular to the forward working direction. The disc mounting assembly has a hub with a mounting surface for fastening against the mounting surface of one of the tool shanks in which the hub supports a coulter disc thereon such that the coulter axis is oriented non-perpendicularly to the forward working direction.

An agricultural tillage implement including a frame having a hitch extending in a travel direction, at least one gauge wheel coupled to the frame, at least one first actuator coupled to the at least one gauge wheel and configured to adjust a position of the at least one gauge wheel and thereby a control depth, a second actuator coupled to the hitch and configured to adjust a down force, and a pressure control system. The pressure control system includes a first sensor coupled to the at least one gauge wheel and a second sensor coupled to the second actuator. The pressure control system also includes a controller in communication with the first and second sensors and configured to automatically adjust the at least one first actuator and the second actuator.

A disk such as but not limited to a seed opener disk is provided along with a seed opener assembly for a planter, that comprises a hard face coating along the beveled surface region. The hard face coating is preferably a laser cladding that forms a metallurgical bond with the underlying steel base material.

A tillage element of a tillage tool, comprising a first member being a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially extending finger elements, the tillage element further comprising a second member being a means for securing the first member to an elongate member, such that the circumferentially spaced radially extending finger elements are secured in relation to and around the elongate member.
