SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING OR PREVENTING PLUGGING OF AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT
20250017122 · 2025-01-16 ·

A system for reducing or preventing plugging of an agricultural implement includes a disk blade configured to rotate relative to soil within a field as the agricultural implement travels across the field. Furthermore, the system includes an electrode embedded within the disk blade. Additionally, the system includes a sensor configured to generate data indicative of a soil moisture content of a portion of the field and a computing system communicatively coupled to the sensor. As such, the computing system is configured to determine the soil moisture content of the field based on the data generated by the sensor. Moreover, the computing system is configured to control a flow of electricity at least one of to or from the electrode based on the determined soil moisture content such that an electric field is induced on at least a portion of a surface of the disk blade.

Vertical tillage scraper
09801321 · 2017-10-31 · ·

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.

Seed boot mounting

An apparatus includes a hinge mount top plate, a hinge mount bottom plate, and a pin connecting the top plate and bottom plate. A cam adjuster element includes a top aperture, a middle aperture, and a bottom aperture. A first fastener passes through the top aperture to connect the cam adjuster element to the hinge mount top plate. The first fastener may be disposed in different positions in the top aperture. A second fastener passes through the middle aperture to connect the cam adjuster element to the hinge mount top plate. The cam adjuster element may pivot about a longitudinal axis of the second fastener. The pin is retained in the bottom aperture. An assembly includes a disc, a seed boot, and a mounting mechanism that allows for movement between the seed boot and the disc about first pivot axis and second pivot axis.

Scraper with wings for disc furrow opener
09655297 · 2017-05-23 ·

A scraper body adapted to be attached to a furrow opener assembly with a disc rotatably mounted on an arm and oriented at a horizontal angle to create a disc furrow. The scraper body has an attachment body portion adapted to be attached to the furrow opener assembly such that a forward scraping edge of the scraper body scrapes soil from the disc face. A wing member extends from a lower rear portion of the scraper body, and has a top wing member edge oriented in alignment with the disc furrow and with the operating travel direction. Right and left wings extending downward and outward from the top wing member edge to bottom wing edges located above a bottom edge of the disc such that in operation the wings push soil to corresponding right and left sides of the disc furrow to create right and left wing furrows.
