A trailing arm assembly includes a frame bracket, a first frame, a parallel linkage, an adjustable biasing member, and a second frame. The frame bracket can include a first connection portion and a second connection portion. The parallel linkage pivotably connects the frame bracket and the first frame via a first pivot and a second pivot on the second connection portion of the frame bracket and a third pivot and a fourth pivot on the first frame. The adjustable biasing member pivotably connects to the frame bracket at a first end and pivotably connected to the parallel linkage at a second end, wherein the adjustable biasing member is configured to provide a downward force on the first frame. The second frame is connected to the first frame via a second parallel linkage.

An apparatus for use in a rolling basket of a tillage implement, the rolling basket comprising a plurality of elongated bars or blades spaced apart around a plurality of spaced apart rings, the bars or blades attached to the spaced apart rings, the apparatus includes an elongated support structure extending through a central axis of the rolling basket and a plurality of vertical stationary paddles spaced apart along the elongated support structure between the horizontally spaced apart rings.

An agricultural tillage implement includes a frame member, a secondary frame member and at least one double rolling basket assembly coupled to the secondary frame member. A plurality of linkage assemblies interconnect the frame member and the secondary frame member. Each linkage assembly includes an upper link connected to upper connections of the frame member and the secondary frame member and a lower link connected to lower connections of the frame member and the secondary frame member. A force applicator operates against one of the links to move the baskets up and down.

A wheel for working the fields comprises a wheel body comprising a pair of flanges and a spacer, and a tire cover, generally annular, comprising two side walls, a tread connecting the side walls to one another and an opening opposite to the tread. The tire cover is mounted on the wheel body in such a way that the spacer is positioned across its opening. The flanges are arranged in such a way as to block the side walls of the tire cover against the spacer in the vicinity of the opening.

A vertical tilling implement to be pulled behind and agricultural vehicle having a number of gangs of fluted-concave disc blades, rolling baskets, and wheels connected to a main frame. As the vertical tilling implement is pulled, the fluted-concave disc blades move the soil in a direction lateral to the side of the blades as well as up. Meanwhile, the rolling bars aid in leveling the seedbed and crushing the remaining large pieces of soil. The vertical tilling implement reduces the amount of subsoil compaction and cuts through heavy residue making it ideal for use in the fall or in the spring.

An agricultural device associated with reduced tillage techniques in a field includes a frame and a separator supported by the frame. The separator is configured to form a strip of exposed soil in residual plant matter in the field. A crimping device associated with the separator is configured to at least partially crush stems of residual plant matter while maintaining the strip.

An earth working roller comprises a support structure (11), wherein to form a roller body (36) rotatable about a roller axis of rotation (A) on a radially outer region of the support structure (11), a plurality of first earth working units (30) is provided extending substantially in the direction of the roller axis of rotation (A) and/or a plurality of second earth working units (38) is provided extending substantially in the circumferential direction.

A finishing attachment for a tillage implement has a support arm configured to mount to the frame so that a long dimension of the support arm extends in a fore-aft direction of the implement. A cross-bar having a long dimension extending transverse to the fore-aft direction is coupled to a free end of the support arm. A roller basket is mounted to the cross-bar for rotation with respect to the cross-bar. A pivot bracket couples the free end of the support arm to the cross-bar. The pivot bracket forms a pivot axis extending substantially in the fore-aft direction of travel about which the roller basket pivots.
