In one aspect, a system for detecting ground engaging tool float for an agricultural implement may include an implement having a ground engaging tool pivotally coupled to a frame and a biasing element coupled between the frame and the ground engaging tool. The biasing element may be configured to bias the ground engaging tool to a predetermined ground engaging tool position relative to the frame. The system may also include a sensor configured to detect a parameter indicative of a current position of the ground engaging tool relative to the frame. Additionally, the system may include a controller configured to monitor the current position of the ground engaging tool based on measurement signals received from the sensor and identify a time period across which the ground engaging tool is displaced from the predetermined ground engaging tool position. The controller may be further configured to compare the identified time period to a threshold time period to determine when a ground engaging tool float event is occurring during operation of the implement.

In one aspect, a system for monitoring soil conditions within a field may include an implement configured to be traversed across a field. The implement may further include a plurality of ground engaging tools pivotally coupled to the frame and a plurality of sensors. Each sensor may be configured to detect a parameter indicative of a current position of one of the plurality of ground engaging tools. Additionally, the system may include a controller configured to monitor a displacement of each ground engaging tool and determine a current global ground engaging tool displacement parameter for the implement based on the monitored displacements of the plurality of ground engaging tools. Additionally, the controller may be configured to identify a soil condition for a swath of the field being traversed by the implement based on a comparison between the current global ground engaging tool displacement parameter and a predetermined global displacement threshold.

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.

A roller ring (8) for a roller (3,4) of a soil-tillage apparatus (1) comprises two rotationally symmetrical body halves (9) arranged opposite one another. Each body half (9) has a flange-shaped profile portion (10) extending in the radial direction (R), against which the body halves (9) abut over the entire surface. At least one profile portion (10) is divided into an inner contact portion (12) as well as an adjoining outer edge portion (13). The body halves (9) are at least partially connected by means of a substance-to-substance bond (15) radially on the inner side of the contact portion (12).

A stalk puller to be used with or without a mower/shredder utilizes a pair of independently mounted discs converging along their lower edge to grasp and pull stalks from the ground as the stalk puller is moved down the row by a prime mover. At least one of the discs is urged against the other by a spring such that the associated disc may allow rocks and debris to pass between the discs without damage. The spring mounting reduces adjustments due to normal wear as well as damage from debris.

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.

An aerator device. The aerator device includes a manifold including an interior channel, a connector aperture, and a plurality of nozzles configured to discharge a pressurized fluid stream. A cover plate is disposed on an upper side of the manifold. A first connector includes a first open end in fluid communication with the interior channel and a second end extending through a connector aperture disposed on an upper side of the cover plate. A second connector is configured to receive a hose connection to a pressurized fluid supply. A wheel including a wheel height adjustment mechanism is affixed to each side portion of the cover plate. In one embodiment, the manifold is configured to rotate when the wheels of the device rotate via a drive roller. A handle extending rearwardly from the cover plate includes a trigger mechanism configured to activate the flow of fluid from a pressurized fluid source.

An agricultural tillage implement includes a frame member and at least one double rolling basket assembly coupled to the frame member. The double rolling basket assembly has a forward basket and a rearward basket behind the forward basket. A horizontal beam is rotatably connected at the opposite ends thereof to the forward basket and the rearward basket. The horizontal beam has a pivotal connection to the frame member.

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.
