In one aspect, a system for regulating the flow of fluid supplied to actuators of an agricultural implement may include a tool and a fluid-driven actuator configured to actuate the tool relative to a surface. The system may also include a pump configured to supply fluid to the fluid-driven actuator and a valve configured to control a flow of the fluid supplied to the fluid-driven actuator. Furthermore, the system may include a first sensor configured to detect a parameter indicative of a first pressure upstream of the valve and a second sensor configured to detect a parameter indicative of a second pressure downstream of the valve. Additionally, the system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the first and second sensors, with the controller configured to determine a pressure differential across the valve based on measurement signals received from the first and second sensors.

A rolling basket assembly for an agricultural tillage implement. The rolling basket assembly includes a bracket, a first disk and a second disk rotatably connected to the bracket, a plurality of chain assemblies. Each chain assembly includes a first end connected to the first disk and a second end connected to the second disk and a plurality of links looped around one another and collectively forming each chain assembly. Each link includes a first loop, a second loop that is looped around the first loop, and at least one projection extending outwardly from one of the first loop and the second loop.

An agricultural implement includes a frame and a basket assembly supported on the frame. The basket assembly, in turn, includes including a plurality of circumferentially arranged blades such that the basket assembly is configured to roll relative to a surface of a field as the agricultural implement travels across the field. Furthermore, the plurality of circumferentially arranged blades define a plurality of voids and at least partially defining an interior cavity within the basket assembly, with each void being defined between an adjacent pair of the plurality of circumferentially arranged blades. Additionally, the agricultural implement includes a bladder positioned within the interior cavity, with the bladder configured to be inflated and deflated such that the bladder expands and contracts relative to the plurality of circumferentially arranged blades to force field materials present within the interior cavity outward through the plurality of voids.

An implement for tilling the soil and methods of using the same. The implement may include cultivator sweeps arranged in staggered rows, trailing coulters positioned behind a rearmost row of the cultivator sweeps, and a finishing attachment positioned proximate the trailing coulters. The trailing coulters are designed to penetrate deeper into the soil than the cultivator sweeps. The method includes passing such an implement through the soil such that the trailing coulters pass through the soil after the sweeps and the finishing attachment passes over and/or through the soil.

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 sterns of residual plant matter while maintaining the strip.

An agricultural implement having a rolling basket which includes a plurality of elongated members arranged in a substantially cylindrical shape. A stationary internal scraper is disposed in the inner chamber of the rolling basket and is adapted for breaking up a material from the inner chamber as the rolling basket is rotated around the major axis of rotation of the rolling basket. The internal scraper extends in an upward direction with respect to the major axis of rotation of the rolling basket with the upper edge of the internal scraper distally spaced away from and above the major axis of rotation of the rolling basket and with the lower edge of the internal scraper distally spaced away from and above the major axis of rotation of the rolling basket. The upper edge of the internal scraper is positioned above the lower edge.

In one aspect, a finishing assembly for an agricultural implement may include first and second rolling baskets, a basket support assembly configured to support the first and second rolling baskets relative to each other, a linkage pivotably coupled to the basket support assembly at a pivot point, and at least one damping element. The at least one damping element may be configured to damp pivoting of the basket support assembly about the pivot point in both a first pivot direction and a second pivot direction, the second pivot direction being opposite the first pivot direction.

An agricultural tool element includes a non-inflated tire with a tread and a pair of sidewalls each connected to the tread at a respective first end portion. The element additionally includes a rigid, generally annular base on which the tire is fitted on a rotary support of an agricultural tool. The sidewalls are each over-molded on a peripheral portion of the rigid base at a second end portion, opposite the tread.

A disc conditioner to work soil in a forward direction including a main support structure, a secondary support structure that protrudes from the main support structure in the forward direction, a main disc assembly affixed to the main support structure, and a secondary disc assembly that is affixed to the secondary support structure and protrudes from the main disc assembly in the forward direction. The secondary disc assembly generates an oscillating soil and residue flow along a central axis of the disc conditioner that levels the soil.
