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.

A roller for the agricultural soil cultivation has at least one support body that is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation and multiple compaction rings arranged spaced apart from one another next to one another on the support body for compacting the ground and intermediate rings arranged between adjacent compaction rings. At least one first intermediate ring and a second intermediate ring with different diameters and/or different widths are provided. The roller includes at least one ring unit, which includes at least one compaction ring and at least one, in particular second, intermediate ring. The intermediate ring is connected to at least one adjacent compaction ring in a materially bonded manner or configured integrally with the compaction ring.

A soil probe assembly includes a frame member and a wheel rotatably coupled to the frame member. The wheel includes one or more soil probes that, as the wheel rotates against the earth, the weight of the soil probe assembly drives the soil probes into the earth. The wheel is configured to have at least two planar edges such that, as the wheel rolls onto one of the at least two planar edges, a slamming effect occurs due to the planar edge impacting against the ground, thus causing a soil sample to eject from a soil probe located across the wheel from the ground. The ejected soil sample is collected by a collection hamper. The assembly includes a funnel and a carousel such that the funnel is configured to receive and direct the ejected soil sample to the collection hamper, wherein the collection hamper is coupled to the carousel.

The present invention relates to a sowing device having a frame with at least one rotatably mounted first roller with a substantially cylindrical surface, with the first roller being designed to be rolled over a ground surface and to work seeds into the ground. The sowing device is characterized in that at least some portions, but preferable the full circumference, of the cylindrical surface of the first roller has radial indentations and radial protrusions alternating in the circumferential direction, the radial indentations each ascending radially towards at least one radial protrusion, preferably towards both radial protrusions, by way of a radial transition region.

An agricultural system for monitoring plugging of a ground-engaging tool of an agricultural implement includes a signal transmission device configured to transmit wireless signals and a target provided in operative association with the ground-engaging tool, with the target being configured to receive the wireless signals transmitted from the signal transmission device. Additionally, the agricultural system includes a computing system configured to receive moisture data indicative of a moisture content within the field, adjust an output frequency for the signal transmission device to transmit the wireless signals from a current output frequency to an adjusted output frequency based at least in part on the moisture data, and determine when the ground-engaging tool is experiencing a plugged condition based at least in part on an attenuation parameter of the wireless signals transmitted by the signal transmission device at the adjusted output frequency and received by the target.
