A flange is disclosed herein for securing a rotary blade to a shaft that includes a solid plate with: an axially oriented shaft hole substantially in the center of the plate; two or more additional blade holes for securing a blade to the flange; an embossment around the shaft hole, providing a profile for stopping blade rotation about the blade hole; and a depression on the back face of the plate opposite the embossment, which provides a welding surface to secure the plate to a shaft passing through the shaft hole. Also disclosed are assemblages that include a flange, such as a blade assembly system for attaching two or more blades to a shaft, a bladed shaft, an attachable farm implement including a bladed shaft, and a powered machine, which includes a bladed shaft.

A rear module, as illustrated with tanks, seed blowers, and transfer pump for fertilizer is mounted on the existing design frame, axle, and steering system; but it is a separate, distinct module. The planting module and the harvesting module must be disconnected from the common front module power unit and switched for planting row crops or harvesting. The harvesting configuration can have an attachment to the header to seed non row crops, such as, a cover crop like rye or canola Such rear module can be the rear unit of an articulated vehicle, such as a harvester.

A tillage implement may include at least one electric motor coupled to a ground engaging tool, a power storage component configured to store power and to provide the power to the at least one electric motor, and a controller communicatively coupled to the at least one electric motor and the power storage component. The controller comprises a memory and a processor and the controller may provide instructions to the at least one electric motor to adjust a rotational speed of the ground engaging tool, an angle of the ground engaging tool relative to a soil surface, or both.

A powered hand tool is adapted to use a variety of interchangeable rotary tools to assist in outdoor activities. Either of two basic tool designs can be utilized for activities including garden tilling, brushing and cleaning, auguring or post hole digging, and auto finishing and polishing. In one embodiment, an adjustable shroud is utilized along with a tiller construction to change the viewing angle of the working tiller tines to facilitate use by operators of different heights, including a kneeling position. The ability to utilize tow torque and low speed assists in avoiding accidental damage to underground wires and, if encountered, the reversibility of the drive assists in untangling the wires.

A facility agricultural laser measure and control motor rotary tillage flattening machine includes a front axle part, a lifting equipment, a rotary tillage component, a battery pack, a rear axle steering part, a rotary flattening component and a rack. A front axle housing with the rack. The rotary tillage component comprises a DC motor, a gearbox and a rotary tillage blade. The DC motor connects with the gearbox through transmission. An output shaft of the gearbox connects with the rotary tillage blade. The rear axle steering part includes a rotary seat, a rotary shaft, a steering handlebar, a rear axle stand and squirrel-cage hubs. An upper end of the rotary shaft is equipped with a steering handlebar. The rear axle stand is equipped with two squirrel-cage hubs through a supporting axle. The rotary flattening component connects with the rack through an electromotive handspike and a flexible torsion bar.

A topsoil separating and spreading apparatus includes a grate and rotor assembly that can be pivotally mounted on the top of a standard loader bucket for operation. The spreader member includes an arcuate grate formed with slotted openings and a rotor rotatably mounted concentrically with the arcuate grate so that disks mounted on the rotor shaft will move adjacent to the arcuate grate to push topsoil through the grate openings. The spreader member is pivotally movable between opened and closed positions and is powered by the prime mover. The opening of the spreader member allows a supply of topsoil to be loaded into the bucket loader, after which the spreader member can be closed against the bucket to force topsoil to be discharged therefrom through the grate openings. The rotor breaks up clumps within the bucket, while the grate prevents the discharge of non-frangible debris from the supply of topsoil.

A tillage implement has a main frame, a hinged wing and a plurality of gangs each having tools along its length. The plurality of gangs includes a main frame gang mounted to the main frame and inner and outer wing gangs mounted to the wing. The inner and outer wing gangs have inner ends that are forward or rearward with respect to the direction of travel of outer ends, and the lengths of the inner and outer wing gangs are offset from each other in the direction of travel.

A drawbar for finishing attachments is arranged to attach to a fore-aft frame member of a tillage implement. The drawbar has a saddle with spaced apart side walls defining a channel configured to receive the frame member. When the frame member is received in the channel, the side walls of the saddle overlap side walls of the frame member and extend in the fore-aft direction rearward of an end of the frame member. The side walls of the saddle and the frame member have mounting openings that align along a lateral direction transverse to the fore-aft direction.

A tilling apparatus and a method of tilling soils which includes the use of a rotational shaft having a number of cutter assemblies located at spaced apart locations on the shaft in which each cutter assembly has a multitude of blades which rotate as the rotary shaft rotates to form a plurality of spaced apart trenches having the same spacing as the spacing of the cutters, and a width caused by the width of the blades. As the blades dig the trench, the soil contacted by the blades is granulated and is tossed about by the spinning blades so that some soil falls back into the trench and some falls along the periphery of the trench to form rows of aerated granules which promote enhanced growth of plants or seeds in the trench and along the edge of the trench to improve the yield of pasture having the trenches. Various attachments can be provided on the tilling apparatus, either in front of or towards the rear of the spinning blades for different purposes, such as rippers, seeders, levellers, or similar. The advantage of the tilling apparatus is that the soil is formed into granules which are used to form an aerated array of soil granules having enhanced growing properties for plants.
