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.

A representative system for preparing a field for planting includes: first disk blades, each exhibiting a first offset angle with respect to a tilling direction; second blades, each exhibiting a second offset angle with respect to the tilling direction; ripper shanks disposed behind the second disk blades; third disk blades disposed behind the ripper shanks, each exhibiting a third offset angle with respect to the tilling direction; fourth disk blades, each exhibiting a fourth offset angle with respect to the tilling direction; and a chopper reel disposed behind the fourth disk blades; wherein, with respect to magnitude, each of the first offset angle and the second offset angle is greater than each of the third offset angle and the fourth offset angle.

A garden tiller is disclosed herein. The garden tiller includes at least one handle portion configured to be grasped by a user; a shaft portion coupled to the at least one handle portion, the shaft portion having a first end and a second end, the second end of the shaft portion being oppositely disposed relative to the first end; and a body portion coupled to the second end of the shaft portion, the body portion including an impact motor configured to drive one or more cultivating teeth for loosening and/or displacing soil, the impact motor configured to apply an impact torque to the one or more cultivating teeth so as to more effectively break up compacted soil.

A cylindrical device includes semi-helically oriented teeth, knives, or blades radially outward from an outer surface of the cylindrical device or rotor. Each tooth, knife, or blade is part of a row of teeth, knives, or blades. Each row is oriented with an offset angle such that the spirally orientation completes angular offset of about 90° or less. The knives may have sharpened edges that are oriented to cut on different planes as the cylindrical device rotates. The knives may be held in place by holders that have configurations to oriented the knives at certain angles.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for remotely adjusting implements with preset profiles are described. A disclosed method for processing a material on a ground surface includes receiving a transmitted monitored set of parameters of the first set of material manipulators and the second set of material manipulators; determining whether the first set of material manipulators or the second set of material manipulators is within a predetermined range of a parameter setpoint; and upon determining the first set of material manipulators or the second set of material manipulators is not within the predetermined range of the parameter setpoint, actuating the first set of actuators to adjust the first set of material manipulators or the second set of actuators to adjust the second set of material manipulators, wherein actuating the first set of actuators or the second set of actuators can be performed independently.

An apparatus, which may be a tillage apparatus, may have a flexible frame. The frame may be made from open members. The frame may support ground engagers and may be supported on wheel assemblies. The ground engagers may be connected to a spring trip mechanism. The ground engagers may be mounted to open members of the frame with a clamping style mechanism. The clamp mechanism may include wedge devices. The frame may be lowered and raised relative to wheels of the wheel assemblies with a lift mechanism. One row of ground engagers may be raised or lowered relative to the frame independent of another row of ground engagers. An anti-skid or skew control system may be employed in association with the independent height adjustment of one row of ground engagers. A system may be provided to maintain and control the height of a tow hitch forming part of the apparatus.

An agricultural implement includes a row unit having a main body and a shank and a ground working tool operatively connected to the shank, the shank extending from the main body. The agricultural implement further includes an arm extending rearwardly from the main body of the row unit. There is a basket assembly including a first and a second rolling basket on opposite sides of an end of the arm, wherein the first and the second rolling basket are independently rotatable to break up clumps of soil. The first and the second rolling baskets each have an annular ring at an open outer end.

An engine operating device of a working machine includes a control assembly installed in a body, an operating lever mounted on a handle, and an operating cable. The control assembly includes a base member, a stop switch secured to the base member, and a lever member supported by the base member. The operating cable includes a throttle wire, a stop wire, and a cable tube in which the throttle wire and the stop wire are fitted. As the operating lever is moved to an engine stop position, the lever member moves to a release position, causing an engine to stop.

A system for connecting tines to a rotor of a tilling machine is disclosed. The system includes an adaptor for mounting to the rotor, a tine for coupling to the adaptor by insertion into the aperture, and a locking element movably coupled to one of the adaptor and the tine, the locking element movable into a locking position to engage the other of the adaptor and the tine when in the coupling position to resist removal of the tine from the coupling position. A corresponding method is also disclosed. A tine for connecting to a rotor of a tilling machine is also disclosed.
