A suspension system for a row cleaner used with an agricultural row unit. A base is connectable with the agricultural row unit and a support is provided for journaling row cleaner sweeper blades. Links pivotally connect the base and the support for up and down movement of the sweeper blades towards the ground. A pair of coil springs have one end connected to the upper links and the other a free end. A series of holes in the base receive an adjustment pin to provide preselected levels of downward force towards the ground.

An agricultural implement includes a frame and a ground-engaging tool supported on the frame, with the ground-engaging tool configured to perform an operation on a field as the agricultural implement travels across the field. The agricultural implement includes an imaging device configured to generate image data depicting a portion of the field and a computing system communicatively coupled to the imaging device. In this respect, the computing system is configured to identify a plurality of residue pieces present within the portion of the field based on the image data generated by the imaging device. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to determine a residue length parameter associated with the identified plurality of residue pieces. Additionally, the computing system is configured to control a travel direction of the agricultural implement based on the determined residue length parameter.

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.

A tillage element of a tillage tool, comprising a first member being a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially extending finger elements, the tillage element further comprising a second member being a means for securing the first member to an elongate member, such that the circumferentially spaced radially extending finger elements are secured in relation to and around the elongate member.

A strip tillage implement includes a frame, a plurality of row units and a plurality of auxiliary tillage units. The plurality of row units are carried by the frame and spaced apart from each other at a common row spacing, with each row unit being configured for preparing a strip of soil for application of a crop input. The plurality of auxiliary tillage units are located between the row units and spaced apart from each other at the common row spacing, with each auxiliary tillage unit being configured for at least partially processing remains from an already harvested row of crop material.

A system for controlling the operation of an agricultural implement includes a disk blade configured to rotate relative to soil in a field across which the agricultural implement is traveling. Furthermore, the system includes an imaging device configured to generate image data depicting a portion of the field positioned forward of the disk blade. Additionally, a computing system is configured to analyze the image data generated by the imaging device to identify one or more corn stalks that have been severed from a corresponding root ball and are present on a surface of the imaged portion of the field. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine a length parameter associated with the identified one or more corn stalks. In addition, the computing system is configured to control an operating parameter of the disk blade based on the determined length parameter.

An apparatus for breaking up the hardpan subsoil layer of agricultural land has a wheeled frame adapted to connect to a tractor. A roller is rotatably mounted within the frame. A plurality of spike members are attached to the circumferential face of the roller and extend outwardly therefrom beneath the frame for penetrating engagement with the hardpan subsoil layer, to thereby break up the hardpan.
