Agricultural System For Field Preparation
An agricultural system includes a frame configured for attachment to a leading tow bar of a towing vehicle, and at least one roller device attached to the frame and extending between two adjacent parallel strip positions. The roller device is configured to crush standing residual plant matter in the field. The system further includes a fertilizer opener disk attached to the frame and which is configured to prepare, at least in part, a furrow for receiving a fertilizer. The system also includes a fertilizer injector attached to the frame and which is configured to deposit the fertilizer into the furrow in a trailing position relative to the fertilizer opener disk.
Row Digger
The Row Digger provides a tool that enables an operator of the Row Digger to remove dirt piles interfering with irrigation between crop field furrows and irrigation trenches. The Row Digger includes a frame capable of moving from a transportation position to an operation position. The Row Digger also includes a plurality of digger arms extending from a central hub and each terminating in a corresponding digging disc. The central hub is connected to the frame at a hub angle and is capable of rotation about a hub axis. Each digging disc is also connected to the corresponding digger arm at a disc angle. Each digging disc enters a crop furrow and utilizes the slopes of the ridges to create the rotation required about the hub axis and ensure a path of travel for the digging discs that removes the impeding dirt piles.

SOIL-CULTIVATION DEVICE
A soil-cultivation device includes a frame attachable to a tractor for movement along a direction of travel F and cultivating units mounted on the frame. Each cultivating unit has a tool carrier unit comprising soil-cultivation tools mounted on the tool carrier unit. The tool carrier unit may be detected in a direction A, A transverse to the direction of travel F. The soil-cultivation tool is moved by of the tool carrier unit on an endlessly circulating path. The tool carrier unit can be moved at a speed which is matched to the speed of the tractor in the direction of travel F such that the soil-cultivation tools engage exclusively in areas between two successive cultivated plants of the row of cultivated plants. A direction of movement of the tools, W, forms an angle relative to the direction of travel F, wherein 90<<180.
SOIL-WORKING DEVICE; METHOD FOR THE HEIGHT GUIDANCE OF AT LEAST ONE FINGER-WEEDER TOOL ABOVE A ROW IN A ROW PLANTATION
A soil-working device for row plantations has a frame and at least one beam, on which at least one finger-weeder tool is arranged, which in particular can be designed to be passively drivable and which is oriented at a setting angle to the soil in a working position for soil working, and a method height-guides at least one finger-weeder tool above a row in a row plantation, wherein the soil-working device has at least one height-guiding apparatus, which keeps the setting angle of a finger-weeder tool in the working position constant and which can be designed advantageously in such a way that the height-guiding apparatus enables the height guidance of further soil-working tools which are operated next to the finger weeders and which thus can likewise be guided in height.

IMPLEMENTS FOR DISPLACING GROUND MATERIAL
Implement apparatus may be configured to displace ground material. For example, an implement may include an extension member coupled to a roller apparatus. The roller apparatus may include a cylindrical portion and a plurality of ground displacing elements. The ground displacing elements may be configured to extend into a ground surface to disperse ground material when the roller apparatus is engaged with the ground surface as the vehicle traverses the ground surface.

Agricultural System For Field Preparation
An agricultural system includes a tow bar, a first row-cleaning device, and a second row-cleaning device. The first row-cleaning device is attached to the tow bar via a first frame and includes a first roller device in a trailing position relative to a first furrow-opener disk and configured to crush standing residual plant matter along a first path on a field. The second row-cleaning device is attached to the tow bar via a second frame and includes a second roller device in a trailing position relative to a second furrow-opener disk and configured to crush standing residual plant matter along a second path on the field. The second roller device is offset longitudinally from the first roller device.
