A tillage implement, a tillage machine, and a method of tilling soil is provided. The tillage implement includes a mounting bracket that couples to a rolling frame, a shank pivotably coupled to the mounting bracket via a hinge assembly, a soil working tool operatively coupled to a distal end of the shank, and a preload assembly for moving the shank to a loaded position that is rotationally offset from an unloaded position. The tillage machine includes a rolling frame that is pulled by a tow vehicle when tilling a field and multiple ones of the tillage implements operatively coupled to the rolling frame that contact and till the field. And the method includes attaching the tillage implement to a rolling frame, preloading the hinge assembly by moving the shank to a loaded position that is rotationally offset from the unloaded position, and contacting the soil with the soil working tool.

An integral hammer (M) designed for the assembly of a sowing disc (D) which is fixed with the bolts (22) and nuts (23) is described. It stands out due to the fact that it includes machining on its internal face of a first raceway (10) and a second raceway (11) for the direct assembly of a first conical roller (12) and a second conical roller (13), thus eliminating the need to incorporate the cups that make up conventional bearings from the outset. For the assembly of said first conical roller (12) and second conical roller (13), the first internal cone (14) and a second internal cone (15) that define the inner bearing rings are used. In this way, the integral hammer works as a single unit that includes the aforementioned first internal cone (14) and a second internal cone (15) with their respective first cage (16) and second cage (17) constituting the hammer-bearing set.

A row cleaning/closing wheel having debris removing and/or furrow closing performance with complimentary left and right cleaning/closing wheel pairs having a sloped body portion at an angle relative to a hub base for cleaning and/or closing operation during row planting. The sloped body portion and the hub base may form a continuous curve from the center of the hub base to a set of teeth on the outer edge of the sloped body portion. The row cleaning wheel for use with a floating row cleaner and/or closing arm assemblies attached to a row planter during planting operation.

A land preparation tool includes a cutting surface having a blade and a mounting interface opposite the cutting surface. The mounting interface of the land preparation tool is configured to detachably connect to a tool holder having a top surface, an end surface, a mounting surface opposite the end surface, and opposing first and second side surfaces extending between the end surface and the mounting surface. The mounting surface has an apex extending downwardly from the top surface and first and second mounting faces. The first mounting face extends inwardly from the first side surface toward the apex and the second mounting face extends inwardly from the second side surface toward the apex.
