A multiple use toolbar attachment for an agricultural implement to tiller to enhance seed planting and row making. The toolbar converts the agricultural implement between a tilling implement and a planting implement in “one-step” by rotation of the toolbar about a longitudinal axis. A plurality of implement mounting brackets are disposed in a spaced apart relation along the longitudinal length of the tool bar. A forward mounting bracket is adapted to receive a first implement and an aft mounting bracket is adapted to receive a second implement. Rotation of the toolbar selectively positions one of the first implement or the second implement to treat the ground surface. The multiple use toolbar may be coupled to another implement, such as a tiller, for tandem operation with the another implement.

A removably affixable universal planting drill that can be fastened to existing soil conditioning equipment, thereby simultaneously conditioning the soil and planting seeds, without the need for replacing existing cultivation devices.

Apparatus and methods for detecting and remediating clogged gauge wheels, closing wheels, and seed tubes of an agricultural planter.

An agriculture planter includes a planter frame, a seed hopper, and a trailing arm assembly. The planter frame may include a hitch tongue extending forwardly from the planter frame. The trailing arm assembly may be coupled to a rear portion of the planter frame via a parallel linkage and extend rearward from the planter frame, and include separate but adjustable trailing arm assemblies for the opening implements and the closing implements.

In one embodiment, a vehicle platform comprises a central body that can support one or more implement configurations, such as sprayer booms, or planting row units. A plurality of adjustable legs extends downward from the central body. Each adjustable leg has a corresponding leg actuator to adjust a respective vertical height of each adjustable leg. Each adjustable leg supports the central body. Planting row units are supported by or suspended from the central body.

A wheel assembly for an agricultural implement. The agricultural equipment includes a laterally-extending toolbar with one or more agricultural tools extending from the toolbar. The wheel assembly comprises a wheel configured to rotate along a ground surface. The wheel assembly additionally comprises a base bracket configured to be rigidly secured to the toolbar. The wheel assembly further comprises a wheel bracket adjustably engaged with the base bracket. Adjustment of the wheel bracket with respect to the base bracket causes a corresponding lateral shifting of the wheel with respect to the toolbar.

Provided herein is a trailing arm assembly that includes a frame bracket attachable to a planter towing frame, a first frame, and a four bar parallel linkage connecting the frame bracket and the first frame with a first pivot and a second pivot on the frame bracket and a first pivot and a second pivot on the first frame. The trailing arm assembly also includes an adjustable biasing member extending from the parallel linkage to the frame bracket. The parallel linkage is connected between the first frame and the frame bracket such that the parallel linkage maintains a parallel orientation of the first frame. The adjustable biasing member is adjustably connected to a portion of the parallel linkage.

An agricultural seed planter is provided. The agricultural seed planter has a large diameter rotating planting wheel with fingers or teeth spaced around the periphery of the planting wheel. The teeth are positioned so as to achieve a spacing of the seeds when planted in the soil. The teeth have a small dimple in the end and an even smaller hole passing through the entire length. The dimple provides a place for the seed to sit in and the small hole allows positive or negative air pressure to be transmitted to the seed. The negative air pressure creates a vacuum suction that attaches the seed to the teeth, and the positive air pressure releases the seed from the teeth. In an example implementation, the wheel includes many individual mechanical modules that are linked together to form the wheel.

The tree planting machine includes a vehicle main unit, a beam, and a plurality of planting devices. The beam is attached to the vehicle main unit along the vehicle width direction, and is longer than the vehicle width of the vehicle main unit. The plurality of planting devices are attached to the beam.

A seeder machine (1) having at least one seeding module towed by a tractor vehicle. Each module includes an air intake (5), a hopper (7) for storing seeds (2), a rotating plate (8) provided with a plurality of holes (9) able to retain and transport a seed (2) by suction in a unitary manner, and a dosing scoop wheel (11) synchronised with the rotating plate (8), provided with a plurality of buckets (12). The dosing scoop wheel (11) has an automatic opening and closing mechanism (16) for each bucket (12), configured to cause the closing of each bucket (12) after receiving a seed (2) coming from the rotating plate (8), and to cause the opening thereof when the respective bucket (12) adopts an inverted position, wherein the seed (2) is able to fall from a point adjacent to the level of the terrain.
