A land preparation tool includes a tool body having a cutting surface, mounting surfaces disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface, and opposing side surfaces each extending between the cutting surface and a different one of the mounting surfaces. One mounting surface angles inwardly from a distal edge of a side surface toward the tool body. Another mounting surface angles inwardly from a distal edge of the other side surface toward the tool body. An opening is disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface and between the mounting surfaces. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A land preparation machine includes a land preparation apparatus connected to a lift assembly of a vehicle. The land preparation apparatus has a rotatable drum and a plurality of tools assemblies disposed thereon. A tool assembly of the plurality of tool assemblies includes a tool holder and a tool attached thereto. The tool includes a tool body having a cutting surface disposed on a side of the tool body, an apex disposed on a different side of the tool body opposite the cutting surface, and tool mounting surfaces disposed on the side of the tool body opposite the cutting surface. One tool mounting surface extends outwardly from the apex at an angle toward the cutting surface. Another tool mounting surface extends outwardly from the apex, opposite the other tool mounting surface, at an angle toward the cutting surface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A saw tooth for a saw including a square saw tooth body to be mounted on a holder and for receiving inserts fastened to inwardly sloping seating surfaces on the cutting end of the tooth body. The inserts are provided with cutting edges. Between seating surfaces, the cutting end of the tooth body defines recesses for receiving intermediate members fastened therein. The intermediate members are provided with cutting edges, and the intermediate members abut the adjoining inserts to form a cutting surface about the periphery of the cutting end of the saw tooth and help protect the saw tooth body from damage including washout.

A land preparation tool includes a tool body having a cutting surface, a mounting surface, an opening, and a channel. The cutting surface has a blade positioned at a distal end thereof. The mounting surface has a non-planar profile and is disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface. The opening is disposed on the mounting surface and the channel extends from the opening at least partially into the tool body. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A land preparation tool includes a tool body having a longitudinal axis; a cutting surface having a distal end and a blade positioned at the distal end; a mounting surface disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface, the mounting surface having an apex extending along about half of the mounting surface parallel to the longitudinal axis, a first mounting surface extending from the apex, a second mounting surface extending from the apex, and an opening disposed on the mounting surface; and a channel extending from the opening only partially into the tool body

A saw tooth including a body defining substantially opposed rear and front ends and an axial centerline extending between the rear and front ends, the body defining side faces joined to each other by body edge sections, each side face and each body edge section extending between the rear and front ends; edge cutting tips extending from the body at the front end and facing the direction of advance, each edge cutting tip being in prolongation of a respective one of the body edge sections; and side cutting tips extending from the body and facing the direction of advance, each of the side cutting tips being provided at the front end between two adjacent ones of the edge cutting tips in prolongation of a respective one of the side faces.

A land preparation tool includes a tool body having a longitudinal axis; a cutting surface having a distal end and first and second blades positioned at the distal end; a mounting surface disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface, the mounting surface having an apex extending along about half of the mounting surface parallel to the longitudinal axis, a first mounting surface extending from the apex, a second mounting surface extending from the apex, and a recess disposed into the mounting surface; and a channel extending from the recess only partially into the tool body.

A box-joint blade system includes left- and right-directed blades that each include a saw plate, a set of saw tips, and a set of gullets disposed between the tips. The tips of each blade are axially offset from the saw plate in opposite directions, such that the blades may be mounted on the axis of the saw in either a first configuration, with left and right saw tips outwardly offset and producing a wide cut, or a second configuration, with the tips inwardly offset and producing a narrow cut. In at least the second configuration, the tips of each blade are disposed within the gullets of the other. The tips optionally have a positive hook angle of up to 20 or more, to produce a smooth, flat-bottomed groove in a workpiece.

A land preparation tool includes a tool body having a longitudinal axis, wherein the tool body includes a cutting surface and a mounting surface disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface, wherein the mounting surface includes an apex that extends along about half of the mounting surface parallel to the longitudinal axis and first and second side mounting surfaces that extend from the apex; a blade disposed on the same side of the tool body as the cutting surface; and a channel disposed into the mounting surface and extending into the tool body.
