The present invention provides a tillage point having a ground engaging structure configured to adjust with respect to the ground so that the tillage point can flexibly adapt to various field conditions. The ground engaging structure can comprise wings for increasing soil fracture below the ground surface and/or a cover board for moving soil along the ground surface. The ground engaging structure can variably adjust using an actuator, such as a hydraulic cylinder, connected to linkage which can move the ground engaging structure through multiple angles about a pivot point during tillage operations. In addition, a controller can adjust the actuator to maintain an angle of the ground engaging structure according to a location on a prescription map.

Unique self-propelled soil working machines are disclosed. In certain exemplary embodiments the self propelled soil working machine includes a tool carrier which is actively adjustable to provide variable downward force on a soil working tool via a suspension element which is further passively responsive to accommodate motion of the tool in response to external force. In certain exemplary embodiments, the tool carrier is configured to adjust the working depth and pitch of the tool. Further embodiments, forms, objects, features, advantages, aspects, and benefits shall become apparent from the following description and figures.

Linkage assemblies for harrow implements are provided that facilitate the consistent positioning of all teeth of the harrow implements in an appropriate orientation (i.e., the appropriate attack angle) during operation. Beneficially, due to the configuration of the linkage assemblies within the harrow implements, the linkage assemblies are configured to be maintained in a generally horizontal orientation during operation. As such, each of the linking elements of the linkage assemblies will have their orientations aligned, such that a horizontal plane will encompass all of the linking elements of a given harrow implement. This allows for all of the teeth of the harrow implement to be positioned at the desired and appropriate orientation.
