A cultivator function is coupled with a scraper function in a single implement such that the cultivator portion and the scraper portion of the combination farming implement, when attached to a vehicle, can be mechanically and remotely changed out at any time. The cultivator portion and the scraper portion of the combination farming implement are positioned on opposite sides of a rotating framework, such that the combination farming implement can be mechanically and remotely rotated during use in the field, thus enabling the performance of both the cultivator function and the scraper function without a vehicle operator ever leaving the vehicle.

A crumbler basket implement includes a frame having at least two side by side segments and a plurality of generally cylindrical crumbler baskets. Each crumbler basket include opposite end plates that have diameters that are substantially less than the diameter of the crumbler basket. Each crumbler basket is also canted at an acute angle with respect to the transverse direction of the implement. The crumbler baskets are preferably arranged so that the forward leading end of a basket is situated to be in front of the rearward trailing end of the next adjacent basket. Preferably, the crumbler baskets are also arranged so that approximately equal numbers of crumbler baskets are slanted in opposite directions to balance side forces in the implement.

A rolling basket assembly for an agricultural tillage implement. The rolling basket assembly includes a bracket, a first disk and a second disk rotatably connected to the bracket, a plurality of chain assemblies. Each chain assembly includes a first end connected to the first disk and a second end connected to the second disk and a plurality of links looped around one another and collectively forming each chain assembly. Each link includes a first loop, a second loop that is looped around the first loop, and at least one projection extending outwardly from one of the first loop and the second loop.

A finishing assembly for an agricultural implement includes a first rolling basket and a second rolling basket. The finishing assembly also includes a basket support assembly coupled to the first rolling basket and the second rolling basket and configured to support the first rolling basket and the second rolling basket relative to each other. The finishing assembly further includes a linkage pivotably coupled to the basket support assembly at a first pivot point. The finishing assembly even further includes a hydraulic actuator pivotably coupled to the basket support assembly at a second pivot point, wherein the hydraulic actuator is configured to damp pivoting of the basket support assembly about the first pivot point in both a first pivot direction and a second pivot direction, the second pivot direction being opposite the first pivot direction.

A roller assembly for smoothing an expanse of granular media such as golf bunker sand, snow, horse race track dirt, or other media. The assembly has one or more rollers having a longitudinal axis. Each roller includes wires spaced from the axis to define a roller surface. Each wire is resiliently flexible to distort inwardly in response to force of contact on, and to recover during release of force from, the granular media as the roller rotates about the axis on the granular media. A shaft extends along the axis of the roller assembly between the arms of a yoke with a handle extending therefrom. As the roller surface traverses the media, at least some of the media is flung outwardly of the roller, smoothing the expanse. The roller assembly may be manually operated or may be towed behind a towing apparatus.

A tillage implement comprising a main frame, a front group of coulter blades carried by the main frame and extending generally laterally, and a rear group of coulter blades carried by the main frame and extending generally laterally. The tillage implement additionally comprises a set of wheels configured to support the main frame and positioned generally between the front and rear groups of coulter blades. The tillage implement additionally comprises a group of harrow assemblies carried by the main frame and positioned rearward of the rear group of coulter blades. The tillage implement additionally comprises a front group of finishing reels carried by the main frame, extending generally laterally, and positioned rearward of the group of harrow assemblies. Furthermore, the tillage implement comprises a rear group of finishing reels carried by the main frame, extending generally laterally, and positioned rearward of the front group of finishing reels.

A system for detecting material accumulation relative to basket assemblies of an agricultural implement includes a frame assembly, and a basket assembly configured to be supported by the frame assembly relative to a surface of a field. The system also includes a load sensor configured to detect a load indicative of a draft load associated with the basket assembly, and a computing system communicatively coupled to the load sensor. The computing system is configured to monitor the load based on data provided by the load sensor, compare the monitored load to a load threshold, and determine that field materials have accumulated relative to the basket assembly when the monitored load differs from the load threshold.

An agricultural implement and attachment are described for soil conditioning. The implement may include an implement frame, with the attachment configured to be towed by the implement frame. A pressurized fluid circuit may be configured to control one or more actuators, in order to provide lifting or lowering force to the attachment. The attachment may include a leading frame and a trailing frame, each configured to support a set of agricultural tools. The trailing frame may be mounted to the implement frame via the leading frame.

An agricultural implement includes a row unit having a main body and a shank and a ground working tool operatively connected to the shank, the shank extending from the main body. The agricultural implement further includes an arm extending rearwardly from the main body of the row unit. There is a basket assembly including a first and a second rolling basket on opposite sides of an end of the arm, wherein the first and the second rolling basket are independently rotatable to break up clumps of soil. The first and the second rolling baskets each have an annular ring at an open outer end.
