An implement with an interchangeable rotor for vehicles, such as skid-steer loaders, tractors, walk, ride, or pull behind power equipment, and the like, with an interchangeable or replaceable surface engaging rotary drum. The implement includes a support frame, a drive transmission assembly, a surface engaging rotary drum, and a removable idler carrier assembly. The implement incorporates a mechanical linkage for transmitting torque and supporting rotor mounting components to allow the rotating surface engaging rotary drum to be quickly and easily removed from the implement frame to either be serviced or interchanged with a rotor designed for a different application and then reattached.

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.

A system for connecting tines to a rotor of a tilling machine is disclosed. The system includes an adaptor for mounting to the rotor, a tine for coupling to the adaptor by insertion into the aperture, and a locking element movably coupled to one of the adaptor and the tine, the locking element movable into a locking position to engage the other of the adaptor and the tine when in the coupling position to resist removal of the tine from the coupling position. A corresponding method is also disclosed. A tine for connecting to a rotor of a tilling machine is also disclosed.

A universal row clearing bracket including a mounting bracket configured to engage a toolbar of a tractor, wherein the mounting bracket may have a yoke engaged therewith. The yoke may connect to a first and second pivoting arm. One end of the pivoting arms configured to engage the yoke such that the yoke prevents the pivoting arms from moving with respect to the receiver past a certain point in at least one direction. The opposite end of the pivoting arms connecting to an interchangeable shoe, the interchangeable shoe configured to pivotally engage at least one engaging wheel and be replaced for other shoes to support different size engaging wheels.

A ground-working tool including a shank and a sub-soil point at the bottom end of the shank. The sub-soil point has a leading cutting edge transverse to and in front of the longitudinal axis of the shank, a back portion behind the shank, a top portion from the leading edge to the shank, a bottom portion, and opposite lateral sides. A soil-rolling surface on at least one of the opposite lateral sides of the sub-soil point, each soil-rolling surface being concave in cross-section between top and bottom edges along a front to back length.

A driveline assembly for equipment, such as a tiller, includes a pair of counter-rotating bevel gears supported on a wheel shaft and rotatable relative to the wheel shaft. The driveline assembly includes a first slider gear movable between a first position in which the first slider gear is engaged with a first bevel gear of the pair of bevel gears, and a second position in which the first slider gear is engaged with a second bevel gear of the pair of bevel gears. When the first slider gear is engaged with the first bevel gear, the first bevel gear becomes operatively connected to a rotatable tine shaft to rotate tines in a first direction. When the first slider gear is engaged with the second bevel gear, the second bevel gear becomes operatively connected to the rotatable tine shaft to rotate the tines in a second direction opposite the first direction.

An attachment device, in particular a milling machine and/or a mulcher, for use with a carrier vehicle, includes at least one functional unit which is configured for a supply of energy by way of the carrier vehicle, in order to achieve rapid and/or simple initial start-up, the attachment device has at least one control unit which, in at least one operating state, automatically controls and/or regulates at least one limit value of an operating parameter of the functional unit.

A universal row clearing bracket including a mounting bracket configured to engage a toolbar of a tractor, wherein the mounting bracket may have a yoke engaged therewith. The yoke may connect to a first and second pivoting arm. One end of the pivoting arms configured to engage the yoke such that the yoke prevents the pivoting arms from moving with respect to the receiver past a certain point in at least one direction. The opposite end of the pivoting arms connecting to an interchangeable shoe, the interchangeable shoe configured to pivotally engage at least one engaging wheel and be replaced for other shoes to support different size engaging wheels.

There is disclosed an earth cutting apparatus (200) comprising a plurality of articulated elements (210, 212) including at least a first element (210) having a mounting structure (214) thereon and an adjacent second element (212) hingedly connected to the first element (210). An earth cutting member (216) is provided including a proximal end (216.1) which is pivotally mounted to the mounting structure (214) of the first element (210) and an earth cutting end (216.2). The earth cutting member (216) is slidably connected (218) to the adjacent second element (212) and moveable between an extended position (220) and a retracted position (222), such that hinged movement of the adjacent second element (212) relative to the first element (210) causes the earth cutting member (216) to slidably extend from the adjacent second element (212) to the extended position (220) for operatively cutting earth. Hinged movement of the adjacent second element (212) in an opposite direction causes the earth cutting member (216) to slidably retract to the retracted position (222).

An earth cutting apparatus comprising a plurality of articulated elements including at least a first element having a mounting structure thereon and an adjacent second element hingedly connected to the first element. An earth cutting member is provided including a proximal end which is pivotally mounted to the mounting structure of the first element and an earth cutting end. The earth cutting member is slidably connected to the adjacent second element and moveable between an extended position and a retracted position, such that hinged movement of the adjacent second element relative to the first element causes the earth cutting member to slidably extend from the adjacent second element to the extended position for operatively cutting earth. Hinged movement of the adjacent second element in an opposite direction causes the earth cutting member to slidably retract to the retracted position.
