HINGED AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT

An exemplary form of mobile agricultural equipment generally includes a main frame, a wing frame, and a hinge mechanism. The main frame defines a track, and the wing frame has a roller rotatably mounted thereon. The hinge mechanism movably couples the main frame with the wing frame such that the wing frame is movable relative to the main frame between a first orientation and a second orientation. The hinge mechanism generally includes a sub-hinge plate pivotably coupled with the main frame, a first link pivotably coupled to each of the wing frame and the sub-hinge plate, and a second link pivotably coupled to each of the wing frame and the sub-hinge plate. The roller is configured to travel along the track during a portion of a movement of the wing frame between the first orientation and the second orientation to thereby provide support for the wing frame

A MULTIPURPOSE FARMING AND GARDENING MACHINE
20230108428 · 2023-04-06 ·

The proposed invention discloses a multipurpose agro-farming and gardening machine for earth pit digging, tilling, raking, soil bed preparation on plain terrains, as well as in sloppy terrains in hilly areas, weeding, manuring and seeding, with augers, raking rods, compost or manure and seed drop attachments for use in small farms and home gardening. Machine of the proposed invention comprises three rotary soil excavating augers (7) and a linear actuator (2) for driving the assembly of augers to dig into the soil for making pits or for making trenches with adjoining raised beds. Attachments enable adopt double digging practices for preparation of soil beds, manuring and seeding comprising [i] raking rods with spikes for deep digging and [ii] attachments for compost or manure drop and seed drop.

APPARATUS FOR IN-SITU RECONDITIONING OF A MEDIA USED IN AN EFFLUENT TREATMENT BED

An apparatus for in-situ reconditioning of a media used in an effluent treatment bed is disclosed, in which passage of effluent has become impeded by clogging matter within the media, the bed having been planted with vegetation having roots extending into the media. The apparatus includes a frame supporting a superstructure operable to be disposed above a surface of the bed when in operation, a pair of spaced apart arms having distal ends extending downwardly from the frame, and an agitator extending between the pair of arms and having tines for sub-surface tilling of the media. The agitator is coupled to a drive system operable to cause rotation thereof. A lifter bar is disposed between the arms above the agitator such that when the frame is advanced through the bed the lifter bar passes through the bed below a primary root zone of the vegetation lifting and separating the primary root zone while the agitator tills the media below causing clogging matter to be separated from the media.

Drum style rotary tiller

A rotary tiller comprises a frame, a cylindrical drum rotatable relative to the frame, a plurality of tines extending from the cylindrical drum, a motor at least partially disposed within the cylindrical drum, wherein the motor is configured to rotate a motor output member, and a transmission at least partially disposed within the cylindrical drum and configured to engage the motor output member. The transmission is operable to drive rotational movement of the cylindrical drum.

Actuator assembly

A soil penetrating apparatus having an automatic tool (e.g., aerator tine) depth control system and method. The system includes an actuator that sets and controls tine depth, a sensor that monitors tine depth, and a controller that controls the actuator in response to the sensor. In some embodiments, the actuator is a hydraulic actuator, wherein once tine depth is set, flow to the actuator is bypassed. A relief may be provided to allow the tines to lift to a shallower depth temporarily when soil hardness exceeds a threshold. The system may then automatically return the tines to the pre-selected depth once soil conditions permit.
