A rod weeder wherein the rotatable rod is provided as a quick-change rod assembly comprising the rod and rod shoes for being mounted to the rod shanks resulting in the ability to quickly release and change the quick-change rod assembly from the tool frame and the remainder of the implement. Optionally, the rod weeder may comprise disk openers placed in proximity to the gauge wheels, or the support beam may be pivotally movable mounted to the connecting structure such that the same is enabled to oscillate about an axis through a centre pivot and oriented parallel to a forward moving direction of the rod weeder.

An integrated aeration spreader for use with an aerator includes a mounting plate, a mounting block rigidly coupled to the mounting plate, a support arm rotatably coupled to the mounting plate, a support block rigidly coupled to the support arm, a shaft rotatably coupled to the support block, wherein the shaft extends through the mounting block, a first nut threaded on the shaft, a first spring having a first end engaged with the first nut and a second end engaged with the mounting block, a second nut threaded on the shaft, and a second spring having a first end engaged with the second nut and a second end engaged with the mounting block.

The invention relates to a soil cultivation arrangement (100), in particular a soil preparation arrangement, for the agricultural cultivation of a soil (500), in particular a field and/or arable land, with a carrier device for attaching to an agricultural tractor and with one or more soil cultivation units (200, 201, 202, 203) for preparing and/or generating a seed furrow (530), which soil cultivation units (200, 201, 202, 203) as modular components of the soil cultivation arrangement (100) can be connected to the carrier device as required and can be arranged along the carrier device in the desired sequence. At least one soil cultivation unit (200) has a runner-like sliding device (400), the underside of which, as sliding surface (410) facing the soil (500), is designed to slide on a soil surface (510).

A rod weeder with a support beam pivotally movable mounted to the connecting structure such that the same is enabled to oscillate about an axis through a centre pivot and oriented parallel to a forward moving direction of the implement. Optionally, the rod weeder may comprise a down-pressure adjusting mechanism having the hydraulic cylinder mounted thereto for enabling selection of different down-pressures exerted onto the rod.

the apparatus was made too move and level dirt, gravel, and other landscaping and paving materials. It utilizes a rear tine tiller, hinge apparatus, and back blade in combination. It opens if the tiller moves forward and closes in reverse. As used the present invention saves countless hours of time when compared to shoveling and leveling material manually.

A harvesting and sowing integrated compound operation machine, including a combine harvester, a stubble cleaning device, a topsoil loosening device, a fertilization device, a rotary tillage and ditching device, a sowing device, a detection device, a first driving device, a second driving device and a control device, wherein the stubble cleaning device is mounted below a header of the combine harvester; and the topsoil loosening device, the fertilization device, the rotary tillage and ditching device and the sowing device are mounted at a rear of a chassis of the combine harvester.

A soil tillage apparatus that includes a frame with a hitch arrangement for pulling the frame mounting, back from the frame front end, are sequently mounted earth cutter disks that individually turn when pulled through the soil to lift the soil above the ground, followed by a hammer tiller consisting of a rotor drum mounted to turn oppositely to the cutter disks and includes pivotally mounted tines that turn with the rotor drum above the ground to flail the clumps of soil lifted by the disks and pulverize the clumps of lifted soil, in mid-air, into soil particles that fall back to the ground, and are mixed into the soil by chiselers that follow the hammer tiller, and the frame may further mount a soil leveler wheel and soil packer wheel.

A system for monitoring basket plugging for agricultural implements includes a basket assembly configured to be supported by an agricultural implement and a range sensor positioned relative to the basket assembly such that the range sensor is configured to transmit detection signals towards an interior of the basket assembly and receive return signals based on reflection of the detection signals off at least one surface. The system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the range sensor. The controller is configured to analyze data received from the range sensor as the basket assembly rotates relative to the range sensor to determine when the basket assembly is experiencing a plugged condition.
