Ground opener with floating opener body

A ground-opening apparatus for an agricultural implement. The ground-opening apparatus comprises an opening disc for excavating a furrow in the ground, and a support assembly securing the opening disc to the agricultural implement. The support assembly comprises an upper bar, a lower bar, a forward bar, and a rearward bar. The upper bar and the lower bar extend generally in parallel relationship. The lower bar and the rearward bar are joined at a lower, rearward joint. A rotational axis of the opening disc extends through the lower, rearward joint of the support assembly.

System and method for determining material accumulation relative to ground engaging tools of an agricultural implement
11589495 · 2023-02-28 · ·

A system for determining material accumulation relative to ground engaging tools of an agricultural implement may include a frame member, and first and second ground engaging tools coupled to the frame member. The first and second ground engaging tools are configured to engage soil within a field as the agricultural implement is moved across the field. The first and second ground engaging tools are electrically isolated from each other. The system may further include a power source configured to apply a voltage across the first and second ground engaging tools, a sensor configured to measure a capacitance across the first and second ground engaging tools, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The controller may be configured to determine a presence of material accumulation between the first and second ground engaging tools based at least in part on the measured capacitance.

Formations to plow the surface layer of a land using modular agricultural implement of drag and respective components. It was developed to attend specific agricultural activities in areas of compatible dimensions and to carry out the overturning of the superficial layer of the soil, leveling, and/or incorporating correctives and fertilizers, as well as reducing compaction to increase porous spaces and increase the permeability and storage of air and water. It is assembled in modules under different forms of assembly, highlighting there are the triangular agricultural formation in three versions, triangle forward, triangle backward, and agricultural formation large triangle, and the agricultural formation in rhombus in two versions, the simple rhombus, and the large rhombus.
