Seed tube guard with integral fluid channel for agricultural planters
A seed tube guard for agricultural planters is cast from a high-chrome cast-iron alloy or manufactured from other wear-resistant material. The seed tube guard has a leading front surface, a trailing rear surface, and respective right and left surfaces. A fluid delivery channel is integrated within the body of the seed tube guard between the leading front surface and the trailing rear surface, and between the right and left surfaces. The fluid delivery channel has an entrance and an exit with the exit located below and rearward of the entrance for delivering fluid into a seed furrow ahead of a seed tube exit.
Control system mounting arrangement for an agricultural implement
An agricultural implement includes a storage tank, a pump positioned below a bottom portion of the storage tank, and a control system disposed above the bottom portion of the storage tank. The storage tank is configured to hold a flowable agricultural product. The pump is configured to direct the flowable agricultural product out of the storage tank. The one or more controls are configured to control application of the flowable agricultural product.
TRENCH CLOSING ASSEMBLY
A trench closing assembly including at least one soil deflector.
SEED FIRMER LIFE EXTENDER MOUNTING BRACKET AND FASTENER
The present invention involves a seed firmer with a pusher attachment that extends the life of the seed firmer and improved brackets for mounting the same to a planter. The improved brackets allow for different mechanisms of mounting seed firmers to different locations on a planter. The brackets have portions for attaching and mounting to the planter, and a housing for accepting and securing the firmers. The brackets allow for better positioning of firmers on a planter, ease of mounting and/or replacement of firmers, and improved firmer functionality.
OPENER ATTACHMENT FOR AN AGRICULTURAL ROW UNIT
An opener attachment for an agricultural row unit including a frame, an arm pivotally coupled to the frame, an opener disc coupled to the arm and configured to excavate a trench into soil, and a gauge wheel coupled to the arm and configured to block movement of the opener disc into the soil to control a depth of the trench. The opener attachment also includes a mechanical stop coupled to the frame and configured to block the gauge wheel and the opener disc moving toward the soil. In addition, the opener attachment includes an air bag configured to urge the gauge wheel and the opener disc toward the soil.
LIQUID DISPENSING SYSTEM
A liquid dispensing apparatus for applying liquid products to row crops. The liquid dispensing apparatus includes a plurality of drop assemblies supported by and laterally spaced along a boom structure. Each of the drop assemblies includes dribble hoses for dribbling a liquid product onto the soil in a rhizosphere of adjacent crop rows. The drop assemblies may include a spray assembly for spraying the row crops. The dribble hoses may be supported by a base unit with positionable support brackets
INJECTION DEVICE AND PROCEDURE FOR USING THE DEVICE FOR INTRODUCING AIR AND/OR ADDITIVE TO THE DEEPER LAYERS OF SOIL
Injection device and procedure for using the device for introducing air and/or additive to the deeper layers of soil The subject of the invention is an injection device and procedure for using the device for introducing air and/or additive to the deeper layers of soil, which device is suitable for introducing air and/or additive to the deep layers of soil with high pressure, where the arrangement of the device makes sure that air and/or additive is spread to a large area, and it also ensures that the air and/or additive cannot flow back to the surface along the device. Furthermore, with the help of the procedure while using the device it is possible to introduce proper quantity of air and/or additive into the deeper layers of the soil corresponding to the given soil quality. Injection device consisting of base body having longitudinal hole, and one end of the base body is formed with tapered tip, and there are holes in the lower and upper parts of the base body, which are connected to the longitudinal hole. It is characterised by that there is a tapered tip (3) having length LI formed with rim (4) at one end of the base body (2) having length L and an axis t of the device (1), above which a tapered injecting part (5) is established with length L2, at the bottom of which injecting part (5) one or more hole(s) (6) are established, the axes of which holes (6) are aligned in the same plane or in separate planes above one another, and a tapered neck part (8) having length L3 is formed above the injecting part (5), and a ring (17) is fixed at the interface of the neck part (8) and the holder part (9) which is formed with supporting rim (10) at its upper area located above the neck part (8) with length L4 and diameter D3, and a compression ring (18) is placed in a movable manner above the ring (17), and a ring (19) is located on the base body (2) between the compression ring (18) and the supporting rim (10), furthermore a rubber seal (23) is placed on the fastening part (12) having length L5 and diameter D3 and is provided with a hole (13) above the supporting rim (10), and a clamp (20) with input pipe (21) is placed on the rubber seal (23) so that the input pipe (21) is located directly above the hole (13), and there is a hole with Morse taper (16) in the coupler part (14) having length L6 and diameter D4 established with rim (15) above the fastening part (12), and a longit
AUTONOMOUS AGRICULTURAL OBSERVATION AND TREATMENT SYSTEM TO APPLY PRECSION TREATMENTS TO AGRICULTURAL OBJECTS
Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an agricultural observation and treatment system and method of operation. The agricultural treatment system may determine a first real-world geo-spatial location of the treatment system. The system can receive captured images depicting real-world agricultural objects of a geographic scene. The system can associate captured images with the determined geo-spatial location of the treatment system. The treatment system can identify, from a group of mapped and indexed images, images having a second real-word geo-spatial location that is proximate with the first real-world geo-spatial location. The treatment system can compare at least a portion of the identified images with at least a portion of the captured images. The treatment system can determine a target object and emit a fluid projectile at the target object using a treatment device.
Hybrid tillage implement for vertical tillage and aeration of soil with deposit of soil additive
An agricultural tillage implement has a vertical tillage section and an aerating section behind the vertical tillage section, each extending substantially perpendicular to the pull direction of the implement. Individual vertical tillage elements, such as disc blades, can be indexed with individual rotary tine assemblies of the aerator section so that discrete holes formed by the aerator section are positioned between substantially continuous slits formed by the vertical tillage section. A ground deposit system deposits a component on the ground and may be configured for conducting and depositing a granular component, such as seeds, fertilizers, minerals or the like, or liquid components, such as liquid manure.
TRENCH CLOSING ASSEMBLY
A trench closing assembly including a fluid applicator.
