Bucket mountable plow
Bucket mountable plow suitable for mounting on a front bucket of a loader vehicle may include a clamp assembly configured for mounting on the front bucket of the loader vehicle. A plow blade mount assembly may be carried by the clamp assembly. The plow blade mount assembly may have a fore-aft axis configured to be oriented along a direction of travel of the loader vehicle. A plow blade may be carried by the plow blade mount assembly. The plow blade may be disposed at a blade angle with respect to the fore-aft axis.
Track drive adjustment for a ground sawing machine
The present invention relates to a ground sawing machine comprising a frame supported by rear wheels (34a, 34b) and front wheels (36a, 36b) arranged for moving the ground sawing machine over a surface (38). At least one motor (40, 6) and a saw blade (2) are mounted to the frame, at least one motor (40) being arranged to propel the saw blade (2) to cut against the surface (38). The pointing direction (80) relative the surface (38) of the rear wheels (34a, 34b) and/or the front wheels (36a, 36b) is adjustable by means of an electrically controlled actuator (56) which is controlled by means of control means (70, 71, 72) arranged to provide at least three different control signals, one for left turn, one for right turn and one for center. The control signal for left turn and right turn are arranged for adjusting the pointing direction (80) of the adjustable wheels (34a, 34b) correspondingly, and the control signal for center is arranged for adjusting the pointing direction (80) of the adjustable wheels (34a, 34b) to a predetermined value.
Earth working apparatus
An earth working apparatus, for laying a pipe or cable underground. The earth working apparatus comprises a plurality of trenching modules. Each trenching module is arranged sequentially in a first plane and comprises a cutter in communication with a conveyor. In a second aspect, each trenching module cuts a layer of earth and conveys said layer of earth to a collection device or to a collection area.
Apparatus with divergent V-wing blade configuration
An apparatus features front blade sections fixed to the frame in a V-configuration, and a pull tongue extending over the blade apex to a pivotal connection near a rear of the frame. An actuation mechanism effects relative pivoting between the frame and the pull tongue to adjust an angle between the front blade and the trailer tongue to control a position of the blade apex. Two rear blade sections on opposing sides of the frame are movable between deployed positions extending rearwardly and laterally outward from the front blade sections, and stowed positions elevated out of the deployed positions. The rear blade sections are movable downwardly past a plane in which they align with the front blade sections, thus enabling different working operations.
Forward advancing landscape edging apparatus
An apparatus for cutting an edging trench around a landscape bed is constructed with a cutting blade that is rotated to help move the apparatus in the desired direction of travel while being operated to create an edging trench. The machine can be constructed in self-propelled, non-self-propelled or manually operated stick forms. The apparatus has a cutting blade that is configured in a cone-shaped manner with the narrow diameter located toward the center of the apparatus. The rotor is formed with a pair of thin slicing blades mounted on a spline shaft removable from the apparatus for maintenance. A first slicing blade shears the grass along the top of the trench and forms a vertical wall, while a second slicing blade forms a sloped wall. Displaced soil is discharged from the cutting blade and spread directly over the adjacent landscape bed to eliminate the need for subsequent clean-up operations.
