Patent number: 7021397Abstract: A folding furrow roller that facilitates planting operations and optimization of irrigation and drainage with efficient preparation, configuration, and planting of seed beds. A centrally located fixed drum roller supports a pair of hinged outboard drum roller wings that for maximum implement width are deployed in alignment with the main section during operation. The wings are hydraulically folded into a compact upright position for legal transport over public roads. The implement is constructed so as to provide strength and durability comparable to single-section furrow rollers.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2004Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Pitonyak Machinery CorporationInventors: Thomas Edward Pitonyak, Edward Oliver Brandi
