Abstract: A rotary hoe implement includes upstanding spacer members for connection to a tool bar for drafting by a tractor. A rotary hoe supporting arm is pivotally connected to a lower end of the spacer member and an elongate adjustment rod extends from a rear end of the rotary hoe supporting arm to an upper end of the spacer member. A spring member is sleeved on the adjustment rod and cooperates with spring length adjusters on the rod to bias the rotary hoe downwardly into ground engagement and control the up and down movement thereof as the hoe travels over the earth surface. The rotary hoe implements are constructed or ganged together as units and are selectively mountable along the length of the tool bar for operator control.

Abstract: A damming implement for depositing a series of earthen dams across a furrow to provide a line of catch or ponding basins which inhibit run-off of water includes a wheel structure having radially opposed blades oriented transversely to a line of draft for scraping a ground surface and with arcuate arms extending therefrom partly around the circumference of the wheel structure and having respective radially opposed end portions. The wheel structure is mounted in a yoke connected by a hitch to a tool bar pulled behind a tractor. A latch mounted on the yoke alternately engages a shock absorbing pad on one of the end portions of the wheel structure to prevent rotation thereof and scrape one of the blades along the ground surface for accumulating an earthen dam in front of the blade.

Abstract: A rolling ring for a loose ring packer-mulcher is fabricated from a strap of mild steel. Spurs are punched from the strap by a lance die and the strap is rolled to a ring and welded together.
