Abstract: A disc system for an agricultural machine including a frame carrying a plurality of agricultural tools, the disc system comprising a leading disc mounting mechanism and a rear tools mounting mechanism, wherein the mechanisms are mounted in the frame in a manner that they move in upward and downward directions and when one of the mechanisms tends to move in one of the directions the other one of the mechanisms tends to move in the opposite direction to copy as close as possible the field profile.

Abstract: A mounting system for securing planting units in planting machines, each unit including at least a portion removably secured to a carrier beam, the system allowing to quickly and simply change the distance between working units in order to adapt the machine to a better use thereof the beam having at least one slot extending along the beam and receiving a bolt connected to a curved plate bearing against a rear face of the beam, and to the beam, the bolt passing through the slot of the beam.

Abstract: A planting machine having a lifting arrangement for lifting and carrying planting units, with the weight of the units uniformly and evenly distributed on the machine when the units are traveling in an inoperative mode, the planting machine including a lifting tower upwardly extending in a sloped plane for lifting the planting units up to the transportation inoperative position mode, along the sloped plane defined by the lifting tower, the center of gravity of the planting units lying in a position wherein the weight of the planting units is symmetrically distributed relative to the wheels of the rolling transportation chassis; with the spacing distance between the planting units, in the planting position, being capable of being modified as a function of the desired distance between furrows, without the wheels of the transportation chassis interfering with the hoppers of the planting units and hindering the movement of the planting units.
