Publication number: 20150163989Abstract: A towable agricultural implement having a center section and foldable wings mounted by hinges on opposite sides of the center section to fold upwardly or downwardly about substantially longitudinal hinge axes. Each hinge has a spaced ball joint and guide roller in roller slot. A wing float axis for each wing extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal hinge axis in a transverse direction, each wing also being pivotal about the float axis. The hinge design with the float axis prevents weight transfer between the center section and wing sections when the implement operates over uneven soil, providing uniform soil conditioning over the width of the implement. The center section rollers are positioned ahead of, behind, or co-linear with the wing rollers. Lockout kits are provided for mounting within the roller guide slots for restricting motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2015Publication date: June 18, 2015Inventors: Donald R. Landoll, Phillip R. Landoll, Christopher Lee Tamm, Richard W. Penner

Publication number: 20140262373Abstract: A tillage disc assembly for use with a fully-integrated tillage implement including two modes of transportation: a working implement mode and a transportation mode, wherein the disc assembly includes an air spring and a thrust bearing for superior conformity to the field surface and protection of the disc itself. The shank can be adjusted to numerous angles for desired earth working performance. Each disc assembly is individually mounted to the frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Landoll CorporationInventors: Donald R. Landoll, Phillip R. Landoll, Alex J. Koch, Richard W. Penner

Publication number: 20140262368Abstract: A fully-integrated tillage implement including two modes of transportation: a working implement mode and a transportation mode, wherein a transport wheel assembly can be hydraulically raised and lowered at will to transform the implement between the various positions. A hydraulic leveling bar affixed to the drawbar assembly serves to keep the entire implement level with the tractor while traversing a field or while towing the implement in transport mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Landoll CorporationInventors: Donald R. Landoll, Phillip R. Landoll, Alex J. Koch, Richard W. Penner

Patent number: 8434657Abstract: A multi-station, gantry-based automated welding system includes a gantry mounting robotic arc welders or other equipment. The gantry has a range of travel over multiple workstations, each workstation being adapted for rotatably mounting a respective workpiece on a headstock assembly and a tailstock assembly, which define a workpiece or weldment rotational axis extending therebetween. The tailstock assembly can be located at different positions within a workstation for accommodating different lengths of workpieces. Encoders are installed at the moving elements of the system for precisely tracking and providing output to the computer controller. Primary and secondary power/data distribution systems include cable and hose carriers for providing mobile power/data connections to the gantry and also to the robotic arc welders mounted thereon. The power/data distribution systems are elevated above a facility floor to avoid interfering with equipment, personnel and activities at floor level.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2012Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Landoll CorporationInventors: Donald R. Landoll, Jeffrey P. Germann, Hosea M. Harris, Jeffrey L. Keating, Phillip R. Landoll, Daniel W. Kaller

Patent number: 8292557Abstract: A vehicle transporter includes a frame with a load deck, a slidable undercarriage mounted on the frame and a subframe movably mounted on the frame between raised and lowered positions. Wheel wells are formed in the deck when the subframe is lowered relative to the frame. A pair of outrigger assemblies each includes a hydraulic piston-and-cylinder lift unit for raising and lowering the transporter whereby the undercarriage can be slid between fore and aft positions.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2011Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Landoll CorporationInventors: Donald R. Landoll, Loren F. Wassenberg, Phillip R. Landoll, Jim R. Ladner, Kyle D. Swart

Patent number: 8210418Abstract: A multi-station, gantry-based automated welding system includes a gantry mounting robotic arc welders or other equipment. The gantry has a range of travel over multiple workstations, each workstation being adapted for rotatably mounting a respective workpiece. A control system controls and coordinates the movements and operation of the gantry, the robotic arc welders and the workpiece-rotating motors located at the workstations. Encoders are installed at the moving elements of the system for precisely tracking and providing output to the computer controller. Primary and secondary power/data distribution systems include cable and hose carriers for providing mobile power/data connections to the gantry and also to the robotic arc welders mounted thereon. The power/data distribution systems are elevated above a facility floor to avoid interfering with equipment, personnel and activities at floor level.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2011Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Landoll CorporationInventors: Donald R.
