Abstract: An apparatus for tilling soil having a support assembly, a shaft assembly secured to the support assembly, and a paddle assembly secured to the shaft assembly. The paddle assembly has three interconnected blades such as to form a triangular opening wherethrough the shaft assembly passes and connects to the three interconnected blades. A method for tilling and/or pitting soil.

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: An earthworking implement mounted on a three-point hitch of a draft vehicle with a hitch assembly. The hitch assembly has L-shaped members mounted in clamps secured to a main transverse beam. A plurality of parallel linkages movably connect a transverse tool bar to the beam. Row guide units having longitudinally aligned guide wheels and furrowing tools are mounted with clamps to the tool bar. Earthworking tools are mounted with clamps to the tool bar. In one form, the earthworking tool is a blade sequentially moved into and out of the soil with a lifting wheel to dig water and snow holding basins or trenches in the soil.
