  • Patent number: 4002413
    Abstract: An auxiliary implement adapted for use in combination with different makes and models of first implements includes an adjustable mounting for securing the auxiliary implement to different sizes and shapes of frame members in the first implements. The mounting comprises a bracket secured to a support in the auxiliary implement and the bracket includes a forwardly projecting portion engageable with the upper side of the frame member to which the auxiliary implement is to be connected. A side portion of the bracket extends laterally beyond the side of the support and includes a vertically extending hole formed therethrough. Mounted on the bracket forwardly of the hole is a rearwardly extending tongue having a free end portion located adjacent the hole. The forward end portion of a line in the form of a roller chain is connected to the tongue by being telescoped over the tongue and between the links of the chain.

  • Patent number: 3991831
    Abstract: A field drag particularly adapted for use in conjunction with a post-plowing cultivating implement includes a mounting bar section pivotally secured to the frame of the implement and extending in a rearward direction behind the implement. A plurality of spaced, soil-working teeth are secured to the bar section and extend downwardly therefrom and generally toward one end of the bar section so as to form an acute included angle with respect to the bar section. An adjustable spring tension arrangement pulls the bar section resiliently toward the implement thereby urging the teeth into the soil as the drag is pulled across a seedbed to break up and pulverize clods and smaller chunks of earth into loose soil. In a modified form, the teeth may be fastened to the bar section to slant selectively toward one end or the other of the bar section.
