Patent number: 10779453Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a main frame, a rotating blade assembly operatively connected to the main frame, the rotating blade assembly comprising a shaft having a plurality of blades mounted thereto, and a first grader blade and a second grader blade operatively connected to the main frame. Both the first grader blade and the second grader blade follow the rotating blade assembly such that in operation the plurality of blades positioned along the rotating blade assembly chop up a soil heave into smaller pieces of dirt and may for provide for pushing the soil towards a center. The first grader and the second grader may further push the dirt towards the center.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2017Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: SOIL-MAX, INC.Inventors: Bryan David Horsman, Joseph Henry Irwin, Jr.

Patent number: 8814474Abstract: A pitch plow and method of laying flexible pipe in ground includes drawing a pitch plow with respect to the ground, the pitch plow having a frame and a shank pivotally mounted to a frame at a pivot, said shank defining a cutting edge. The shank is oriented relative to earth horizontal causing a change in the elevation of the cutting edge. Flexible pipe is fed through a boot extending generally along the shank. The flexible pipe is fed at an in-feed at an upper portion of the boot and discharged at a discharge at a lower portion thereof. The discharge is generally aligned with a vertical axis passing through the pivot in order to minimize vertical movement of the discharge as the shank pivots about the pivot.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2012Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Soil-Max, Inc.Inventor: Dennis E.
