Abstract: Apparatus is provided for splitting, mulching, and leveling soil beds for planting. The apparatus adapts to changes in contour and elevation of a soil bed to insure that seeds are planted at equivalent depths along the length of the bed. The apparatus includes a tracking wheel that rises and falls with concomitant changes in the elevation of the top of the soil bed and that causes associated bed preparation apparatus to rise and fall simultaneously with the tracking wheel.

Abstract: Apparatus for extracting conduit buried in the ground includes a frame, rippers carried on the frame, and a take-up assembly mounted on the frame to draw the conduit from the ground while the apparatus is moving in a selected direction of travel. The rippers loosen the soil adjacent the conduit to enable the conduit to be easily pulled free from the ground. The take-up assembly includes a take-up roll and a plate adjacent one end of the take-up roll. The plates prevents conduit which is wound around the take-up roll from sliding off of the roll.

Abstract: Apparatus for simultaneously burying multiple strands of tubing in a plowed field. The plowed field includes spaced, elongate, generally parallel upstanding beds. A furrow lies in between each adjacent pair of beds. The apparatus buries tubing in the beds. The conduit has an oblong cross sectional area. The apparatus is designed to prevent the tubing from twisting while being buried in the beds.
