  • Patent number: 6082276
    Abstract: A disk colter has a main disk for making a furrow in the ground. A secondary disk keeps the furrow open over a long enough distance that one or more seeds can be deposited. A support member supports the disks which are mounted so that they can rotate freely and are inclined in such a way that their peripheries meet in a region where the disks are closest to each other. This region is located at a bottom front part of the colter. On the main disk and/or the secondary disk, there is a plugging member intended to plug, at least in a vicinity of the region, a slot between the main disk and the secondary disk so that earth and/or plant debris are prevented from accumulating between the disks at least in the region.
