  • Patent number: 4333533
    Abstract: A weeder for row crops has a main frame adapted to be mounted at the rear of a tractor. A pair of upright skid boards, spaced at the front and rearwardly divergent, are adjustably interconnected so that their spacing and angular relationship may be varied, and are mounted on the main frame for lateral movement relative to the main frame. When the weeder is advanced the skid boards travel to both sides of the plants and in the furrow in which they are planted, throwing to both sides the soil and uprooting weeds in the furrow, into which the loose soil falls as the implement passes.

  • Patent number: 4314514
    Abstract: A sugar cane planter includes a main frame which may be hitched to the rear of a tractor and is supported by adjustable depth wheels, a drill plough for opening a furrow being mounted under the main frame. A trailer frame, mounted on wheels and connected pivotally about a transverse axis to the main frame carries a hopper for a bulk supply of cane setts and a tank for fungicidal liquid, into which the can setts pass gravitationally from the hopper. An elevator elevates the setts from the tank and discharges them into a chute leading to the furrow opened by the drill plough. The hopper bottom can be tilted to promote the gravitational passage of setts to the tank.
