Abstract: An assembly is provided to distribute flowable particulate material, and includes a conduit to which the material is delivered and to which an airstream is supplied to move the material along the conduit to a delivery downstream destination, a separator, within the conduit, to engage the airstream to concentrate the material in a concentrated portion of the airstream by separating a portion of the airstream, an output connected to the conduit downstream of the separator to receive the flowable particular material and deliver the material to the downstream destination, and an air distribution head in constant fluid communication with the separator to receive the separated portion of the air stream and also in constant fluid communication with the output to assist the delivery of the flowable particulate material by the output to the downstream destination by delivering the separated portion of the air stream to the output.

Abstract: A seeding tool includes: a frame supported by a frame wheel so that the frame is pivotable about a wheel axis; a plough assembly attached to a rear portion of the frame and including a seed boot for planting seeds in a soil bed at a desired depth; a fixed drawbar hingedly attached to a front portion of the frame so that the drawbar is pivotable about a drawbar axis that is parallel to the wheel axis; a front height sensor attached to the front portion of the frame to provide a front height signal; a rear height sensor attached to the rear portion of the frame to provide a rear height signal; and an actuator located between the fixed drawbar and the frame operable to adjust an angle between the fixed drawbar and the frame to level the frame relative to the soil bed based on the front and rear height signal.

Abstract: A plough assembly (100) to be mounted on a beam (10) to be moved in a longitudinal forward direction (12) over a soil layer, having a soil surface, to be worked by the assembly (100), the assembly (100) including: a digging shank (110) to extend downwardly into the soil layer; a digging point (120) having a lowermost extremity (122) and to be fixed to a lower portion (112) of the shank (110); a pivotable connector (130) to connect the digging shank (110) to the beam (10); a fluid cylinder (140) mounted across the pivotable connector (130) such that pivoting of the shank (110) causes movement of the cylinder (140), the cylinder (140) being connected to a plough fluid line (150); a pressure reducing valve (160) connecting the plough fluid line (150) to a fluid circuit (170), the pressure reducing valve (160) being adapted to release fluid pressure from the plough fluid line (150) to the fluid circuit (170) at a pre-determined over-pressure point.

Abstract: A fertilizer boot (10) for a plough assembly (27) including a body (11) with an upper solid fertiliser inlet (12) and a lower solid fertiliser outlet (14) and a passageway between the upper solid fertiliser inlet (12) and the lower solid fertiliser outlet (14), wherein the body (11) has a lower body portion (31) that includes the lower solid fertiliser outlet (14), the lower body portion (31) having outwardly facing sidewalls (33) on either side of the lower solid fertiliser outlet (14), and wherein the sidewalls (33) are at least partially coated with a wear-resistant coating for reduction of wear of the sidewall (33) during use of the fertiliser boot (10) with the plough assembly (27).

Abstract: A plough assembly (10) to be drawn by a plough frame that is attached to a prime mover. The assembly (10) includes a digging shank (14) attached to a clamp (11) that is to be attached to the plough frame. Attached to the lower end of the shank (14) is a digging assembly (21). The digging assembly (21) includes a mounting (22) and a digging blade (23). Behind the digging blade (23) is a twin road seeding boot (76). Following the boot (76) is a press wheel (68), with the seeding boot (76) having a transverse width greater than the transverse width of the blade (23).

Abstract: A digging assembly for a plough. The digging assembly has a digging blade assembly that is moved through the soil to form a slot, and a closing tool assembly that forms a seed bed by partly closing the slot formed by the digging blade assembly. Following the closing tool assembly is a seed boot that delivers seed to the seed bed formed by the closing tool assembly.

Abstract: A closing tool to be attached to a plough frame to engage a soil layer, the tool includes an attachment stem via which the closing tool is attached to the plough frame. Secured to the lower portion of the stem are wear resistant members.

Abstract: A plough assembly (10) to be fixed to a plough frame including a transverse beam (11). The assembly (10) includes a plough shank (13) with a leading surface (14) that is generally upwardly oriented. The lower end of the shank (13) is provided with a digging adapter (24) to which there is attached a digging blade (28). Located behind the adapter (24) is a fertilizer delivery tube (33), while behind the tube (33) is a seed delivery tube (42). A seed bed is formed by a tool (43) that is in front of the tube (42), while behind the tube (42) is a press wheel (39).
