Abstract: A cultivator apparatus, for use on a motor vehicle, includes a blade-support/vehicle-connector assembly which includes a horizontally oriented base portion, blade connectors attached to the base portion for connecting to a blade assembly, and first vehicle connectors attached to the base portion for connecting to the motor vehicle. A blade assembly is connected to the blade connectors and extends downward from the base portion. The blade assembly includes a pair of downwardly descending strut members connected to the blade connectors and includes a horizontally extending scraper blade unit connected to the strut members. The blade-support/vehicle-connector assembly further includes a lift-link assembly supported by the base portion. The lift-link assembly includes housing walls connected to the base portion. A lower link-support pin is connected horizontally between the housing walls. An upper link-support pin is connected horizontally between the housing walls.

Abstract: A method of reducing rock damage to a trailer having fenders is described. The method involves a single step of securing deflector shields to opposed sides of a trailer. Each deflector shield is angled outwardly and rearwardly from one of the opposed sides of the trailer to a peripheral edge of a fender. Each deflector shield extends to a height substantially equal to a top of the fender.

Abstract: An apparatus to preclude the theft or unauthorized use of a trailer comprising a cylindrical member formed of a rigid material positionable in a vertical orientation, the cylindrical member having a cylindrical side wall, a closed top in a generally spherical configuration and an open bottom, the cylindrical member having an upper extent positionable in the downwardly facing recess with the lower extent of the cylindrical member located therebeneath; a cross bar positionable in a horizontal orientation extending diametrically through the side wall of the cylindrical member with its lower edge located co-planar with the lower edge of the open end of the cylindrical member and an upper edge, an aperture extending through each end of the cross member at a location radially remote from the axis of the cylindrical member and the side wall of the cylindrical member; and a pair of rigid arms, each arm having a lower aperture at its lower end, the aperture of each arm positionable in axial alignment with an associate
