  • Publication number: 20220210963
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a soil tillage implement having soil tillage tools in particular tine-type tools such as wing share cultivator tines or goosefoot share cultivator tines, and a centre longitudinal axis, wherein the soil tillage implement comprises a number n of soil tillage tools, which are arranged in one or more tool rows following one another in the working direction and oriented transversely to the working direction, and comprises a number s of disc tools which are arranged in one or more disc rows following one another in the working direction and oriented transversely to the working direction and located in the working direction in front of the soil tillage tools. The soil tillage tools comprise at least a first tool region and a second tool region and the first tool region, through its exposed arrangement, is subjected to greater wear than the second tool region. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing such a soil tillage implement.

  • Publication number: 20220201918
    Abstract: The present application relates to a soil tillage implement (10) having soil tillage tools (12), in particular cultivator tines, wherein the soil tillage implement (10) comprises a frame (14) in order to arrange the soil tillage tools (12) in multiple tool rows (16.1 . . . 16.4) following one another in the working direction (A) oriented transversely to the working direction (A), and a running gear (18) having at least one main wheel (20.1, 20.2) which is spaced apart from a centre longitudinal axis (22) transversely to the working direction (A) by a lateral wheel distance (dr). The running gear (18) is arranged within the frame area in such a manner that with respect to the working direction (A) in front of and preferably behind the running gear (18) as well as to the left and right of the running gear (18) at least one soil tillage tool (12) is arranged. According to the invention, all soil tillage tools (12), which are arranged in the tool row (16.

  • Patent number: 10412873
    Abstract: A towed soil cultivation implement (1) is proposed in which the soil tillage tools (5) are guided by a contact pressure controlled depth guide device (9), which enables a constant weight load on a downstream, adjustable reconsolidation implement (6) on uneven ground as well. In the process, the pull line between tractor (3) and soil cultivation implement (1) are maintained in an optimum position.

  • Publication number: 20150230389
    Abstract: The invention refers to centrally adjustable actuators for devices for piling up, collecting or handling earth or mulch, which, depending on the weight of the device, can be used geared up, reduced or linearly. The actuators each have toothed segments with several teeth, which are connected with chain link type pinions fixed in the direction of adjustment but yielding and pivoted. The chain link type pinions are designed to pivot, slide or swivel in such a way that on a turn of the chain link type pinion by 180° the toothed segment and this the devices are changed in their working position displaced by a tooth distance and the chain link type pinions are moved backwards and forwards during this by a half tooth distance. FIG. 1 is to be provided for publication.
