  • Patent number: 10806067
    Abstract: A land roller is provided the can be transformed between a transport position and an operating position by at least one actuator. The land roller can have a center section with a center roller, a hitch member connected to the center section, a first wing section pivotally connected at a first end to the center section and having a first wing roller, a second wing section pivotally connected at a first end to the center section and having a second wing roller. The at least one actuator can rotate a first rotating member that pivots the first wing section and rotate a second rotating member that pivots the second wing section to transform the land roller from the transport position into the operating position. The at least one actuator is unconnected to the first rotating member and the second rotating member.

  • Patent number: 9538700
    Abstract: A material spreader attached to and towed by an agricultural vehicle for spreading material such as organic material and fertilizers over a ground surface. The material spreader having a containment box and a material expeller, the expeller having rotating flails positioned along a substantially vertical axis with one or more sets of paddles swingably connected to the flails and the paddles are axially spaced apart along the flail above and below the material spreader floor a desired distance to enhance flow-through of rocks, manure and other organic material and fertilizers.

  • Patent number: 7334645
    Abstract: A hitch apparatus for connection between a tractor and a trailing implement such as a cutter includes a hitch arm at one end of the apparatus extending forwardly and pivotal so as to extend either inwardly or outwardly thus offsetting the apparatus across the rear of the tractor. The apparatus includes the draw bar hitch at the rear spaced across from the hitch arm for attachment to the cutter so that the cutter is offset to one side of the tractor. Two gear boxes and a drive shaft provide connection from the PTO of the tractor to the drive input of the cutter. The offset hitch apparatus allows the cutter to run in a ditch while the tractor remains on level ground.

  • Patent number: 5477930
    Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting the height of a frame of an agricultural implement relative to a groundsurface is described. A parallelogram frame is provided which includes a frame mounted member and a wheel mounting member parallel to the frame mounted member. The frame mounted member is secured in substantially vertical orientation to an end of a transverse support member of the frame of the agricultural implement. A stub axle is secured substantially perpendicularly to a face of the wheel mounting member remote from the transverse support member with a ground engaging wheel rotatably mounted on the stub axle. An expandable jack is mounted to the top of the transverse support member. Upon expansion of the jack a force is exerted upon an upper connecting member causing the parallelogram frame to pivot until a first end of the upper connecting member to which the end of the transverse support member is attached is raised relative to a second end of upper connecting member.
