Abstract: An agricultural implement is provided that includes a frame assembly. Moreover, the agricultural implement includes a rear hitch assembly coupled to the frame assembly. The rear hitch assembly includes a first arm, a second arm, and a hitch. The first arm and the second arm extend between the frame assembly and the hitch. The hitch is configured to be coupled to an auxiliary implement. Furthermore, the agricultural implement includes a ground engaging assembly which is coupled to the frame assembly, positioned between the first arm and the second arm, and includes a closing system.
Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided to facilitate the transport and storage of tilling machines and specifically mini-tillers. A wheel apparatus can attach to a tilling machine, such as by attachment to a drag bar, in a transport position or a storage position. In the transport position, the wheel apparatus can maintain tiller tines of the tilling machine above the ground surface with the weight of the tilling machine supported on the wheel apparatus, thereby allowing the tilling machine to be rolled for transport. In the storage position, the wheel apparatus can be attached to the drag bar, whereby both the tiller tines and the wheel apparatus rest on the ground surface to provide stability to the tilling machine. During operation the wheel apparatus can be removed from the tilling machine.

Abstract: A power operated hand guided device is designed to scarify, edge, and aerate lawns and grass. It comprises tools in the form of blades (26) which rotate in a vertical plane about the common axis of a pair of tool-holder shafts. Each tool holder shaft (21) is rotatably connected to a bearing (12) supported on a vertically adjustable beam (23) having wheels (24 and 25) or rollers at each end. A brake (37) which retards the forward movement by friction with the ground is connected to the motor assembly by a rod (38).
Abstract: An attachment for a box-scraper. The box-scraper includes a pair of spaced apart walls each having a lower edge; a horizontally oriented frame member mounted intermediate the side walls; and, an elongate blade mounted intermediate the walls and having a leading edge. The attachment facilitates leveling of the ground and includes a first horizontally oriented member having a lower ground engaging surface; a pair of flange portions upwardly depending from the first elongate member and each having an upper surface normally bearing against the lower edge of one of the side walls, at least one of the flange portions having an inner wall normally bearing against the leading edge of the blade; and, apparatus connected to the attachment and the frame to maintain the attachment in position on the box-scraper.
