Abstract: A gardening/landscaping utility machine having a counter-rotating twin shaft system that can perform multiple types of work required for gardening/landscaping, including tilling, trench-edging, weeding, brush cutting, snow removal and lawn mowing. These processes can be accomplished by exchanging attachments from, or altering the orientation of, the counter-rotating twin shafts.
Abstract: A foldable implement frame and hitch having a front end for attachment to a draft vehicle having dedicated transport wheels movable between a stored position wherein the transport wheels are out of contact with the ground and a transport position wherein the dedicated transport wheels engage the ground and support the implement frame. The dedicated transport wheels are longitudinally movable along one of the telescoping main frame members toward and away from the draft vehicle to change the center of gravity of said foldable implement frame. Additional pivots in the wings provide greater contouring following capabilities.
Abstract: A tiller includes an engine, a transmission mechanism, and a rotor shaft having tillage tines mounted thereon. The transmission mechanism transmits a motive power of the engine to the rotor shaft to thereby cause the tillage tines to perform tilling operation. The tiller also includes a transmission case having the transmission mechanism housed therein, and a fender disposed to cover the tillage tines. The fender is mounted to the transmission case by means of bolts. Each bolt has a portion projecting downwardly from the fender. The tiller further includes a guard member extending downwardly from the transmission case to a level lower than the portion of each bolt. The guard member guards the bolts against a foreign object thrown upwardly by the tillage tines under the tilling operation.
Abstract: The mixing head comprises a pair of opposed, spaced apart, generally vertical discs that are generally aligned with the direction of travel, although they are slightly angled so as to be wider apart at their front ends than at their rear ends. The discs are rotatably mounted to a free floating frame. Each disc has a plurality of radially extending, elongated, broad, rigid, chisel-like teeth which extend from the disc central portion out beyond its circumferential rim. The discs are driven to rotate against the direction of travel. When rotating, the disc and teeth formations operate to cut down into the coil and excavate it in portions carried by the teeth. The portions are moved inwardly by the angled formations and then thrown and dropped to the rear. The furrow formed has a flat-topped ridge overtopped with a loose mix of excavated soil and humus. The furrow is a good growing site for implanted seedlings.

Abstract: A second hayrake hitch for use with a tractor is disclosed. The hayrake hitch includes a generally U-shaped main frame of size and height to overfit a forward hayrake which is directly connected to the tractor. The main frame includes a main beam and a wheeled rear support bar which is pivotally interconnected relative to the main beam. A second hayrake is connected to a hitch bar secured to the rear support bar to enable the tractor to simultaneously pull the two hayrakes. A hydraulic cylinder extends between the rear support bar and a leg connected to the main beam and hydraulic lines interconnect the cylinder with the hydraulic coupling of the tractor. By hydraulically functioning the cylinder while the tractor is moving, the rear support bar can be pivoted relative to the axis of the main beam to thereby move the rear hayrake to the right or to the left relative to the front hayrake to simultaneously rake two hay windrows or one large combined windrow.
Abstract: A soil tilling machine comprising subsoil tilling members, known as subsoilers, which are drivable via a tractor's PTO around inclined upwardly directed axes. The subsoilers are each primarily constituted by a fowardly and downwardly inclined extending shaft. In front of the tilling members, coulter discs are arranged which cut trenches through which the subsoilers' shafts can move so that the subsoil is intensively worked and broken up while the surface of the soil is hardly disturbed. A roller wheel which controls the depth of the subsoilers is disposed to their rear. The subsoilers are supported by a frame which is hingedly attached to a frame portion having a rectangular trestle for coupling to a tractor's three-point hitch via a spring-loaded parallelogram arrangement which assists in permitting the subsoilers to lift automatically if they encounter obstructions.
Abstract: A fulcrum assembly for a tiller of the type having auger shafts usable in a horizontal or vertical disposition provides a fulcrum point between the handle bars and the auger shafts, so that during operation by moving the tiller handle down an operator can change the downward motion of the auger shafts to an upward motion, thereby enabling the retrieval of the auger shafts from the soil after vertical augering.
Abstract: A ground-clearing and mound-building device is provided that can be towed along the ground to move material on the surface to one side, expose the surface of the ground, and build mounds on the cleared ground for planting and forest regeneration, having a scarifier means mounted for rotation about its central axis, circular in cross-section, and having a peripheral surface that digs into the ground during rotation thereof when in contact with the ground under pressure, arranged to be brought into contact with the ground at any selected contact pressure; with control of at least one of the selected contact pressure and the selected rotation rate to dig, loosen, and displace a surface layer of the ground and push such loosened ground into mounds.
Abstract: A cultivating machine has a hollow frame portion supporting a row of rotating members each of which includes a lower plate-like tine that is S-shaped in cross section. The tines are connected to upper shafts that extend upwardly and forwardly at inclined angles. Each tine has two elongated soil cultivating elements with front ends that engage the soil. The members are mounted in a transverse row and can be spaced apart from one another so that the distance between two neighboring members is greater than one third of the diameter of the working path of each member so that furrows are formed. The upper shaft ends mount pinions that can be in mesh with one another or an intermediate pinion within the frame portion so that neighboring shafts can be driven in the same or opposite directions. One of the shafts is extended up through the frame portion to a gear box housing a driven pinion engaged by a driving pinion on an input shaft. The input shaft is connectable to the p.t.o. of a tractor.
Abstract: A weeding machine for stalk crops includes a pair of driven rotors which are disposed on opposite sides of a row crop, such as cotton. Each rotor includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart spiral blades and a rearwardly positioned cone. The rotors are arranged in forwardly converging relation with respect to each other. Weeds and accumulating soil are impelled outwardly from the spaces between adjacent rotor blades, and the cone of each rotor serves to smooth the soil displaced by the rotors.
