  • Patent number: 8919267
    Abstract: A seeder implement (125) includes a fork (146) having a first spindle support arm (150) that supports a first spindle (164) and a second spindle support arm (152) that supports a second spindle (168). A first disk (160) is supported on the first spindle (164), wherein the first spindle (164) is oriented in a first orientation and at a first acute angle relative to a lateral line. The first disk (160) is oriented at a second acute angle relative to the ground surface. A second disk (166) is supported on the second spindle (168), wherein the second spindle (168) is oriented in a second orientation and at a third acute angle relative to the lateral line. The second disk (166) is oriented at a fourth acute angle relative to the ground surface. The first disk (160) is longitudinally offset ahead of the second disk (166), and there are no structural components between the first and second disks (160, 166) other than the first and second spindles (164, 168).

  • Patent number: 5743341
    Abstract: Integral hitch and standard mounting structure for a toolbar includes a first embodiment having a hitch tube connected to a three point hitch and to a rear toolbar. Brackets located a substantial distance outwardly of the hitch connect the hitch tube to the toolbar in parallel, rearwardly offset relationship to provide sufficient space between the tube and toolbar for lateral adjustment of tool brackets. Upright plate structure fixed relative to the front face of the toolbar has slotted extensions which project above and below the toolbar. Tool standard mounting bracket structure includes an upper L-shaped member having a horizontal leg positioned against the top of the toolbar and an upstanding bolt-receiving leg positioned against the upper slotted extension. A lower L-shaped member having a downturned bolt-receiving leg is fixed to the top of the tool standard and is positioned against the bottom of the toolbar and against the lower slotted extension.
