Abstract: A mount for carrying a plurality of field-conditioning implements selected from trash whipping implements, rolling baskets and coulters for connection to a planter or other multi-row implement is disclosed. A height and force adjustable mounting system is also disclosed that enables the force of such an implement on the soil to be modulated as desired.

Abstract: The combination of a rolling basket tillage implement and a seed distribution implement is disclosed. A height-adjustable mounting system for a rolling basket soil tillage implement is also disclosed for use with a planter that enables such an implement to be raised above the soil as needed to avoid wet conditions.

Abstract: A shank and replaceable tip of a ground working implement are defined from flat plate which is cut by laser or similar or is stamped to provide interconnecting elements between the replaceable tip and the lower end of the shank. At the lower end of the shank is provided a pocket defined by a recess cut into the lower end and a pair of plates welded on respective sides of the flat plate so that the projection of the replaceable tip extends into the pocket to hold the tip in place. This allows a rugged construction of the tip and various designs of tip can be manufactured simply by reprogramming the cutting process. A guide surface is mounted on the front plate of the shank with that guide surface defining a channel member with a leading edge increasing in radius of curvature from the lower end of the shank upwardly to a top of the guide surface spaced upwardly from the ground. This increase in width of the guide surface assists in discarding trash.

Abstract: An improved ripper tiller implement is described which utilizes novel shank members including a soil fracturing member on the lower end of the shank. A replaceable shoe member may also be used on the shank.

Abstract: Plowshares and double moldboards which form listers are attached to shanks connected to a toolbar or frame drafted behind a towing vehicle. Rotatable stabilizing discs, or colters, are rigidly affixed to the shanks behind the moldboards and plowshares. The discs engage solid soil behind the moldboards, thereby impeding lateral movements of the plowshares and moldboards and stabilizing the listers.
