Abstract: A terracing attachment assembly is used with a moldboard plow movable in a forward direction across a field. The plow includes a plurality of moldboard plow bottoms supported below the plow frame in a spaced apart and laterally staggered relation along the direction of forward movement. The terracing attachment assembly includes a plurality of elongated blades being one less in number than the number of plow bottoms and a plurality of mounting components adjustably attaching the blades to the plow frame in generally transverse relation to the direction of forward movement and adjacent to given ones of the plow bottoms other than a lead one thereof.
Abstract: A plow debris deflector for attachment to plows is disclosed. The plow debris deflector improves trash flow, buries stalks, stems, leaves and other debris without discing and requires low maintenance while providing excellent soil rotation and burying cover crops, trash, litter and other debris eight to ten inches beneath the surface of the soil. The plow debris deflector may include a first vertical portion having a mounting mechanism for mounting the plow debris deflector to a moldboard plow. The mounting mechanism may include a plow connecting slot so the debris deflector may be interchangeably mounted to a variety of plows. A lower portion of the plow debris deflector may be custom designed to complement the shape of the plow to which it is attached. The plow debris deflector includes a second horizontal portion, which may include a curved and twisted plate member for deflecting stalks and stems of various heights.
Abstract: Relates to a protective guard or shield for covering the wear area of the moldboard of a plow. The shin member of the plow assembly is provided with an integrally connected rearward extension which overlies the most serious wear area of the moldboard. The shin extension is not bolted or otherwise fastened to the moldboard but relies on a shoulder formed on the back side of the shin for engagement with the leading edge of the moldboard and the provision of a plurality of spaced apart projections on the face of the extension confronting the moldboard for bearing support thereon. The shin and its extension may be used to cover the worn area of a used moldboard or to protect such area of a new moldboard. In the latter case the projections may be ground down to provide surface contact between the shin extension and the moldboard. The shin and its extension are preferably formed of a stainless steel alloy and cast in one piece.
