A tip for a seeding tool is disclosed. The tip includes a knife portion and a wing portion extending rearwardly and laterally outwardly from one side of the knife portion. An underside of the wing portion includes a levelling portion configured to be parallel to ground in operation and extending laterally from an interior edge to an exterior edge of the wing portion, the interior edge extending substantially in a direction of travel of the tip in operation. An underside of the knife portion includes a recess with respect to the levelling portion, the recess extending adjacent the interior edge rearwardly until a rear edge of the knife portion. In operation, the tip creates a furrow having a first surface at a first depth formed by the recess and a second surface at a second depth formed by the levelling portion, the second depth being greater than the first depth.
A system for connecting tines to a rotor of a tilling machine is disclosed. The system includes an adaptor for mounting to the rotor, a tine for coupling to the adaptor by insertion into the aperture, and a locking element movably coupled to one of the adaptor and the tine, the locking element movable into a locking position to engage the other of the adaptor and the tine when in the coupling position to resist removal of the tine from the coupling position. A corresponding method is also disclosed. A tine for connecting to a rotor of a tilling machine is also disclosed.
A01B 33/14 - Attaching the tools to the rotating shaft, e.g. resiliently-attached tools
A01B 71/00 - Construction or arrangement of setting or adjusting mechanisms, of implement or tool drive or of power take-offMeans for protecting parts against dust, or the likeAdapting machine elements to or for agricultural purposes
A threshing pin for use with a threshing cylinder of a harvesting machine is disclosed. The pin has an attachment portion for attaching the pin to the threshing cylinder, and a threshing portion extending from the attachment portion for contacting the material to be threshed, wherein the threshing portion includes a recess in an outer surface of the threshing portion, the recess being occupied by a wear life-extending material. A corresponding method is also disclosed.

Greasable idler pulleys and related kits and methods are disclosed. The greasable idler pulley has a rotating body, a bearing, to enable the rotating body to rotate with respect to a shaft, and grease fitting defined through the rotating body. The rotating body may have a bearing seal cap having an orifice and a rotator. The grease fitting may be in fluid communication with the bearing through the orifice in the bearing seal cap. Kits are also contemplated, such as a kit for retrofitting a non-regreasable idler pulley including a rotator to a regreasable idler pulley. Methods may include methods of producing a regreasable idler pulley from a non-regreasable idler pulley.

F16C 19/26 - Bearings with rolling contact, for exclusively rotary movement with bearing rollers essentially of the same size in one or more circular rows, e.g. needle bearings for radial load mainly with a single row of rollers
F16H 57/04 - Features relating to lubrication or cooling
An implement for clipping weeds in a field, where the weeds are standing taller than the crop. The implement comprises a plurality of rotatable blades on a frame, with variable height adjustment means to elevate the frame and position the blades above the crop but at a level sufficient to clip the upper portions of the weeds, The blades are powered by PTO-driven shaft segments, the segments connected by U-joints, wherein the implement further comprises alignment means for aligning the U-joints so that the frame can be folded for transport without damaging the shafts or U-joints.
A01B 39/18 - Other machines specially adapted for working soil on which crops are growing for special purposes for weeding
A01B 73/04 - Folding frames foldable about a horizontal axis
A01D 34/66 - MowersMowing apparatus of harvesters characterised by features relating to the type of cutting apparatus having rotating cutters having cutters rotating about a vertical axis mounted on a vehicle, e.g. a tractor, or drawn by an animal or a vehicle with two or more cutters
A01D 75/30 - Arrangements for trailing two or more harvesters or mowers
A01B 63/22 - Lifting or adjusting devices or arrangements for agricultural machines or implements for implements drawn by animals or tractors with wheels adjustable relatively to the frame operated by hydraulic or pneumatic means
