US Patent:

8074729, Dec 13, 2011
Filed:

Nov 28, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/946310
Inventors:

Michael George Kovach - Morton IL, US
Tracey Duane Meiners - Mackinaw IL, US
Dean Alan Knobloch - Goodfield IL, US
Gaylen James Kromminga - Morton IL, US
Gregory S. Smart - Morton IL, US
Assignee:

CNH America LLC - Racine WI
International Classification:

A01B 49/00
US Classification:

172311, 172170, 172579
Abstract:

A vertical tilling implement to be pulled behind and agricultural vehicle having a number of gangs of fluted-concave disc blades, rolling baskets, and wheels connected to a main frame. As the vertical tilling implement is pulled, the fluted-concave disc blades move the soil in a direction lateral to the side of the blades as well as up. Meanwhile, the rolling bars aid in leveling the seedbed and crushing the remaining large pieces of soil. The vertical tilling implement reduces the amount of subsoil compaction and cuts through heavy residue making it ideal for use in the fall or in the spring.
