Abstract
A disc conditioner to work soil in a forward direction including a main support structure, a secondary support structure that protrudes from the main support structure in the forward direction, a main disc assembly affixed to the main support structure, and a secondary disc assembly that is affixed to the secondary support structure and protrudes from the main disc assembly in the forward direction. The secondary disc assembly generates an oscillating soil and residue flow along a central axis of the disc conditioner that levels the soil.
Claims18
A disc conditioner to work soil in a forward direction, comprising:
- a main disc assembly including:
- a main front disc assembly to pushes the soil towards a central axis, and
- a main back disc assembly positioned backwardly from the main front disc assembly to push the soil away from the central axis;
- and
- a secondary disc assembly to level and mix the soil around the central axis, the secondary disc assembly including:
- a secondary front disc pair positioned forwardly from the main front disc assembly to push the soil away from the central axis, and
- a secondary back disc pair positioned between the main front disc assembly and the main back disc assembly to push the soil towards the central axis.
A disc conditioner to work soil in a forward direction, comprising:
- a main disc assembly;
- and
- a secondary disc assembly that protrudes from the main disc assembly in the forward direction, wherein
- the secondary disc assembly generates an oscillating soil flow along a central axis of the disc conditioner that first pushes the soil away from the central axis and then towards the central axis to reduce residues and level the soil,
- the secondary disc assembly includes a secondary front disc pair to push the soil away from the central axis, and a secondary back disc pair positioned backwardly from the secondary front disc pair that receives the soil from the secondary front disc pair and pushes the soil towards the central axis, and
- the disc conditioner further comprises a secondary back blade pair positioned backwardly from the secondary back disc pair to receive the soil from the secondary back disc pair and levels the soil.
