Abstract
A tillage point replacement system includes a base operable to mount to a shank and including a first tapered coupling member. A wear surface member is provided that includes a second tapered coupling member operable to couple the wear surface member directly to the base by engaging the first tapered coupling member. The base may be mounted to a shank which is coupled to an agricultural tillage implement. The tillage point system allows the provision of a variety of different wear surfaces for use with a single base and/or the provision of a variety of different bases for use with a single wear surface.

A tillage point replacement system comprising:
- a base operable to mount to a shank and including a first tapered coupling member;
- and
- a wear surface member including a second tapered coupling member operable to couple the wear surface member directly to the base by engaging the first tapered coupling member.
A tillage apparatus comprising:
- a shank;
- and
- a tillage point system coupled to the shank comprising:
- a base mounted to the shank and including a first tapered coupling member;
- and
- a wear surface member including a second tapered coupling member operable to couple the wear surface member directly to the base by engaging the first tapered coupling member.
A tillage apparatus comprising:
- an agricultural tillage implement;
- a shank mounted to the agricultural tillage implement;
- and
- a tillage point system coupled to the shank comprising:
- a base mounted to the shank and including a first tapered coupling member;
- and
- a wear surface member including a second tapered coupling member operable to couple the wear surface member directly to the base by engaging the first tapered coupling member.
A method for providing a replaceable tillage point comprising:
- providing a base including a first tapered coupling member;
- providing a wear surface member including a second tapered coupling member;
- and
- coupling the wear surface directly to the base by engaging the first tapered coupling member and the second tapered coupling member.
