Abstract
An agricultural tillage implement has a disk frame assembly connected to a pull hitch extending in a travel direction with frame members extending generally laterally with respect to the travel direction. At least one disk blade is connected to and supported by the frame members to till soil over which the agricultural tillage implement traverses. A disk scraper mounting member is connected to at least one frame member. A channel shaped disk scraper is connected to the disk scraper mounting member using a bolted joint connection. The channel shaped disk scraper has a square mounting end adjoining an inner perpendicular surface of the disk scraper mounting member. The channel shaped disk scraper is operable to scrape residue from the at least one disk blade and deflect it away from the travel direction.
Claims10
A disk scraper assembly for an agricultural tillage implement, said agricultural tillage implement having a disk frame assembly connected to a pull hitch extending in a travel direction, the disk frame assembly having at least one frame member extending generally laterally with respect to the travel direction, the disk assembly comprising:
- at least one pair of disk blades connected to and supported by the at least one frame member, each disk blade operably connected to and supported by the at least one frame member so that the at least one pair of disk blades are positioned to till soil over which the agricultural tillage implement traverses;
- at least one disk scraper mounting member connected to the at least one frame member;
- and
- at least one disk scraper connected to the at least one disk scraper mounting member using a bolted joint connection, the at least one disk scraper having an end connected to a surface of the at least one disk scraper mounting member, the at least one disk scraper positioned and extending between the at least one pair of disk blades, the at least one disk scraper operable to simultaneously scrape residue from one surface of each disk blade of the at least one pair of disk blades and deflect it away from the travel direction, wherein an end of the at least one disk scraper is configured to extend no lower than a central shaft which extends through each disk blade.
