Soil-working device having an overload protection means

Soil-working device, which is moved mechanically in a direction of travel over a soil surface of an agricultural field to be worked and is equipped with tools for loosening or cutting the soil surface, wherein the tools are disposed on a frame perpendicularly to the direction of travel of the soil-working device next to one another and in one or several rows one behind the other spaced with stalks, wherein the stalks are disposed respectively via at least one transverse axis vertically pivotably on the frame, wherein between stalk and frame is disposed an overload protection device, which consists of at least one energy storage device and a depth stop, wherein the depth stop defines the working position of the tool and the energy storage device facilitates a pivoting movement of the stalk out of a working position into an upper overload protection position when the tool impacts on an obstacle in the soil, and a returning of the stalk into working position when the obstacle has been passed, wherein the energy storage device in the working position is preloaded with a basic energy or basic force,

• wherein
• also an energy storage device is assigned to the depth stop, which when the stalk abuts on the depth stop generates or allows a movement of the stalk out of the working position into a lower overload protection position and after the abutment generates or allows a returning of the stalk into a working position.
