Abstract
An apparatus for clearing trash from a soil surface, the apparatus being configured to be mounted on a towable frame support and driven across the soil surface in a direction of travel (“D”), the apparatus comprising: a bearing housing; and a soil-engaging member rotatably mounted to the support, wherein the soil-engaging member is oriented to rotate about an axis (“A”) tilted from a perpendicular to the soil surface (“B”) by an acute angle (Φ1) towards one lateral side relative to the direction of travel (“D”), whereby contact between the soil-engaging member and the soil surface induces rotation of the soil-engaging member around the axis (“A”).

An apparatus for clearing trash from a soil surface, the apparatus being configured to be mounted on a towable frame support and driven across the soil surface in a direction of travel, the apparatus comprising:
- a support;
- and
- a soil-engaging member rotatably mounted to the support, wherein the soil-engaging member is oriented to rotate about an axis tilted from a perpendicular to the soil surface by an acute angle towards one lateral side relative to the direction of travel, whereby contact between the soil-engaging member and the soil surface induces rotation of the soil-engaging member around the axis.
