Abstract
A rod weeder with a support beam pivotally movable mounted to the connecting structure such that the same is enabled to oscillate about an axis through a centre pivot and oriented parallel to a forward moving direction of the implement. Optionally, the rod weeder may comprise a down-pressure adjusting mechanism having the hydraulic cylinder mounted thereto for enabling selection of different down-pressures exerted onto the rod.
Claims19
A rod weeder comprising:
- a. a mounting structure adapted for being mounted to a tractor or larger farm implement;
- b. a support frame pivotally movable mounted to the mounting structure at a first end thereof;
- c. a connecting structure mounted to a second end of the support frame;
- d. a support beam having a rod and drive means for rotating the rod mounted thereto, the support beam being pivotally movable mounted to the connecting structure such that the same is enabled to oscillate about an axis through a centre pivot and oriented parallel to a forward moving direction of the rod weeder.
