Abstract
A bracket for use with an agriculture planter including a trailing arm frame defining a pivot point thereon may include an arm bracket assembly with first and second arms. Each arm may extend from a middle portion of the bracket. First and second implements may be rotatably mounted on mounting ends of two of the arms. The middle portion of the bracket may be pivotally coupled to the trailing arm frame at the pivot point.
Claims20
A bracket assembly for use with an agricultural planter, the bracket assembly comprising:
- a lever arm bracket having a pivoting connection to the agricultural planter, the bracket including:
- at least a first arm and a second arm with the first arm and the second arm joined to a middle portion of the bracket;
- a first mounting positioned proximal to an end of the first arm and configured to rotatably and selectively receive a first implement including at least one of a furrow closer wheel or a disc;
- a second mounting positioned proximal to an end of the second arm and configured to rotatably receive a second implement;
- and
- a pivot located on the middle portion that is pivotably connected to the agricultural planter.
A lever arm bracket for use with a trailing arm assembly of an agricultural planter, comprising:
- at least a first arm and a second arm with the first and second arms joined to a middle portion;
- a first mounting positioned proximal to an end of the first arm and configured to rotatably and selectively receive a first rotating implement;
- a second mounting positioned proximal to an end of the second arm and configured to rotatably receive a second rotating implement;
- and
- a pivot located on the middle portion that is pivotably connected to the agricultural planter.
A bracket for use with an agricultural planter comprising a trailing arm assembly defining a pivot axis, the bracket comprising:
- at least a first arm and a second arm joined to a middle portion of the bracket;
- a first mounting extending forwardly from the first arm and configured to rotatably and selectively receive a furrow closer wheel;
- and
- a second mounting extending rearwardly from the second arm and configured to rotatably receive a press wheel;
- wherein:
- the bracket is configured so that when the bracket is joined to the trailing arm assembly, a displacement of the closer wheel causes a pivoted displacement of the press wheel;
- the displacement of the closer wheel is in a first direction;
- and
- the bracket is configured so that when the bracket is joined to the trailing arm assembly, the displacement of the closer wheel in the first direction causes a pivoted displacement of the press wheel in a second direction opposite the first direction.
