Abstract
A cultivator has two elongated rotors rotatably mounted on horizontal axes and in driving engagement with driving means to work the soil at different depths. A forward rotor is secured to the frame and a ground engaging roller is mounted in front of the rotor. A rear rotor has a central multi-sided support on which spacer rings and soil working plates are slideably received. The rear rotor is vertically adjustable with respect to the forward rotor so that the soil can be worked at different layers in one pass.
Claims17
A cultivator comprising a frame and a first soil-working rotor of bar-like configuration rotatably mounted on said frame with driving means connected to said first rotor, a second soil-working rotor rotatably mounted on said cultivator in driving connection with said driving means, said first rotor having a polygonal periphery, said rotors being located one behind the other and rigid means for fixing the relative positions of said rotors on said frame to work soil at different depths and for positioning said first rotor substantially entirely below the surface of the ground to work sub-soil said first rotor having an effective diameter that is substantially smaller than that of said second rotor.
A cultivator comprising a frame and a first soil-working rotor of bar-like configuration rotatably mounted on said frame with driving means connected to said first rotor, a second soil-working rotor rotatably mounted on said cultivator in driving connection with said driving means, said first rotor comprising an elongated support and soil-working means being secured on said support, said rotors being rotatable on corresponding horizontal axes and located one behind the other, rigid means for fixing the relative positions of said rotors on said frame to work soil at different depths and for positioning said first rotor substantially entirely below the surface of the ground to work sub-soil, said first rotor having an effective diameter that is substantially smaller than that of said second rotor.
A cultivator comprising a frame and a first soil-working rotor of bar-like configuration rotatably mounted on said frame with driving means connected to said first rotor, a second soil-working rotor rotatably mounted on said cultivator in driving connection with said driving means, said first rotor comprising an elongated substantially horizontal support and soil-working means being releasably secured on said support, said first rotor being located behind the second rotor and rigid means for fixing the relative positions of said rotors on said frame to work soil at different depths and for positioning said first rotor substantially entirely below the surface of the ground to work sub-soil, said first rotor having an effective diameter that is substantially smaller than that of said second rotor.
A cultivator comprising a frame and a first soil-working rotor of bar-like configuration rotatably mounted on said frame with driving means connected to said first rotor, a second soil-working rotor rotatably mounted on said cultivator in driving connection with said driving means, said first rotor comprising an elongated support with soil-working means being releasably secured on said support and said rotors being rotatable about corresponding substantially horizontal axes, said rotors being located one behind the other, said first rotor being connected to said frame by pivotable arm means and said arm means being settable to position said first rotor substantially entirely below the surface of the ground to work sub-soil, said second rotor including central support means that is journalled to said frame.
