Abstract
A reversible plow comprising a three point hitch, a pivotally mounted tool bar provided with a plurality of adjustable plow gangs, and gauge wheels wherein said tool bar can be shifted from left of center to right of center, and back, by a hydraulic piston such that the plowed ground can be directed in a desired direction.
Claims14
A reversible plow of the type having a frame, an elongated tool bar pivotally secured to said frame for swinging about a vertical axis, support means for supporting a bidirectional moldboard suspended from said tool bar wherein said bidirectional moldboard is arcuate about a horizontal axis, and an arcuate moldboard wear plate conforming in shape to and removably secured to a front earth engaging surface of said moldboard, said moldboard plate being reversible so that it is selectively received on said moldboard in either of two positions.
A plow of the type having a frame, a tool bar pivotally supported by its intermediate portion on said frame for swinging about a vertical axis, and a plurality of moldboards supported in spaced relationship therealong, the improvement comprising a pair of forward wheels protruding from said frame for engaging the ground, a rear wheel protruding from the rear end portion of said tool bar for engaging the ground rearwardly of said front wheels and support means for said rear wheel, said support means being pivotable for disposing said wheel for travel along a ground in a path parallel to the path of said front wheels, a pair of markers protruding sidewise from the rear end portion of said tool bar which are movable for selectively engaging the ground for selectively making a mark adjacent to the path of travel of said plow.
A plow comprising a frame, a tool bar pivotally mounted in said frame for pivoting about a vertical axis, moldboards carried by said tool bar, said moldboards being spaced along the length of said tool bar for engaging the ground beneath said tool bar, longitudinally extending pivot means secured along a central longitudinal axis of said frame, transversely extending bar mounted on said pivot means, an upstanding hitch secured to said transverse bar and generally vertically aligned with said longitudinal axis, said hitch being adapted to be secured to the central hitch of a tractor, hitch means on opposite sides of said first mentioned hitch and secured to said transverse bar, and hydraulic means extending between said frame and said transverse bar for pivotally moving said frame with respect to said transverse bar.
A plow comprising a frame, a tool bar pivotally mounted in said frame for pivoting about a vertical axis, and moldboards carried by said tool bar, said moldboards being spaced along the length of said tool bar for engaging the ground beneath said tool bar, longitudinally extending pivot means secured along a central longitudinal axis of said frame, a transverse bar mounted on said pivot means, an upstanding hitch secured to said transverse bar and generally vertically aligned with said longitudinal axis, said hitch being adapted to be secured to the central hitch of a tractor and hitch means on opposite sides of said first mentioned hitch and secured to said transverse bar, and hydraulic means extending between said frame and said transverse bar for pivotally moving said frame with respect to said transverse bar said hydraulic means including a hydraulic cylinder.
A reversible plow of the type having a frame, a tool bar pivotally mounted to said frame for swinging from one position to another about a vertical axis of said frame, said tool bar having a portion thereof protruding rearwardly of said frame, a boom mounted on said rearwardly extending portion of said tool bar and protruding rearwardly therefrom and a wheel pivotally mounted on said boot, means for pivotally mounting said boom to said tool bar, means for incrementally adjusting the pivotal position of said boom with respect to said tool bar, a pair of markers pivotally carried by said boom, said markers being spaced from each other, and means for pivoting said markers so that one marker selectively engages the ground as the plow is moved for plowing action.
A plow for being towed by a tractor comprising a frame, a tool bar pivotally mounted in said frame for pivoting about a generally vertical axis, moldboards carried by said tool bar, said moldboards being spaced along the length of said tool bar for engaging the ground beneath said tool bar, central pivot means secured along a central longitudinal axis of said frame, a transverse bar mounted by its central portion to said pivot means, spaced side hitches on said transverse bar for hitching to the side hitches of said tractor, and tilt arcuating connected between said frame and said transverse bar for tilting the bar and the frame with respect to each other whereby the frame is selectively tilted to the left side or the right side about said central longitudinal axis with respect to said transverse bar.
