Claims13
An equipment system for agricultural ground soil preparation, comprising:
- a vertically adjustable frame unit, having a trestle-type frame part including a bearing frame for coupling the frame unit to a traction vehicle by a lifting rod assembly or a three-point rod assembly and including a supporting frame, the trestle-type frame part being fixedly arranged at an undercarriage with support wheels;
- a rotary device with dovetailing prongs, driven by a power take-off shaft, for producing a soil stream, having a bearing frame with receiving parts for coupling the rotary device to the frame unit, wherein the bearing frame of the rotary device is locked without play in all directions with respect to the frame unit;
- a sowing machine with vertically adjustable seed delivery pipes adapted to be mounted behind one another in two rows which follow one another in transverse direction, for delivering seeds into the soil stream produced by the rotary device, having a bearing frame adapted for mounting behind the rotary device, and also being adapted for mounting to the bearing frame of the frame unit;
- a clod breaker, having a bearing frame which is adapted to be mounted on either the bearing frame of the frame unit, the bearing frame of the rotary device via separate connecting points on the bearing frame of rotary device, or on the bearing frame of the sowing machine, and which can be pivotably adjusted around a transverse axis;
- vertically adjustable plow accessories, adapted to be mounted on the undercarriage of the frame unit or in front of the rotary device;
- and
- a mat-type curtain for guiding the soil stream to the ground behind the seed delivery pipes.
