Abstract
An improved disc-type ground tillage implement for tilling ground. The implement has a frame connectable to a towing machine and having multiple pairs of gangs of blades connected to the frame. The frame is supported by a plurality of wheels which may be used to raise and lower the implement in relation to the ground. Each of the pairs of blade gangs includes a front and a rear gang, there being a pair of outer right blade gangs, at least one pair of center blade gangs and a pair of outer left blade gangs. The front and the rear gangs of the outer right and the outer left gang pairs converge as they extend out away from the left-right center of the frame and the outer left and outer right gangs are non-continuous with a center gang pair.

A disc-type ground tillage implement for tilling ground having a frame with a left-right center, the frame being connectable to a towing machine and having multiple gangs of blades connected to the frame, the implement also including a plurality of wheels connected to the frame for supporting and for raising and lowering said frame in relation to the ground, the implement comprising:
- a plurality of pairs of blade gangs connected to the frame for tilling the ground wherein each gang pair includes a front and a rear gang, there being a pair of outer right blade gangs, at least one pair of center blade gangs and a pair of outer left blade gangs, wherein the front and the rear gangs of each of the outer right and the outer left gang pairs converge as they extend out away from the left-right center of the frame and wherein the outer left and outer right gangs are non-continuous with the at least one pair of center blade gangs.
A disc-type ground tillage device, comprising:
- a frame with a left-right center;
- a plurality of wheels connected to the frame for supporting said frame;
- a plurality of pairs of gangs of blades suspended from the frame, including at least two pair of center blade gangs connected to the frame and each pair of gangs extending from about the left-right center outwardly therefrom to an outer end, each center gang pair having a front and a rear gang, said front and rear center gangs diverging as they extend from the left-right center;
- and
- a left gang pair having a front and a rear gang, wherein at least one gang of the left gang pair extends from the center gangs, and wherein the left gang pair converges as the gangs of the left gang pair extend outwardly from the left-right center;
- and
- a right gang pair having a front and a rear gang, wherein at least one gang of the left gang pair extends from the center gangs, and wherein the right gang pair converges as the gangs of the right gang pair extend outwardly from the left-right center.
