A device for a soil cultivating machine, comprising:
- a rotor adapted to be rotatably mounted to the soil cultivating device;
- a plurality of tools interchangeably mounted on the rotor;
- each of the plurality of tools comprising a fixing end, a soil engaging portion, and a connecting portion which connects the fixing end to the soil engaging portion;
- each fixing end being movably mounted to the rotor via an axle;
- each soil engaging portion comprising a curved member having a leading edge;
- and
- a mechanism that applies a spring force against the fixing ends of the tools such that the fixing ends of the tools are biased against the rotor,
- wherein the fixing ends of the tools are arranged between the rotor and the mechanism.
A device for a soil cultivating machine, comprising:
- a rotor adapted to be rotatably mounted to the soil cultivating device;
- a plurality of tools interchangeably mounted on the rotor;
- each of the plurality of tools comprising a fixing end, a soil engaging portion, and a connecting portion which connects the fixing end to the soil engaging portion;
- each fixing end comprising a ring portion which is freely movably mounted to the rotor via an axle;
- each soil engaging portion arranged below the ring portion and comprising a plate like member having a leading edge;
- and
- a mechanism that applies a spring force against the ring portions of the tools such that the ring portions of the tools are biased against the rotor,
- wherein the ring portions of the tools are arranged between the rotor and the mechanism, and
- wherein each of the axles are oriented at an angle relative of a center axis of the rotor.
A tool for a soil cultivating machine having a rotor, the tool comprising:
- a fixing end comprising an upper space zone, a ring adapted to receive a journal axle, and a pivot axis;
- the fixing end being adapted to be pivotally and removably mounted to a rotor about the pivot axis;
- a connecting portion comprising an intermediate space zone which extends downwardly from the fixing end;
- and
- an active portion comprising a lower space zone and an approximately planar portion having a sharp leading edge,
- wherein the active portion projects towards a direction of rotation of a rotor when the tool is installed on a rotor,
- wherein the fixing portion extends from an upper end of the connecting portion and wherein the active portion extends from a lower end of the connecting portion, and
- wherein the fixing portion extends from one side of the connecting portion and wherein the active portion extends from another side of the connecting portion.
The tool of claim wherein when the tool is mounted on a rotor, a fixing flange is arranged to help retain the tool on a rotor.
