Abstract
An agricultural tillage implement has a disk frame assembly connected to a pull hitch extending in a travel direction with frame members extending generally laterally with respect to the travel direction. At least one disk blade is connected to and supported by the frame members to till soil over which the agricultural tillage implement traverses. A disk scraper mounting member is connected to at least one frame member. A channel shaped disk scraper is connected to the disk scraper mounting member using a bolted joint connection. The channel shaped disk scraper has a square mounting end adjoining an inner perpendicular surface of the disk scraper mounting member. The channel shaped disk scraper is operable to scrape residue from the at least one disk blade and deflect it away from the travel direction.

An agricultural tillage implement, comprising:
- a disk frame assembly connected to a pull hitch extending in a travel direction;
- said disk frame assembly having at least one frame member extending generally laterally with respect to the travel direction;
- at least one pair of disk blades, each disk blade including a convex surface near an edge on one side and a concave surface near the edge on an opposite side, wherein each disk blade is operably connected to and supported by the at least one frame member so that the at least one pair of disk blades are positioned to till soil over which the agricultural tillage implement traverses;
- at least one disk scraper mounting member connected to the at least one frame member;
- and
- at least one disk scraper connected to the at least one disk scraper mounting member using a bolted joint connection, the at least one disk scraper having a square mounting end adjoining an inner perpendicular surface of the at least one disk scraper mounting member, the at least one disk scraper positioned between the pair of disk blades such that the disk scraper extends between the at least one pair of disk blades, the disk scraper positioned near the convex surface of one disk blade and near the concave surface of the other disk blade, the at least one disk scraper operable to scrape residue from the pair of disk blades and to deflect it away from the travel direction.
