Description
- This invention is in the field of agricultural implements and in particular a trash clearing apparatus and method for agricultural implements, such as seeders.
- Excessive crop residue or trash left on a field after a crop is harvested can hamper field operations. Often it is required to turn the residue under the soil with a disc or plow in order to conduct field operations. It is also common to harrow the field to spread the crop residue evenly to facilitate field operations. It has also been known to burn the residue off the field or chop the residue with a rotary mower. Such discing, harrowing, and chopping is costly, and burning is harmful to the environment, and also wasteful of plant nutrients present in the crop residue.
- Recently as well, minimum or zero tillage farming practices have become popular to preserve moisture and reduce erosion. In such practices no tillage is done to turn crop residues under the soil, and residue management has become increasingly important in agriculture.
- Seeding implements generally include a ground engaging furrow opener mounted on the bottom end of a shank extending down from a seeding implement frame. Where the furrow opener is a knife or hoe type opener, the furrow opener is pulled through the soil to create a furrow, and crop residue flows around the shank. Longer crop residue pieces such as straws and vines are problematic as they often will hang on the shank with a portion dragging along on each side of the shank. These dragging pieces tend to pick up more pieces such that a sizable clump of residue can grow on the shank, increasing draft and interfering with penetration of the furrow opener into the ground. Often the seeder must be raised to clear the residue, and sometimes the clumps must be manually removed.
- In addition to seeding, other ground engaging tools such as cultivator shovels are used in cultivation of agricultural fields, and are subject as well to residue build up on shanks mounting the tools to the implement frame.
- Where the furrow opener is a rotating disc, the residue does not build up on the shank because the disc rolls over heavy residue, interfering with disc penetration and seed placement.
- For these reasons various trash clearing mechanisms have been developed to clear residue off a path along the ground ahead of the furrow opener, for example such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,640,914 to Rawson and 5,477,792 to Bassett et al. Such mechanisms provide one or more spoked wheels or discs running at an angle ahead of the furrow opener and kicking the residue to the side. U.S. Pat. No. 6,345,671 to Siemens et al. discloses a fingered wheel located adjacent to the furrow opener that pins crop residue to the ground surface and prevents the residue from lodging on the shank.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide shank residue clearing for agricultural implements that overcomes problems in the prior art.
- In a first embodiment the present invention provides a residue clearing apparatus for a shank of an agricultural implement. The apparatus comprises a spoked wheel adapted for attachment to the implement such that the spoked wheel rotates about a wheel axis oriented substantially horizontal and perpendicular to an operating travel direction of the implement and forward of the shank. The spoked wheel is oriented such that ends of spokes of the spoked wheel are above the ground forward of the shank, and such that the ends of the spokes of the spoked wheel are located adjacent to a front face of the shank. A drive is operative to rotate the spoked wheel.
- In a second embodiment the present invention provides an agricultural implement apparatus comprising an implement frame mounted for movement along the ground in an operating travel direction, a shank extending downward from the implement frame, and a ground engaging tool mounted on a bottom end of the shank. A spoked wheel is rotatably attached to the implement frame such that the spoked wheel rotates about a wheel axis oriented substantially horizontal and perpendicular to the operating travel direction of the implement frame and forward of the shank. The spoked wheel is oriented such that ends of spokes of the spoked wheel are above the ground forward of the shank, and such that the ends of the spokes of the spoked wheel are located adjacent to a front face of the shank. A drive is operative to rotate the spoked wheel.
- In a third embodiment the present invention provides a method of reducing buildup of crop residue on a shank of an agricultural implement comprising an implement frame mounted for movement along the ground in an operating travel direction, a shank extending downward from the implement frame, and a ground engaging tool mounted on a bottom end of the shank. The method comprises rotatably attaching a spoked wheel to the implement frame such that the spoked wheel rotates about a wheel axis oriented substantially horizontal and perpendicular to the operating travel direction of the implement frame and forward of the shank, and rotating the spoked wheel such that ends of spokes of the spoked wheel pass above the ground forward of the shank, and such that the ends of the spokes of the spoked wheel pass along and adjacent to a front face of the shank.
- The invention provides an effective mechanism for preventing buildup of residue on a shank by providing spokes that move along the face of the shank to contact residue and move it upward off the shank before problematic clumps can form on the shank. It is contemplated that the spokes could also rotate so they move downward with respect to the shanks, moving the residue forward off the shank.
- While the invention is claimed in the concluding portions hereof, preferred embodiments are provided in the accompanying detailed description which may be best understood in conjunction with the accompanying diagrams where like parts in each of the several diagrams are labeled with like numbers, and where:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of an embodiment of a residue clearing apparatus of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a schematic side view of the embodiment ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a schematic front perspective view of an alternate embodiment of a residue clearing apparatus of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a schematic side view of the embodiment ofFIG. 3 . -
FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate an embodiment of an agricultural implement apparatus 1 of the present invention. The apparatus comprises animplement frame 3 mounted for movement along the ground in an operating travel direction T. Ashank 5 extends downward from theimplement frame 3, and a groundengaging tool 7 is mounted on a bottom end of theshank 5. - A spoked
wheel 9 is rotatably attached to theimplement frame 3 such that thespoked wheel 9 rotates about a wheel axis WA oriented substantially horizontal and perpendicular to the operating travel direction T and forward of theshank 5. Thespoked wheel 9 comprises a plurality ofspokes 11 extending from acentral wheel portion 13. In order to reduce breakage and stress on the spokedwheel 9, thespokes 11 are resiliently mounted to thecentral wheel portion 13 such that thespokes 11 can flex with respect to thecentral wheel portion 13. Spring teeth, such as are used on agricultural equipment for picking hay and like off the ground, provide a convenient and economical resiliently mounted spoke. - The
spoked wheel 9 is oriented such that the ends of thespokes 11 are above theground 15 forward of theshank 5, and such that the ends of thespokes 11 are located adjacent to thefront face 5F of theshank 5. Adrive 17 is operative to rotate the spokedwheel 9. - In the illustrated apparatus 1, the
shank 5 is mounted to theimplement frame 3 by abracket 19 extending laterally from an upper portion of theshank 5. Thedrive 17 is operative to rotate thespoked wheel 9 in a rearward direction R such that the ends of thespokes 11 move upward adjacent to thefront face 5F of theshank 5. Because the shank is mounted offset by thebracket 19, the top of theshank 5 is open such that residue dragging on theshank 5 and contacted by thespokes 11 is moved upward and rearward over a top end of theshank 5. Theshank 5 is also oriented as illustrated to slope rearward and upward from the groundengaging tool 7, so that the residue flows more readily up thefront face 5F of theshank 5. - It is also contemplated that the
drive 17 could be operative to rotate thespoked wheel 9 in an opposite forward direction F such that the ends of thespokes 11 move downward adjacent to thefront face 5F of theshank 5 such that residue dragging on theshank 5 and contacted by thespokes 11 is moved downward and forward off theshank 5. With the spoked wheel rotating in the forward direction F, theshank 5 can be a conventional shank instead of the illustratedoffset shank 5, since the residue is moved forward off the shank and does not need to pass over the top end of the shank, which conventionally is attached to the implement frame so that the residue cannot pass freely over the top end thereof. - It is contemplated that with such a forward rotation increased power will be required to drive the spoked wheel since the spokes will be moving against the flow of the residue as opposed to the case where the spoked wheel rotates rearward and the spokes move with the flow of the residue. The spoked wheel may also need to rotate at increased speed.
- The schematically illustrated apparatus 1 is of the type where the
implement frame 3 moves down to engage thetool 7 in theground 15, or up to raise the tool out of the ground. The spokedwheel 9 andshank 5 are fixed to the implementframe 3 and are thus maintained in the same orientation as theimplement frame 3 moves up and down. The spokedwheel 9 will be located so that when the ground engaging tool is in the deepest contemplated position, the ends of the spokes will be one to two inches above theground 15. As seen inFIG. 2 , the spoked wheel will be located so the ends of thespokes 11 will typically be closest to thefront face 5F of theshank 5 at the upper portion of the shank. - In another popular type of seeding implement, the frame remains at a fixed height above the ground, and the shanks are moved up and down individually, typically by individual hydraulic cylinders on each shank assembly.
FIGS. 3-4 schematically illustrate anagricultural implement apparatus 101 of the present invention where theshank 105 is mounted on atrailing arm 125 with apacker wheel 127 rotatably mounted to the rear end thereof in alignment with theshank 105. - A
drive shaft 129 is mounted to theimplement frame 103 and is rotatable about a shaft axis SA oriented substantially horizontally and perpendicular to the operating travel direction T. Thespoked wheel 109 comprises acentral wheel portion 113 fixed to thedrive shaft 129, and spring teeth providing thespokes 111. Thedrive 117 is illustrated as a ground drive comprising achain 131 driven by aground wheel 133 of the implement and connected to asprocket 135 on the end of thedrive shaft 129 such that theground wheel 133 rotates thedrive shaft 129 and thespoked wheel 109. Thus while it is contemplated that other arrangements would work as well, in theillustrated apparatus 101 the shaft axis SA coincides with the wheel axis WA. - The trailing
arm 125 comprises a pair ofarm segments 137 connected at front ends thereof to thedrive shaft 129 bybearings 139 such that the trailingarm 125 can pivot up and down with respect to thedrive shaft 129. Thedrive shaft 129 is designed to have sufficient strength to support the front ends of the trailingarm segments 137. - The
shank 105 is mounted to the trailingarm 125 by abracket 141 extending laterally from an upper portion of theshank 105 to the trailingarm 125. In the illustrated embodiment thebracket 141 extends laterally between thearm segments 137 and theshank 105 extends downward from thebracket 141 forward of thepacker wheel 127 mounted on the rear end of the trailingarm 125. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , a bias element, provided byhydraulic cylinder 143, is connected to the implementframe 103 and is operative to exert a downward bias force on the trailingarm 125 when the implement is working to force thefurrow opener 107 at the bottom of theshank 105 into the ground, and allow the trailingarm 125 to move up and down to follow the terrain of a field. Thehydraulic cylinder 143 also serves to raise the trailingarm 125 to a transport position where thefurrow opener 107 andpacker wheel 127 are above the ground. The upperlateral frame member 145 to which thehydraulic cylinder 143 is mounted is removed inFIG. 3 to allow clearer illustration of thespoked wheel 109 and attachment of the trailingarm 125 to thedrive shaft 129. - In the
illustrated apparatus 101 thedrive 117 is operative to rotate thespoked wheel 109 in a rearward direction such that the ends of thespokes 111 move upward adjacent to thefront face 105F of theshank 105 and such that residue dragging on theshank 105 and contacted by thespokes 111 is moved upward and rearward over a top end of theshank 105 between thearm segments 137. As in the apparatus 1 described above, theshank 105 is oriented to slope rearward and upward from thefurrow opener 107 to facilitate passage of residue up and over the shank. - It is contemplated that it could be possible to configure the
spoked wheel 109 such that the tips of thespokes 111 engage the ground such that movement over the ground will cause thewheel 109 to rotate, but this arrangement would limit the rotational speed of the wheel, and could cause other unforeseen complications. - The above describes and illustrates only a single shank, however it is contemplated that rows of shanks will be provided in the manner as is well known in the art. The invention thus provides an effective mechanism for preventing buildup of residue on a shank by providing spokes that move along the face of the shank to contact residue and move it upward or forward off the shank before problematic clumps can form on the shank.
- The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous changes and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all such suitable changes or modifications in structure or operation which may be resorted to are intended to fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
