His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique tool control system that enhances the efficiency of agricultural practices.
Latest Patents
James Eichele holds a patent for a "Tool control system for agricultural seeders." This invention features a seeder that includes a frame on ground wheels, defining tool bars for seeding elements spaced across the frame. Each seeding element consists of a pair of parallel arms connected to a tool bar bracket, forming a parallel linkage that allows for up and down movement of a support arm. This support arm is connected at the rear end and carries a packer wheel. A spring applies a downward force on the parallel linkage, which increases as the parallel arms pivot upwardly and decreases as they pivot downwardly. The control device is designed to raise and lower the tool bar in response to a detected value from a sensor, thereby changing the angle of the parallel linkage and the spring force. Additionally, a cam-controlled double rack adjustment allows users to modify the height of the opener, enabling changes in seeding depth.
