Field sweep

A multi-task single-pass agricultural tillage implement has a plurality of independently engageable and adjustable soil working components successively mounted on a mainframe. The mainframe has a wheel assembly which raises and lowers a plurality of wheels. The mainframe also includes a tongue assembly coupleable to a towing vehicle and a frame pivoting angle adjustment mechanism. Each of the soil working components can be independently and selectively operated separately or in combination with any one or more of the plurality of working components such that each of the plurality of soil working components is independently, selectively operated for optimized single pass tillage. An open spiral chopping reel assembly for use in an agricultural field preparation implement is also disclosed.

Universal custom agricultural field preparation implement

A low till agricultural implement has a frame with a hitch for attachment to a tractor. An shallow-angled blade gang composed of an array of parallel ultra-shallow inclined disk blades is mounted to the front of the frame, and is followed by at least one wheel, spiral reel, and spike tooth harrow. The ultra-shallow inclined disk blades are mounted perpendicular to rotating shafts, and slice through field residue and soil with minimal lateral movement of material. The blades of the following reel then make cuts nearly perpendicular to those made by the circular blades. A trailing rolling basket or other finishing implement follows the spiral reel. The implement aids in drying the soil surface layer. Also, by cutting up residue and evenly spreading debris and topsoil, the implement helps to warm up the soil.
