PLOW BODY Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: plow body has tine, plow-bottom surface 1 positioned on tine, main share 2, auxiliary share 3 positioned at nose part of main share 2. Auxiliary share 3 has cutting edge 4 positioned in longitudinal-vertical plane extending through landward edge of plow body. Baffle 5 with curved-concave surface is mounted on auxiliary share 3 adjacent to its facet opposed to cutting edge 4. Working surface of baffle 5 is positioned between landward and trailing edges of plow-bottom surface. During advancement, plow body with auxiliary share 3 positioned in front of landward edge, cuts off soil layer from soil monolith. Part of upper soil layer adjacent to field is separated by baffle 5, directed to landward edge and laid to furrow side of main layer, which is continued to be turned by plow-bottom surface of plow body. At the end of turning and placing of soil layer into furrow, upper layer with plant remains falls onto furrow bottom under coming down lower soil layers. As a result, plant remains are embedded into plow horizon of soil. EFFECT: increased efficiency, enhanced reliability in operation and improved quality of soil. 5 cl, 3 dwg
