SOIL PROTECTIVE TILLAGE TOOL Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: tillage tool has frame, hitching device, disk-shaped cutter and slitter. Cutter and slitter are arranged in succession so as to be individually repositioned in operating and in-operating position. Slitters are mounted on frame by means of succession of brackets, which are axially aligned with longitudinal geometric axis of symmetry of frame beam. Brackets are positioned so as to embrace outer surface of beam. Brackets are fixed in predetermined position by quick-release fingers. Each tine of slitter is connected to bracket through intermediate plate, with number of plates on each bracket exceeding one but being less than six. Intermediate plate is mounted in offset relation with respect to bracket diametrical plane. Tillage tool of such construction may be used for determining the effectiveness of soil cultivation on slopes and allows time needed for readjustment of cultivation members to be reduced. EFFECT: simplified construction and reduced labor consumption. 3 cl, 4 dwg
