RIDGE FORMING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: ridge forming machine has carrier frame, hitching device, carrier wheels, shafts, rotavator sections, housing-ridge former, working slitter, and furrow cutters. Housing-ridge former is made in the form of truncated rectangular pyramid of equilateral trapezium-shaped section. Housing is equipped with ridge parameter and ridge soil density adjustment mechanism. Slitter provides discharge of excessive moisture as well as accumulation of moisture at disadvantageous periods. So slitter operates in more homogeneous soil. Furrow cutter provides for additional facilities for moisture accumulation. Machine is used for forming ridges during tilled crop cultivation. EFFECT: simplified construction, improved ridge forming quality and soil slitting quality. 6 dwg
