DEVICE FOR OPENING OF ROOT SYSTEM OF ASEXUALLY REPRODUCING ROOTSTOCKS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A01B39/16 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: device has a frame mounted on the hitch with a self-installing parallelogram mechanism. On the frame the plows are fixed, and behind them - rotary working bodies and gauge probes. The gauge probes are oriented along the direction of movement and have front parts deflected to the sides of the inter-row spacings and are mounted on the U-shaped frame located in the vertical plane, which is kinematically connected with the distributive valve which controls the work of hydraulic cylinder in the parallelogram mechanism. The rotary working bodies are provided with elastic elements and the drive. The device is equipped with lifters installed in front of the gauge probes at an angle to the direction of motion and tilt downward so that the front ends of the lifters are in contact with the ridge of the covering embankment, and the rear locate on the curved parts of the gauge probes. The lifters are fixed rigidly to the frame through the racks with the ability to adjust their spatial position.

EFFECT: constructive implementation will enable to improve the reliability and quality of opening the root system of asexually reproducing rootstocks before their separation from the mother plants.
