| 20090166050 | Method and Device for Measuring Soil Parameters by Means of Compaction Machines - A soil compaction device has a vibrated contact element that makes contact with the soil during a contact phase and that is exposed to a contact force exerted by the soil and travels over a contact distance. A dynamic stiffness of the soil is formed from the gradient of the contact force and from the contact distance. Furthermore, a contact surface parameter to take account of the actual contact surface of the contact element with the soil is determined. The dynamic deformation modulus is then the product of the contact surface parameter and the dynamic stiffness. The method allows the determination of the dynamic deformation modulus, and hence of the soil stiffness, during the compaction operation. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20110253399 | SOIL AND VEGETATION TOOL - Provided is a landscaping attachment for use with a landscape trimmer having a rotational drive mechanism. The landscaping attachment includes a ring having an outer surface and an inner surface, with the ring being rotatable about a rotation axis. An attachment plate is connected to the ring and is configured to be engageable with the rotational drive mechanism. The landscape attachment further includes a blade having a proximal end portion and an opposing distal end portion. The proximal end portion is connected to the ring and the distal end portion is disposed radially outward from the ring. The blade defines a cutting plane about the rotation axis as the ring rotates. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20150144363 | VERTICAL TINE TILLER - A vertical tine tiller that includes a chassis, an engine attached to the chassis, a handle assembly extending from the chassis to allow an operator to control the tiller, and at least two vertically oriented tine assemblies. Each of the tine assemblies include a plurality of tines attached to a plate, wherein the tine assemblies are rotatable about a vertical axis such that the tines of each tine assembly provide a grinding path and adjacent tine assemblies have at least partially overlapping grinding paths. The tines are removably connected to the plate. | 05-28-2015 |

| 20080236849 | Machine for Working the Soil and Deflector Device Adapted to be Used on Such a Machine - A soil working machine, particularly a precision tiller, includes a chassis ( | 10-02-2008 |
| 20110209886 | Device for Cultivating Soil or Brushing Debris - A device for cultivating soil or brushing debris includes a frame supporting a transmission, a motor, and a shaft rotatably supported by a transmission housing and driven by the motor through the transmission. A distal end of the shaft includes a passageway therethrough. A fastener is at least partially received within the passageway. A tine assembly may be removably attached to the shaft and includes a first pair of two laterally spaced-apart tine disks. The first pair of tine disks being laterally positioned on the shaft between the fastener and the housing. A brush attachment may be removably attached, and includes a tube, which has a wheel rotatably attached to a first end thereof and a first gear fixedly attached to an opposing second end thereof. At least a portion of the fastener extends through at least a portion of the tube to fixedly attach the tube to the shaft. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20110147018 | TILLAGE BLADE CONFIGURED TO STAY SHARP LONGER - A tillage blade having a sharpened outer peripheral edge on a blade body has a predetermined thickness. An annular portion of the blade is disposed between the outer peripheral edge and the body having a thickness which is less than the thickness of the body of the blade, the annular portion having a radially outer part and a radially inner part. The blade is tapered from the sharpened peripheral edge to the radially outer part of the annular portion and the blade is tapered from the radially inner part of the annular portion to the body. By making the sharpened bevels on out outer periphery of the blades taper in steps instead of just sharpening them by making either one bevel on one side, or a bevel on each side of the outer periphery of the blade, the blade will last longer than prior art tillage blades. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20080283256 | Rolling Assembly and Pick Assembly Mounted on a Trencher - In one aspect of the present invention, a roller assembly on an excavator for degrading natural and man-made formations has a plurality of pointed inserts disposed along its outer diameter. The inserts have a tip adapted to impact the formation and at least one of the tips has polycrystalline diamond bonded to a cemented metal carbide segment. The diamond also has a substantially conical geometry with a 0.50 to 0.200 inch radius and a thickness greater that 100 inches at the apex. The diamond also has a volume that is 75 to 150 percent of a volume of a carbide substrate. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20130056233 | DUST SUPPRESSION ARRANGEMENT FOR HEAVY EXCAVATION EQUIPMENT - An excavation apparatus is disclosed. The excavation apparatus includes a chassis having a length that extends from a front end to a rear end of the chassis. The chassis also has a width oriented perpendicular to the length. A boom is pivotally attached to the rear end of the chassis. A cutting component mounted to the boom. A shroud structure at least partially covers the cutting component. A source of vacuum is in fluid communication with an interior of the shroud structure for drawing air containing dust from the interior of the shroud structure. A filter filters the air drawn from the interior of the shroud structure by the source of vacuum. A dust barrier projects downwardly from the shroud structure and extends along at least a portion of a perimeter of the shroud structure. The dust barrier has a construction that is pervious to debris generated by the cutting component and that provides gradually reduced restriction to inward air flow through the dust barrier as the dust barrier extends downwardly from the shroud structure. | 03-07-2013 |
