| 20100314144 | BLADE ARRANGEMENT FOR DISK HARROWS - A multisection tandem disk harrow has a frame, a first disk gang, and a second disk gang. The concave sides of the disk blades in the first disk gang face one side of the disk harrow, and the concave sides of the disk blades in the second disk gang face the other side of the disk harrow. The disk blades in the first disk gang are mounted for rotation about a common axis that extends through a center of the disk blades. The disk blades in the second disk gang are mounted for rotation about respective individual axes that are substantially parallel with and spaced apart from each other. The first and second disk gangs are arranged so that the common axis of the first disk gang is nonparallel with the individual axes of the second disk gang. Various frame, support wheels, disk gang, and hitch configurations are also disclosed. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20130299204 | Soil Cultivation Implement - The invention refers to a soil cultivation implement with two tool rows of hollow discs of a first hollow discs row and of a second hollow discs row. One hollow disc in the first hollow discs row is positioned slightly offset to the rear. In the second hollow discs row there is a hollow disc in a position offset to the front. In order to prevent lateral pull with a soil cultivation implement of this type the hollow discs rows were positioned relatively symmetrically and were offset where the hollow discs point towards each other with their convex sides or with their concave sides. This offset has the effect of optimising the soil flow and prevents components colliding with each other. This ensures even cultivation over the whole working width of the implement, including in the area of greater working depths with hollow discs that have a larger diameter. | 11-14-2013 |

| 20080257574 | Goal Plow Technology (GPT) - The GOAL PLOW TECHNOLOGY (GPT) is an agricultural method, with great impact on the physical and biological behavior of the ground. GPT makes horizontal cuts in the soil, without inverting the soil's layers. GPT achieves this by following the terrain's contours as originally formed by Nature. GPT's angles and devices successfully move the soil in the opposite direction of the earth's gravity. GPT is adaptable to any kind of soil, for cultivation or tillage, and can easily be used by itself, or used in combination with other farming systems. The presently existing agricultural implements destroy the natural structure of the soil. As their use diminishes, GPT will yield maximum benefits. In addition, GPT is the ideal technology for organic food production, as it favors the accumulation of biomass at the ground's level. GPT helps to lessen the greenhouse effect on planet earth, this in turn, produces a great impact on the environment and on better human health; thereby, having the desired effect of turning into reality the ultimate purpose of acquiring healthy foods at affordable prices. | 10-23-2008 |
