Planter With Depth Adjustment Mechanism

US Patent:
7946232, May 24, 2011
Filed:
Jul 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/501855
Inventors:
Ranjit G. Patwardhan - Hesston KS, US
Monte J. Rans - Hesston KS, US
Assignee:
AGCO Corporation - Duluth GA
International Classification:
A01B 49/04
A01B 63/16
A01C 5/00
A01C 7/18
A01C 13/00
US Classification:
111 66, 111 84, 111135, 111193, 172421
Abstract:
A planter row unit has a pair of ground-engaging gauge wheels located in close proximity to opposite sides of a furrow opener of the unit. The depth of penetration of the furrow opener depends upon the vertical position of the gauge wheels relative to the furrow opener. Wheel arms that connect the gauge wheels to the frame of the row unit are operably coupled with a depth adjustment lever through a rigid link that transmits adjusting movement of the depth adjustment lever to the gauge wheels to raise or lower the same. The link is made adjustable in length to provide fine depth adjustment of the unit for calibration purposes or otherwise.

Fertilizer Transfer Chamber For Metering Device

US Patent:
8336469, Dec 25, 2012
Filed:
Dec 23, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/645713
Inventors:
William W. Preheim - Minneapolis KS, US
Nyle C. Wollenhaupt - Eden Prairie MN, US
Monte J. Rans - Hesston KS, US
Assignee:
AGCO Corporation - Duluth GA
International Classification:
A01C 7/04
A01C 7/06
US Classification:
111185
Abstract:
A transfer chamber assembly for an apparatus and method to precisely meter and dispense two or more crop inputs with a common metering disc. In one embodiment, dry granular or granulized fertilizer is metered from one side of the disc and seed is metered from the opposite side of the same metering disc. The fertilizer is placed in a concentrated “pulse” approximately equal distances between seeds within a common seed furrow and/or between seed furrows to improved nutrient use efficiency by minimizing soil to fertilizer contact and subsequent chemical reactions that make applied supplemental nutrients less available to plants. Pressurized air may be utilized to assist discharge of both the seed and fertilizer from the disc meter to assure precise spacing in the soil. A cover may be placed on the meter and metering disc to recirculate air and thus minimize potential atmospheric contamination from seed coatings and fertilizer materials.

Seed Meter Airflow Cover

US Patent:
8336470, Dec 25, 2012
Filed:
Dec 23, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/645819
Inventors:
Monte J. Rans - Hesston KS, US
Assignee:
AGCO Corporation - Duluth GA
International Classification:
A01C 7/04
A01C 7/06
A01C 7/12
US Classification:
111185, 111170
Abstract:
A cover for a pneumatic metering device for preventing air flow to the ambient environment while dispensing of inputs from the metering device. In one embodiment, dry granular or granulized fertilizer is metered from one side of the disc and seed is metered from the opposite side of the same metering disc. The fertilizer is placed in a concentrated “pulse” approximately equal distances between seeds within a common seed furrow and/or between seed furrows to improved nutrient use efficiency by minimizing soil to fertilizer contact and subsequent chemical reactions that make applied supplemental nutrients less available to plants. Pressurized air may be utilized to assist discharge of both the seed and fertilizer from the disc meter to assure precise spacing in the soil.

Dual Product Dispensing Disk For Metering Device

US Patent:
8371239, Feb 12, 2013
Filed:
Dec 23, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/645743
Inventors:
Monte J. Rans - Hesston KS, US
William W. Preheim - Minneapolis KS, US
Nyle C. Wollenhaupt - Eden Prairie MN, US
Edward L. Swenson - Emory TX, US
Assignee:
AGCO Corporation - Duluth GA
International Classification:
A01C 7/00
A01C 9/00
US Classification:
111185
Abstract:
A metering disk for dispensing two or more crop inputs to achieve proper placement in the soil relative to one another. In one embodiment, dry granular or granulized fertilizer is metered from one side of the disc and seed is metered from the opposite side of the same metering disc. The fertilizer is placed in a concentrated “pulse” approximately equal distances between seeds within a common seed furrow and/or between seed furrows to improved nutrient use efficiency by minimizing soil to fertilizer contact and subsequent chemical reactions that make applied supplemental nutrients less available to plants.
