ABSTRACT:
A conservation tillage implement including a shredder with a transverse rotor hood structure having one-piece end panels which are welded to each side of the hood and project rearwardly of the hood to receive a toolbar which extends the width of the implement. The center of the toolbar is connected to a pair of parallel upright central panels which are connected to the central rear portion of the hood. A reinforcing member extends from the central rear portion between the central panels around the top of the hood adjacent the hitch structure which connects the implement to a tractor. The end and central panels and reinforced hood structure define a compact, unobtrusive frame which is sturdy enough to pull heavy drawbar loads and resist heavy torque loading. In one embodiment of the invention, the toolbar supports a plurality of transversely adjustable deep tillage tools such as rippers, and disk structure is connected by adjustable bracket structure to the toolbar behind the rippers. Transversely adjustable lift and transport wheels may also connected to the toolbar, along with transversely adjustable down-limit members for limiting disk penetration and supporting the disk structure above the ground when the wheels are lowered to the transport position. A variety of earthworking tools, including those presenting a heavy draft load, can be mounted at different locations on the toolbar.
