LOW GROUND DISTURBANCE LIQUID MANURE APPLICATOR

摘要

A liquid manure applicator comprises a frame having support wheels mounted to a carriage movable relative to the frame and one or more transversely extending shafts of tines positioned rearward of the support wheels. Rearward of the tines are distributed one or more sprays. The frame is mounted to the vehicle through vertically reciprocating parallelogram linkage which permits the frame to move vertically while maintaining the orientation of the frame and the ground. The supporting wheels are pivoted so as to passively steer as the frame is moved laterally. The elevation of the tine assemblies and sprays relative to the ground is adjusted through manipulation of the height of the supporting wheels. A minimal number of large bore clog resistant sprays is used, supplied from a distributor. 23
