SOIL UNDERCUTTER WITH PIVOTALLY MOUNTED SHANK

摘要

The present invention relates to a shank assembly for a soil undercutter, which is similar to an extremely wide cultivator shovel which travels underneath the ground and cuts the roots from weeds and plants without substantially disturbing the surface of the ground. The shank assembly position can be adjusted by changing the length of a link which holds the shank assembly in position. As shown the link includes a spring trip with a near center type toggle trip release that prevents "floating" and will hold the blade in position until an obstacle is encountered.
