The stationary blade has sleeves at the ends, and each of the sleeves is connected to a post of a support arm and locked into the posts via a pin.

主权项

1. An agricultural implement with a rolling basket for breaking and mixing a soil surface, compromising:
a basket structure including a plurality of blades extending from one end to an opposing end along a major axis of the basket structure, wherein the plurality of blades define an inner chamber of the basket structure, the inner chamber being accessible via a plurality of openings provided between portions of the blades, the basket structure configured to rotate around the major axis; a stationary blade disposed in the inner chamber of the basket structure for breaking up a material from the inner chamber as the basket structure is rotated around the major axis, wherein the material is removed from the inner chamber of the basket structure via at least one of the plurality of openings, said stationary blade being stationary relative to the basket structure which rotates; a support bar extending substantially parallel to the major axis of the basket structure;support arms connected to the support bar and the basket structure and configured to allow rotation of the basket structure; and
sleeves connected to the support arms; wherein the stationary blade is connected to the sleeves on said support arms so that the stationary blade is stationary with respect to the basket structure when the basket structure rotates.
