摘要

The tractor-towed implement comprises a frame (1-4) carrying (on 5) angled blades (6) to lift the crops. It has fixed (9') and vertically reciprocating (9, on 7) tines arranged behind the blades. - A rotating shaft (10) carries a set of curved rods (20) behind each blade to move adhering soil from the lifted crops. These rods have a semi-circular shape and are arranged so that, during rotation of the shaft (10), the leading end of each rod comes into contact with one end of a shaker tine (9).
