Abstract:
1. A disc gang assembly configured for attachment to a mainframe of a seedbed preparation implement that is configured to be pulled in a draft direction via ground engaging wheels directly connected to said mainframe, said disc gang assembly comprising: (A) a frame which is configured to be connectable to the mainframe and that comprises a main beam which is mountable on the mainframe and a disc support beam which is located in front of said main beam and which is connected to said main beam by a plurality of support arms; and (B) a plurality of ground engaging rotary discs which are supported on said support beam and which are configured to rotate about an axis that extends at a gang angle relative to a perpendicular to said draft direction, wherein said frame includes hardware configured to connect said frame relative to the implement mainframe so as to permit said frame be movable relative to the mainframe so as to permit said gang angle to be infinitely adjusted through a range of at least 3° via an actuator extending wholly between said main beam and said mainframe.
