Abstract:
A disk blade has an outer perimeter, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a central hub. A plurality of fingers extend laterally at an angle θ from said first side wall. The fingers preferably comprise metal round bars curved to form part of an elliptical geometry inserted at a perpendicular angle to a vertical angle of said disk blade. The bars are arranged at locations equidistant around said disk blade and are disposed at a depth x from said outer perimeter of said disk blade. Preferably, the depth x is at least ≥one (1) inch.

Claim (Index 22):
A harrow system comprising:\n a. one or more elliptical bars having a first set of multiplicity of metal wheels having a first set disk blades being round or notched or toothed with a hub pattern mounted thereon; b. one or more protruding mount bars extending laterally beyond the elliptical bars and having a second set of disk blades comprising multiplicity of metal wheels having disk blades being round or notched or toothed with a hub pattern mounted thereon; c. at least one of said first set or second set of disk blades comprising a combination of sharpened disk blades and dull disk blades, wherein said sharpened disk blades are appointed to cut crop residue on a soil surface upon contact as the round bars hold crop residue in place thereby sizing residue, wherein said dull blades are appointed to pinch and score crop residue thereby allowing for soil microorganisms to enter into crop residue and begin decomposition; wherein a forward rotation geometry results from a combination of the one or more second set of disk blades beyond the elliptical bars to transfer kinetic energy of rotation into clods facilitating crumbling of soil clods into smaller aggregates, wherein as the disk blade rotates forward, it contacts crop residue on a surface of the soil pushing the residue into the soil as the round bars stir and compress soil around the residue, wherein soil is scored upon rotation of the harrow blade when it comes into contact with untilled soil, wherein when operated at an angle to the direction of forward movement, the harrow wheel lifts and tills the soil.
