Patent attributes
An agricultural furrow opening system having a hybrid single-disk, double-disk opener is disclosed including a swing-arm, a primary disk, and a deflecting disk. The primary disk is coupled to a distal end of the swing-arm and configured to rotate about a first axis. The primary disk is rolled about a direction of travel at a first oblique angle θP and yawed about a vertical direction at a second oblique angle ζP. The deflecting disk is coupled to the distal end of the swing-arm and configured to rotate about a second axis. The deflecting disk is rolled about the direction of travel at a third oblique angle θD and yawed about the vertical direction at a fourth oblique angle ζD. The first oblique angle θP is between the vertical direction and the third oblique angle θD.
