Effect of Stone Impacts on Various Ground Engaging Tools (Flexible/Stiff Tines and Coulter): Part I.

Analysis of the state of knowledge showed a gap in the description of tool-stone feedback. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate tool-stone interactions. Spherical-like silicate stones were hit by stiff and flexible tines with a duckfoot or a coulter.

Kinetics and Dynamics of the Stiff and Flexible Tines with the Duckfoot and the Coulter after Impact with Stones Embedded in Compacted Soil. Part II.

The kinetics and dynamics of the stiff and flexible tines with the duckfoot and the coulter after impact with stones embedded in compacted soil were examined. The beak of the duckfoot was positioned in the axis of the row of stones embedded in the soil at the depth of stones thickness. The coulter covered the stone or impact the edge of the stone halfway along its length.
