Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An agricultural row cleaner having: a frame; a first row cleaner wheel disposed on a first side of the frame; a second row cleaner wheel disposed on a second side of the frame; and a third wheel attached to the frame and having a leading edge disposed forward of the first row cleaner wheel and the second row cleaner wheel along a direction of travel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . An agricultural row cleaner assembly comprising: a frame assembly comprising first and second row cleaner wheel support arms; a first row cleaner wheel disposed on a first side of the frame assembly and mounted to the first row cleaner wheel support arm at a first row cleaner wheel axle; a mounting bar having a forward end and a rearward end relative to a direction of travel, the rearward end configured to mount to the second row cleaner wheel support arm; a second row cleaner wheel disposed on a second side of the frame assembly and mounted to the second row cleaner wheel support arm or to the rearward end of the mounting bar at a second row cleaner wheel axle; and a third row cleaner wheel attached to the forward end of the mounting bar at a third row cleaner wheel axle such that a leading edge of the third row cleaner wheel is disposed forward of the first row cleaner wheel and the second row cleaner wheel along the direction of travel. 2 . The agricultural row cleaner assembly of claim 1 , wherein a vertical plane is disposed at a midpoint between the first row cleaner wheel and the second row cleaner wheel and extends along the direction of travel, and wherein the leading edge of the third row cleaner wheel is disposed proximate to the vertical plane or wherein the leading edge of the third row cleaner wheel crosses over the vertical plane. 3 . The agricultural row cleaner assembly of claim 2 , wherein the leading edge is disposed proximate to the vertical plane. 4 . The agricultural row cleaner assembly of claim 2 , wherein the leading edge crosses over the vertical plane. 5 . The agricultural row cleaner assembly of claim 1 further comprising: a gauge wheel rotatably supported between the first row cleaner wheel support arm and the second row cleaner wheel support arm about a gauge wheel axle disposed rearward of the first and second row cleaner wheel axles.
