Description

PLOWS OF A SINGLE STEP FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to plows for preparing the land for planting crops.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Many different types of equipment and methods have been used to prepare the agricultural land for planting. Typically, after a crop has been harvested, the agricultural land must be prepared to plant the next crop. Several methods to prepare agricultural land have been widely used. The first is a zero tillage system, where no work is done on the land before planting a crop after a previous crop has been harvested. No-tillage systems, however, generally do not prepare agricultural land adequately to plant the next crop, which leads to lower crop yields. Another method to prepare agricultural land is a multi-step system. In a typical multi-step system, the vegetation remaining from the previous crop is typically trimmed and removed during a first step on the agricultural land by a tractor pulling a cutting device. Afterwards, a second step is typically carried out in which a tractor must pull a ground fracturing device on agricultural land. Then, a third step is typically carried out in which a tractor must pull a plow through the agricultural land that re-forms the plantation rows before planting the next crop. Therefore, at a minimum, a multi-step system typically requires at least three steps of a tractor on agricultural land in order to properly prepare agricultural land for the next crop. Therefore, multi-step systems are time consuming and costly because a tremendous amount of effort and fuel is required to perform the various steps on the agricultural terrain. Additionally, the available benefits of a crop are reduced due to the need to carry out several steps on the agricultural land. Therefore, there is a need in the art for an improved system and device for preparing agricultural land for planting a crop.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A plow and method for manufacturing a plow are described. The plow includes an elongated frame with one or more shear assemblies fixed to the frame in a separate relationship along a length of the frame. Each of one or more shear assemblies includes a shear blade disposed at a distal end of the shear assembly and configured to operate under the soil surface to mow the roots of the vegetation planted as the plow is pulled through a field. . The vertical position of the shear blade can be adjustable. One or more cylinder assemblies are rotatably attached to the frame and placed in parallel in one or more shear assemblies and configured to roll when the plow is pulled through a field. One or more cylinder assemblies include a plurality of radially extending cylinder knives configured to cover the soil with manure and straw and to press vegetation skewed to the ground. One or more cylinder assemblies may further include a first and second cylinder support arms extending from the frame, and a cylinder body rotatably attached to the first and second cylinder support arms. One or more leveling wheels can be configured in a separate relationship along the cylinder body to control the vertical position of the plow when the plow is being pulled through a field. One or more coulters can be additionally mounted on the cylinder body and configured in a separate relationship along the cylinder assembly.
According to one aspect of the present invention, one or more support arms extend from the frame, where each of one or more support arms is configured to contain one or more implements of field work. One or more field work implements may be laterally adjusted along the length of at least one of one or more support arms. One or more field work implements can also be adjusted vertically at their joint to at least one or more support arms. One of the fieldwork implements may be a pallet device configured to reposition the soil at the top of the biased vegetation and form a seedbed. Another of the field work implements may be a chisel assembly configured to fracture the ground between two adjacent rows of vegetation planted. A hook can be attached to the frame and configured to allow the plow to be lifted and transported by an impeller.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention will now be more fully described below with reference to the appended figures, in which some, but not all embodiments of the invention are shown. In fact, this invention can be represented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.; rather, these modalities are provided so that this description will comply with the applicable legal requirements. Similar numbers refer to similar elements through them. FIGURE IA is a front perspective view of a one-step plow 100 according to a first illustrative embodiment of the present invention. The one-step plow 100 may include a tool bar 105, a hook 110, one or more shear assemblies 115, a cylinder assembly 120 and one or more support arms 125. Additionally, a chisel assembly 130 and / or a vane device 135 can be attached to each of the support arms 125. The tool bar 105 of the single-step plow 100 can function as a frame and other components of the single-step plow 100 can be connected or mounted on the tool bar 105. As shown in FIGURE IA, the tool bar 105 may include a first transverse rod 140 and a second transverse rod 145. The two transverse rods 140, 145 may be connected together by one or more braces 150. The transverse rods 140, 145 can be fixed permanently or connected to the braces 150 such as, for example, by welding the cross rods 140, 145 to one or more braces 150. Alternatively, the cross rods 140, 145 can be removably connected to one or more braces 150 by any device of suitable connection such as, for example, bolts, screws, pins or pins. The transverse rods 140, 145 and one or more braces 150 may be constructed of tubular steel or any other suitable materials including, but not limited to, iron, plastic, aluminum, synthetic fibers, polymers, steel or other metal alloys, steel solid, other metals, ceramics or a combination of materials. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that the tool bar 105 may include any number of transverse rods and cross braces for connecting cross rods. Additionally, it will be understood that the crossbars and the struts may be individual components that are connected together to form the tool bar 105, or alternatively, the tool bar 105 may be formed of a single or unitary component. In the exemplary embodiments of the one-step plow 100, one or more shear assemblies 115 can be connected to the first transverse rod 140 and the cylinder assembly 120 can be connected to the second transverse rod 145. The spacing between the first transverse rod 140 and the second transverse rod 145 and, consequently, the length of one or more braces 150 can be determined by the size of one or more shear assemblies 115, the size of the cylinder assembly 120 and / or the desired spacing between one or more shear assemblies 115 and cylinder assembly 120, as will be explained in more detail in the following with reference to FIGURE 10. However, it will be understood that many different lengths may be used for one or more braces 150 to allow several spacings between the first transverse rod 140 and second transverse rod 145. Additionally, it will be understood that adjustable cross braces or multi-section braces can be used The length of the first transverse rod 140 and the second transverse rod 145 can be determined at least in part by the number according to the present invention to allow the spacing between the first and second transverse rods 140, 145 to be varied. pretended of rows of agricultural crop that will be worked by the plow 100 of a single step. The one-step plow 100 represented in FIGURE A is a six-row plow 100 single-step mode. The transverse rods 140, 145 of the tool bar 105 can therefore be sized to support sufficient shear assemblies 115 for working six agricultural rows and a cylinder assembly 120 having a length sufficient to work six agricultural rows, as explained in more detail in the following. However, it will be understood that many different lengths of the first and second transverse rods 140, 145 can be used for a plow according to the present invention. Additionally, the lengths of the first and second transverse rods 140, 145 do not necessarily have to be the same, as shown in FIGURE A where the second transverse rod 145 is longer than the first transverse rod 140. It will also be understood that the lengths of the transverse rods 140, 145 may be adjustable or that the transverse rods 140, 145 may be formed of more than one section, allowing various lengths of transverse rods to be achieved. A hook 110 can be connected or incorporated into the tool bar 105 of the one-step plow 100. The hook 110 can allow the one-step plow 100 to be pulled by an impeller such as a tractor. The hook 110 can be any suitable type of connection that allows the single-step plow 100 to be pulled by an impeller such as for example a standard three-point hook as will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. It will also be understood that a one-step plow 100 of the present invention can be pushed and / or integrated into a vehicle instead of being configured to be pulled by an impeller. For a standard three-point hook, three attachment points 155, 160, 165 can be included in the hook 110. A central attachment point 155 can be adapted to connect a movable center arm or upper connection of a tractor. The central connection point 155 can be placed between two outer joining points 160, 165 and can additionally be placed vertically on the two outer joining points 160, 165. The two outer joining points 160, 165 can each be adapted to connect an outer arm or link lifting arm of a tractor. The link lifting arms can also be controlled by the hydraulic system of the tractor and used to lift, lower or tilt a single-step plow 100 as it is pulled by the tractor.
Each of the attachment points 155, 160, 165 of the hook 110 may include one or more sets of attachment holes 170. One or more sets of attachment holes 170 may be used to connect an arm of an impeller to the hook 110 such as, for example, a center arm or lifting arm of a tractor. One or more sets of attachment holes 170 can be vertically separated along a junction point 155, 160, 165 to allow the impeller arm to be connected to several vertical points of the junction point 155, 160, 165. A connecting hole located in the arm of the impeller can be located between a set of attachment holes 170 and connected to the hook 110 when a pin, post, bolt or other suitable device is inserted through the arm and a corresponding set of attachment holes 170 . The pin, post, bolt or other suitable device can then be secured in place with a locking mechanism such as, for example, a pin or a nut. Although only two sets of attachment holes 170 are shown in FIGURE A for each attachment point 155, 160, 165, it will be understood that any number of sets of attachment holes 170 may be suitable at each point 155, 160, 165 of Union. Additionally, the sets of attachment holes 170 can be separated vertically or horizontally along each joint point 155, 160, 165.
As shown in FIGURE IA, one or more support arms 125 can also be connected to the tool bar 105. Field work implements in addition to one or more shears 115 and the cylinder assembly 120 can be attached or connected to one or more support arms 125. FIGURE IA shows a chisel assembly 130 and a vane device 135 connected to each support arm 125; however, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that many other types of fieldwork implements may be connected to one or more support arms 125 which include, but are not limited to, disc harrows, mouldboard plows, plows. of chisel, plows of subsoil, allomators, aporeadores, cultivators, tiers, rotary hoes, conditioners of nurseries, tiers of rollers, packers, rotary tillers, furrowers, and rollers of cage. It will also be understood that the field work implements can be connected directly to the tool bar 105 in addition to and / or as an alternative to connecting field work implements to one or more extension arms 125. One or more support arms 125 can be permanently or removably connected to the second transverse rod 145 of the tool bar 105 and furthermore can extend rearwardly of the second transverse rod 145. One or more support arms 125 can be connected removably to the second transverse rod 145 by any suitable means such as, for example, bolts, screws, pins, welds, or any combination of joining means. By removably connecting the support arms 125 to the second transverse rod 145, the support arms 125 can be laterally adjustable along the length of the second transverse rod 145. Each of one or more support arms 125 can be extended backward of the tool bar 105 of the one-step plow 100. Additionally, at least a portion of each support arm 125 can be oriented downwardly from the tool bar 105, as explained in greater detail in the following with reference to FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8. When orienting a portion of each arm 125 supporting downwardly of the tool bar 105, ground work implements can be connected to each support arm 125 in a vertical position lower than the vertical position of the tool bar 105. Accordingly, the length required for any shafts incorporated in or connecting the field work implements may be less than the length that may be required if the support arms 125 did not include an oriented portion. By using shorter shafts together with the field work implements can provide greater strength and power to the axles and implements of field work. For example, if a chisel assembly 130 is connected to a support arm 125 containing an oriented portion, the length of the chisel axis connecting a chisel to the support arm 125 can be reduced. The shorter chisel shaft can then provide greater strength and power to the chisel assembly 130 when the one-step plow 100 is pulled through agricultural land. It will be understood that, in addition to the second transverse rod 145 of the tool bar 105, one or more additional transverse rods or struts may extend between two or more of the support arms 125. For example, a transverse rod may extend between all of the support arms 125 at their distal ends relative to the tool bar 105. It will also be understood that the field work implements can be connected or attached to one or more additional transverse rods or struts. Additionally, one or more support arms 125 may be constructed of tubular steel or any other suitable materials including, but not limited to, iron, plastic, aluminum, synthetic fibers, polymers, steel or other metal alloys, solid steel, other metals, ceramics or a combination of materials.
FIGURE IB is a rear perspective view of a one-step plow 100 in accordance with a first illustrative embodiment of the present invention.
Similar to FIGURE IA, a six-row mode of a 100-step single-plow is shown in FIGURE IB. FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of a one-step plow 200 according to a second illustrative embodiment of the present invention. A ten-row mode of a one-step plow 200 is shown in FIGURE 2. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the one-step plow 200 may include one or more side sections, and each of a or more side sections can be used to work different rows of agricultural land while the one-step plow 200 is pulled through a field. Three side sections 201, 202, 203 are shown in FIGURE 2; however, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the one-step plow 200 can include any number of side sections. The three lateral sections 205, 210, 215 each may include a separate tool bar 205 or, alternatively, one or more side sections 201, 202, 203 may share a tool bar 205. Additionally, it will be understood that each of one or more lateral sections of the single-step plow 200 may include separate fieldwork implements. For example, each of the three side sections 201, 202, 203 shown in FIGURE 2 may include a separate cylinder assembly 220. Also as shown in FIGURE 2, one or more outer sections 201, 202 of the one-step plow 200 can be positioned in a forward position relative to a central section 203 of the one-step plow 200. The central section 203 of the single-step plow 200 may include a hook 210, one or more shear assemblies 215, a cylinder assembly 220, and one or more support arms 225 to which additional field work implements may be attached. . Each of the outer sections 201, 202 of the one-step plow 200 may include one or more shear assemblies 215, a cylinder assembly 220, and one or more support arms 225 to which fieldwork implements may be attached. additional The central section 203 can be used to work six rows of crops and each of the outer sections 201, 202 can be used to work two rows of crops; however, it will be understood that any number of rows of crops can be worked for each of the sections 201, 202, 203 of the one-step plow. For example, in a twelve-row modality of the one-step plow 200, the central section 203 can be used to work four rows of crops in each of the outer sections 201, 202 that can be used to work the four rows of crops. The outer sections 201, 202 of the one-step plow 200 can be positioned in a forward position relative to the central section 200 to help lift the plow 200 from a single pass through an impeller. The center of mass of the single-step plow 200 can be altered by placing the outer sections 201, 202 in a forward position relative to the central section 203 and, consequently, the weight on the hook 210 of the plow 200 of a single step can be reduced. As a result, the power needed to lift the plow 200 from a single step can be reduced, thereby assisting a driver such as, for example, a tractor, to lift and transport the one-step plow 200. It will be understood that additional features can be incorporated into the one-step plow 200 to assist an impeller in transporting the one-step plow 200. For example, one or more of the outer sections 201, 202 of the one-step plow 200 may be connected to the central section 203 by one or more joints 204, thereby allowing one or more of the sections 201, 202 are articulated in an upward or vertical position. For broader embodiments of the one-step plow 200 such as, for example, a twelve-row or fourteen-row form of the single-step plow 200, in particular one or more outer sections 201, 202 in an upward position can reduce the width 200 plow general one-step. Accordingly, the one-step plow 200 can be transported more easily in certain situations such as, for example, when the one-step plow 200 is transported onto a road to reach the agricultural land. Another feature that can be incorporated into or used in conjunction with the one-step plow 200 to assist in transporting the one-step plow 200 is a lifting aid assembly, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The lifting aid assembly may include one or more hydraulically operated rubber leveling wheels that can help lift the plow 200 from a single step when transported. It will also be understood that any number of wheels can be incorporated into the one-step plow 200 to help transport the one-step plow 200. For example, the wheels can be attached to the wheel supports or wheel mounts extending downwardly from the tool bar 205 of the one-step plow 200, and the wheels can support all or a portion of the weight of the plow 200 of a It only happens when it is being transported or from the agricultural land. Additionally, the wheel supports can be removably attached or hingedly joined to the tool bar 205, thereby allowing the wheel supports and attached wheels to be removed or articulated in an upward position when the plow is being pulled through the agricultural land by an impeller. FIGURE 3 is a top view of the one-step plow 100 according to a first illustrative embodiment of the present invention. Similarly, FIGURE 4 is a bottom view of a one-step plow 100 in accordance with a first illustrative embodiment of the present invention. A six-row modality of the one-step plow 100 is illustrated in FIGURE 3 and FIGURE 4. As shown in FIGURE 3 and FIGURE 4, one or more support arms 125 may be placed laterally in the spaces in the side and / or between one or more shear assemblies 115. In operation, when the one-step plow 100 is pulled through the agricultural land, one or more shear assemblies 115 can operate in the crop rows, as explained in greater detail in the following with reference to FIG. , FIGURE 8 and FIGURE 9. The blades of the cylinder assembly 120 can also operate in the rows of crops, as explained in greater detail in the following with reference to FIGURE 7, FIGURE 8 and FIGURE 10. Additionally, one or more support arms 125 may be placed between the rows of crops, and the field work implements attached to one or more support arms 125 may operate or work the soil between the rows of crops, as explained in greater detail hereinbelow. following with reference to FIGURE 7, FIGURE 8, FIGURE 11, FIGURE 12 and FIGURE 14. It will be understood that the one-step plow 100 can be used to farm agricultural land in accordance with many different row spaces. For example, the one-step plow 100 can be used to work agricultural land containing row-to-row spaces of about twenty-five point four to about one hundred twenty-seven centimeters (ten to about fifty inches). According to a particularly beneficial embodiment of the present invention, the one-step plow 100 can be used to work agricultural land with a row-to-row space of about ninety-one point forty-four to one hundred one point six centimeters (thirty six to forty inches). It will also be understood that the row-to-row space of agricultural land can be measured from the center of a row of crops to the center of an adjacent row of crop. The nursery area or the width of the seedbed of each row of crops may vary depending on the type of crop planted. The nursery area of many types of agricultural crops such as for example, corn, cotton and soybean, can be approximately forty-five point seventy-two centimeters (eighteen inches) or less; however, it will be understood that in some situations, the nursery area may exceed approximately forty-five point seventy-two centimeters (eighteen inches). As explained in greater detail in the following, each of one or more one-step 100 plow shear assemblies 115 may operate within the nursery area of a row of crops or within the area immediately surrounding the nursery area. of a row of crops. Similarly, the blades 1025 (FIGURE 10) of the cylinder assembly 120 can operate within the nursery area of a row of crops or within the area immediately surrounding the nursery area of a row of crops. One or more one-step plow support arms 125 can be positioned laterally between the seed areas of two adjacent rows of crops, and the field work implements attached or connected to one or more support arms 125 can operate on the agricultural land located between the nursery areas of two adjacent rows of crops. However, it will be understood that fieldwork implements attached or connected to one or more support arms 125 may be intended to operate within the nursery area of a row of crops or, alternatively, may operate incidentally within the nursery area of the nursery. a row of crops. Also shown in FIGURE 3 and FIGURE 4, one or more single-step plow shear assembly 115 that can be configured such that the cutting edge 930 of the blade portion 910 (FIGURE 9A, FIGURE 9B, FIGURE 9C) , FIGURE 9D and FIGURE 9E) of each shear assembly 115 faces toward the hook 110 of the one-step plow 100. Accordingly, one or more shear assemblies 115 located on either side of the hook 110 can form a mirror image of each other. As explained in greater detail in the following, such a configuration of one or more shear assemblies 115 can help prevent one or more shear assemblies 115 from contacting or interfering with the hook 110 of the one-step plow 100. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the cutting edge 930 of the blade portion 910 of each of one or more shearing assemblies 115 may be configured so that it faces the hook 110 or away from the hook 110 of the hook 110. plow 100 one-step. FIGURE 5 is a front view of a one-step plow 100 according to a first illustrative embodiment of the present invention. Similarly, FIGURE 6 is a rear view of a one-step plow 100 according to a first illustrative embodiment of the present invention. Both FIGURE 5 and FIGURE 6 illustrate a six-row modality of the one-step plow 100. FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8 are cross-sectional views of the one-step plow 100 of FIGURE 3. FIGURE 7 is a cross-sectional view of the one-step plow 100 of FIGURE 3, taken along the length of the axis AA 'and FIGURE 8 is a cross-sectional view of the one-step plow 100 of FIGURE 3 taken along the axis BB'. As shown in FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8, one or more one-step plow shear assemblies 115 can be placed immediately in front of the one-step plow cylinder assembly 120. One or more one-step plow support arms 125 can extend backwardly from the tool bar 105. One or more shear assemblies 115 and cylinder assembly 120 can extend from tool bar 105 in the same direction and in a parallel relationship with respect to tool bar 105. Also shown in FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8 are one or more of the support arms 125 which may include a downwardly oriented portion 705 and a joining portion 710. The attachment portion 710 may be a horizontal section of the support arm 125 to which field work implements may be attached. One or more field work implements may extend from the tool bar 105 in the same direction as one or more shear assemblies 115 and the cylinder assembly 120 in a parallel relationship with respect to the tool bar 105. The downwardly directed portion 705 of the support arm 125 can operate to lower the vertical portion of the attachment portion 710 relative to the vertical portion of the tool bar 105. Therefore, the fieldworking implements can be connected to the attachment portion 710 of a support arm 125 in a vertical position lower than the vertical position of the tool bar 105, which consequently decreases the length required for any adjustments incorporated in it. or that connect the implements of field work. By using shorter shafts together with the field work implements, greater strength and power can be provided to the axles and to the field work implements. It will be understood that many different downward angles 115 can be used for the downwardly directed portion 105 of the support arm 125 such as, for example, a downward angle 715 of about 25 to about 40 degrees. According to one aspect of the present invention, the downward angle 715 can be about 38 degrees. It will also be understood that the diameter of the cylinder assembly 120 can limit the descending angle 715 of the descendingly oriented portion 705 since it may be advantageous for the support arm 125 to contact the cylinder assembly 120. While the one-step plow 100 is being pulled through the agricultural land, one or more shear assemblies 115 can operate first on the agricultural land, followed by the cylinder assembly 120 and then the soil work implements attached to the soil. one or more support arms 125. As shown in FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8, a chisel assembly 130 and a rotator assembly 135 can be attached to each of one or more support arms 125. The operation of each of these one-step plow components 100 is described in greater detail in the following with reference to FIGURE 9, FIGURE 10, FIG.
FIGURE 11, FIGURE 12, FIGURE 13, and FIGURE 14. FIGURE 9A, FIGURE 9B, FIGURE 9C, FIGURE 9D, and FIGURE 9E depict several views of a plow assembly 115 of a plow 100 of a I only pass in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention. FIGURE 9A is a top view of a shear assembly 115; FIGURE 9B is a side view of a shear assembly 115; and FIGURE 9C is a perspective view of the shear assembly 115. As shown in FIGURE 9A, FIGURE 9B, and FIGURE 9C, the shear assembly 115 may include a shear support 905, a blade assembly 910, a stem guide assembly 915, a mounting assembly 920 Shear and a 925 shear shaft. The shear support 905 could extend downwardly from the tool bar 105 of the one-step plow 100. The shear assembly assembly 920 can be removably attached or fixedly attached or incorporated into the shear bracket 905, and the shear assembly assembly 920 can be used to removably attach the shear assembly 115 to the tool bar 105 of the plow 100 of a single step. By removably attaching the shear assembly 115 to the tool bar 105, the shear assembly 115 can move laterally along the length of the first transverse rod 140 of the tool bar 105. However, it will be understood that the shear assembly 115 can be fixedly attached to the tool bar 105. A connection or attachment between the assembly 920 of the shear assembly and the tool bar 105 can be made by any suitable means such as, for example, bolts, screws, pins and / or welders. The shear shaft 925 can be attached removably or fixedly attached to the distal end of the shear bracket 905. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the shear shaft 925 can be removably attached to the shear support 905 and further vertically adjustable with respect to the shear support arm 905. The shear shaft 925 can be connected to the shear bracket 905 by any suitable means such as, for example, bolts, screws, or pins. For example, the shear shaft 925 may include one or more attachment holes 926 placed in a vertical line along the shear shaft 925. Bolts or screws may be inserted through a portion of one or more joining holes 926 and the shear support 905, thereby forming a connection between the shear support 905 and the shear shaft 925. In order to be able to adjust the vertical position of the shear shaft 925 with respect to the shear support 905, the shear shaft 925 can be connected to the shear support 905 by using a different portion of one or more attachment holes 926. By adjusting the vertical position of the shear shaft 925 with respect to the shear support 905, the vertical position of the blade assembly 910 of the shear assembly 115 can be adjusted. However, it will be understood that the vertical position of the blade assembly 910 can be adjusted by other means including, but not limited to, a telescopic shear support 905, a telescopic shear shaft 925, or a telescopic connection between the support 905. of shear and the shaft 925 of shear. According to one aspect of the present invention, the vertical position of the blade assembly 910 can be configured such that the blade assembly 910 operates at a surface depth of approximately two point fifty-four to twenty point thirty-two centimeters (one or eight inches), although it will be understood that the blade assembly 910 can be configured to operate at any vertical height either above or below the surface. The shear shaft 925 may include a platform portion 927 at its distal end. The blade assembly 910 may be connected or attached to the platform portion 927 of the shear shaft 925 by any suitable means such as for example, bolts, screws, pins or welds. The angle at which the platform portion 927 joins the rest of the shear shaft 925 can be determined by the various angles associated with the blade assembly 930, as described in greater detail in the following. The shear shaft 925 may also include a shaft angle 928 as it extends downwardly from the shear support 905. The shaft angle 928 can cause the shear shaft 925 to extend away from the shear support 905 in a lateral direction, thus contributing to the ability of the blade assembly 910 to operate on agricultural crops without the shearing bracket 905 becoming entangled with the crops. For example, while the blade assembly 910 is operating under a row of crops, the shear support 925 may be placed on the side of the row of crops or on the side of the main stems of the plants within the row of crops. It will be understood that many different shank angles 928 can be utilized by the present invention such as for example, a shank angle 928 that is within the range of about 10 degrees to about 45 degrees. According to one aspect of the present invention, the stem angle 928 can be approximately 24.5 degrees. It will also be understood that the shaft angles 928 of the various shear shafts 925 may vary according to the row to row space of the crops located in the agricultural land. Additionally, the knife assembly 910 may include a cutting edge 930 that is configured to cut through the soil and the root zone of the crops that lie within a row of agricultural land. The cutting edge 930 of the blade assembly 910 can cut a swath or surface section through the row of crops. Additionally, it will be understood that the edge 930 may not be configured to flip the ground through which it operates; however, it is possible that the cutting edge 930 and the blade assembly 210 can turn a portion of the ground through which they operate. The surface section that is cut by the cutting edge 930 can have a wide variety of lateral cutting widths such as, for example, a side width of approximately forty-five point seventy-two centimeters (eighteen inches). The lateral cut width can be the width of the swath or surface section that is cut by the 930 edge as it travels through the agricultural terrain. A side cut width of forty-five point seventy-two centimeters (eighteen inches) can be used to help ensure that the 930 cutting edge cuts through most or all of the root system of crops that are planted in a row particular. For many agricultural crops, such as, for example, corn, soybeans and cotton, the lateral width of the crop nursery does not exceed approximately forty-five point seventy-two centimeters (eighteen inches). Accordingly, most or all of the root system of the crops can be cut or biased if the edge 930 has a side cut width of about forty-five point seventy-two centimeters (eighteen inches). For major root crops such as, for example, cotton, edge 930 can skew the main root when the single-step plow 100 is pulled through an agricultural soil. It will be understood that the various components of the shear assembly 115 can be constructed of steel or any other suitable material such as, for example, iron, plastic, aluminum, synthetic fibers, polymers, steel or other metal alloys, solid steel, other metals, ceramics or a combination of materials. It will also be understood that when components of the shear assembly 115 contact the agricultural land, the components of the shear assembly 115 may experience wear. For example, the shear shaft 925 may experience wear when the shear assembly 115 is pulled through the agricultural land. In order to minimize wear on the shear shaft 925, a joint bracket 935 can be permanently or removably attached to the front part of the shear shaft 925. The joining bracket 935 can be attached to the shear shaft 925 by any suitable means such as, for example, bolts, screws, pins or welds. As shown in FIGURE 9A, FIGURE 9B, FIGURE 9C, FIGURE 9D and FIGURE 9E, the attachment bracket 935 may have a triangular solid shape; however, it will be understood that the joining bracket 935 may have many different shapes such as, for example, a solid rectangular shape, or a solid semicircular shape. When the shear assembly 115 is pulled through the agricultural land, the joint bracket 935 can protect the shear shaft 925 and minimize wear on the shear shaft 925. Additionally, the joint brace 935 can assist the shear assembly 115 to be cut through the soil of the agricultural land and may additionally assist in cutting vegetation or other materials located within the soil. For example, if the joint square 935 has a triangular solid shape, one of the points of the triangle can face the front of the single-step plow 100 and that point can assist the shear assembly 115 to be cut through a floor and any vegetation or other materials located within the soil. The blade assembly 910 and the platform portion 927 of the shear shaft 925 can be contacted or fixed to the shear shaft 925 at any angle. According to one aspect of the present invention, the blade assembly 910 can be oriented so that the cutting edge 930 of the blade assembly 910 is diagonal to the front of the single-step plow 100, which allows cutting, slicing or skewing the material to slide out of the blade assembly 910. As shown in FIGURE 9A, the blade assembly 910 may include or incorporate an arrow wing angle 940 that defines an angle in the horizontal plane in which the blade assembly 910 contacts the root zone of the crops and another material located in an agricultural row. By providing an arrow-shaped angle 940, the cut material can slide off the cutting edge 930 and the blade assembly 910, thereby helping to prevent materials from accumulating on the cutting edge 930 and the blade assembly 910. The 910 angle of the arrow wing can also help in the cutting of roots and other materials. When the shear assembly 115 passes through a row of crops, the front moment of the plow 100 of a single one step will cause any material contacted by the edge 930 to travel to the edge portion of the edge 930, thereby helping to skew or cut that material. Due to the arrow-wing angle 940 of the knife assembly 910, in order to be able to cut a surface swath having a side cut width of about 45.72 centimeters (18 inches), the length of the cutting edge 930 of the blade assembly 910 may be greater than approximately 45.72 centimeters (18 inches). It will be understood that the larger the wing angle 940 is, the easier it will be for the blade assembly 910 to slide or move through the soil and the rows of crops planted therein and it will be easy for a pusher to pull the plow 100 One-step on agricultural land. In other words, when the angle of the wing-to-arrow angle 940 increases, an impeller will have to expend less energy or horsepower to pull the plow 100 in a single step. However, the larger the wing angle 940 is, the greater the length of the edge 930 required to have a lateral cutting width of approximately 45.72 centimeters (18 inches). It will also be understood that the arrow-to-arrow angle 940 can be any angle between about zero and about ninety degrees such as, for example, an angle that is in the range of about 30 degrees to about 60 degrees. As shown in FIGURE 9, the arrow-to-arrow angle 940 can be about 45 degrees. Accordingly, the length of the cutting edge 930 may be approximately 55.88 centimeters (22 inches) in order to have a lateral cutting width of approximately 45.72 centimeters (18 inches). It will be understood that the edge length 930 and the value of the arrow wing angle 940 can be virtually any length and angle respectively, as desired by a user of the one-step plow 100. Additionally, it will be understood that the value of the arrow wing angle 940 may be adjustable or fixed for a given shear assembly 115. The blade assembly 910 of the shear assembly 115 may also contact the ground or ground at an angle in the vertical direction, referred to herein as the blade lift angle 945. FIGURE 9D is a side view of the shear assembly 115 of FIGURE 9A observed along a first axis 947. The blade raising angle 945 of the blade assembly 910 is shown in FIGURE 9D. Blade elevation angle 945 can help provide the suction of the plow to the shear assembly 115. In other words, the blade elevation angle 945 can operate to pull the shear assembly 115 down into the ground or soil while the one-step plow 100 is being pulled through an agricultural land. The shear assembly 115 can be pulled down into the ground to the limits of one or more leveling wheels 1010 of the cylinder assembly 120, as explained in greater detail in the following with reference to FIG. 10. The knife elevation angle 945 it can also help lift cut vegetation or other soil materials so that the material can be pulled up as it contacts blade assembly 910. Many different angles can be used for knife elevation angle 945 such as for example, angles that are less than about 45 degrees. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, blade elevation angle 945 can be any angle within the range of about 10 degrees to about 20 degrees. It will be understood that when the value of the knife elevation angle 945 increases, the power required to pull the single-step plow 100 through the agricultural soil may increase. Additionally, the plow suction created by the blade assembly 910 may increase when the knife elevation angle 945 increases. Conversely, when the value of blade angle 945 decreases, the power required to pull the single-plow through agricultural soil may decrease. Additionally, the plow suction created by the blade assembly 910 may decrease when the knife elevation angle 945 decreases. It will be understood that the value of blade angle 945 can be adjustable or fixed for a given shear assembly 115. The edge 930 of the blade assembly 910 can also be oriented along its length, which will be referred to herein as the edge angle 950. FIGURE 9E is a perspective view of the shear assembly 115 of FIGURE 9A viewed along a second axis 952. The edge angle 950 is illustrated in FIGURE 9E. The edge 930 may include a forward point 953 and a rear point 954. The forward point 953 of the edge 930 may be the first portion of the edge 930 that makes contact with the ground when the one-step plow 100 is being pulled through the agricultural land, and the rear point 954 of the edge may be the last portion of the 930 edge to make contact with the ground when the one-step plow 100 is being pulled through the agricultural land. Additionally, the rear point 954 of the edge 930 can be located at the far end of the edge 930 relative to the front point 953. The edge angle 950 may be a vertical angle formed along the length of the edge 930 resulting in the front point 953 contacting the ground before the rear point 954. Similar to blade raising angle 945, blade angle 950 can help create a descending plow suction, thereby pulling the shear assembly 115 down into the ground or soil while the one-step plow 100 is pulling on through an agricultural land. The shear assembly 115 can be pulled down into the ground to the limits of one or more leveling wheels 1010 of the cylinder assembly 120, as explained in greater detail in the following with reference to FIGURE 10. The edge angle 950 can also be help lift cut vegetation and other soil materials so that material can be pulled up as it contacts the blade assembly 910. 4 Many different angles can be used for edge angle 950 such as, for example, angles that are less than about 45 degrees. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the edge angle 950 can be any angle within the range of about 5 degrees to about 30 degrees. It will be understood that, when the value of the edge angle 950 increases, the power required to pull the one-step plow 100 through the agricultural soil may increase. Additionally, the plow suction created by the blade assembly 910 may increase when the edge angle 950 increases. Conversely, when the value of the edge angle 950 decreases, the power required to pull the one-step plow through agricultural land may decrease. Additionally, the plow suction created by the blade assembly 910 may decrease when the edge angle 950 decreases. It will be understood that the value of the edge angle 950 can be adjustable or fixed for a given shear assembly 115. The stem guide assembly 915 or baffle assembly is also shown in FIGURE 9. The stem guide assembly 915 can help guide the stems of the crops through the one-step plow 100. The stem guide assembly 915 may include a stem driver support 955 and a baffle 960. The stem driver support 955 may be a horizontal arm or beam that is fixed or removably attached to the shear carrier 905 by a suitable means such as as for example, by bolts, screws, pins or welds. It will also be understood that the stem guide assembly 915 can be vertically adjustable along the length of the shear support 905, as described above with reference to the shear shaft 925. The baffle 960 may extend downward from any point along the length of the stem driver support 955 such as, for example, at the distal end of the stem driver support 955. The baffle 960 may extend downward from any point along the length of the stem driver support 955 such as, for example, at the distal end of the stem driver support 955. The deflector 960 can be fixedly or removably attached to the stem driver support 955 by any suitable means such as, for example, bolts, screws, pins or welds. Additionally, the baffle 960 can be adjusted laterally along the length of the stem driver support 955. The length of the baffle 960 can be determined in part by the depth at which the blade assembly 930 is pulling through the ground or the depth at which the one-step plow 100 is plowing. To help prevent the baffle 960 from wearing out, it may be desirable to prevent the baffle 960 from contacting the ground. Accordingly, the length of the baffle 960 can be any suitable length with minimal contact between the baffle 960 and the ground. The baffle 960 can also be connected to the stem driver bracket 955 in a wide variety of baffle angles 970 such as, for example, at an angle from about zero to about twenty degrees with respect to the side of the shear bracket 905. Baffle angle 970 can help guide any stems or other crop vegetation toward blade assembly 910. In addition, the face of the baffle 960 can be opened slightly towards the cultures in the baffle and the blade assembly 910 in the baffle angle 970, as shown in FIGURE 9A, thereby helping to guide the stems and vegetation towards the assembly. 910 of blade. In operation, stem guide assembly 915 can contact the stems and other vegetation and help guide them to blade assembly 910. When the stems and vegetation contact the stem conductor assembly 915, the stems and vegetation can be held in an upright position and / or pushed forward by the stem conductor assembly 915 when the one-step plow 100 pulls through. of a field, thus allowing the stems and vegetation to be cut more easily by the blade assembly 110. Additionally, for certain types of crops such as, for example, corn, the stem conductor assembly 915 can help raise stems and other vegetation when the stems and other vegetation make contact with the upper part of the stem conductor assembly 915. In addition to guiding the stems and vegetation toward the blade assembly 910, the stem guide assembly 915 can also assist in guiding the stems and vegetation in the cylinder assembly 120, as will be described in greater detail in the following with reference to FIGURE 10. It will be understood that many different types of stem guide assemblies may be used in accordance with the present invention in addition to or as an alternative to the stem guide assembly 915 described above. For example, a U-shaped collector or a plant elevator can be used as a stem-driving assembly according to the present invention. With general reference again to FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8, a cylinder assembly 120 can be attached to the tool bar 105 in a position behind one or more shear assemblies 115. FIGURE 10 is a partially exploded perspective view of a cylinder assembly 120 that can be used in conjunction with a one-step plow 100, in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention. Cylinder assembly 120 may include a cylinder body 1005, one or more leveling wheels 1010, one or more fences 1015, one more fences 1020 of fences, one or more blade assemblies 1025, and one or more axes 1030. One assembly 120 of six-row cylinder is depicted in FIGURE 10; however, it will be understood that a cylinder assembly 120 can be configured to operate in any number of rows of crops. Additionally, it will be understood that the one-step plow 100 may include one or more cylinder assemblies 120. The cylinder assembly 120 can be configured to roll when the one-step plow is pulled through a section of agricultural land. The cylinder assembly 120 can be rotated through the movement of the one-step plow 100 or, alternatively, the cylinder assembly 120 can be rotated by a motor. The cylinder body 1005 may be a circular tube that extends through substantially the entire length of the cylinder assembly 120. Cylinder body 1005 may be a hollow steel tube; however, it will be understood that a solid steel tube or a solid hollow tube formed of another material such as for example aluminum, other metals, plastic, synthetic fibers, polymers, ceramics or any combination of materials can be used for the body 1005 of cylinder. It will also be understood that the cylinder body 1005 need not be circular, but may take any form such as, for example, a hexagonal or octagonal tube. For purposes of the present disclosure, the cylinder body 1005 is described as a hollow steel tube because the hollow steel tube can provide at least partial resistance and support for the remainder of the cylinder assembly 120 while still maintaining a weight relatively light Additionally, the cylinder body 1005 is described as a circular tube because a circular tube can be easily rotated when the one-step plow 100 is pulled on the agricultural soil while causing less vibration than the tubes of other forms. The cylinder assembly 120 may additionally include one or more leveling wheels 1010. Each of one or more leveling wheels 1010 can be positioned laterally in a separate relationship along the cylinder body 1005 in the space or area between two adjacent rows of crops. Each of one or more leveling wheels 1010 can be attached fixedly or removably to the circumference of the cylinder body 1005 or, alternatively, one or more leveling wheels 1010 may not be attached to the circumference of the cylinder body 1005. Additionally, one or more 1010 leveling wheels can operate to support or carry the weight of the one-step plow 100 when the one-step plow 100 is pulled through the agricultural soil. One or more 1010 leveling wheels can be constructed of steel or any other suitable material such as, for example, rubber, aluminum, other metals, synthetic fibers, polymers, ceramics, a combination of materials. Additionally, it will be understood that one or more leveling wheels 1010 can be substantially or completely round wheels; however, it will be understood that other forms of leveling wheels 1010 may be used in accordance with the present invention, such as, for example, hexagonal or octagonal wheels. It will also be understood that many different values can be used for the diameter of one or more leveling wheels 1010 such as, for example, a diameter in the range of about 20.8 centimeters (20 inches) to about 88.9 centimeters (35 inches). According to one aspect of the present invention, the diameter of one or more leveling wheels 1010 may be approximately 61.12 centimeters (28 inches). The cylinder assembly 120 may additionally include one or more fences 1015 that operate to cut off any vegetation that is located at or near the top of the ground through which one or more fences 1015 are pulled. Each of one or more fences 1015 can be placed laterally in a separate relationship along the cylinder body 1005 so that they operate in the area between two adjacent rows of crop of a section of agricultural land. Additionally, each of one or more fences 1015 can be positioned laterally adjacent to one side of one or more leveling wheels 1010. Each of one or more fences 1015 can be additionally attached in a fixed or removable manner or connected to the circumference of the cylinder body 1005 and / or to an adjacent leveling wheel 1010. One or more fences 1015 can be constructed of steel or any other suitable material such as for example, aluminum, other metals, synthetic fibers, polymers, ceramics, or a combination of materials. Additionally, it will be understood that one or more fences 1015 may be substantially or completely round about an outer edge; however, it will be understood that other forms of fences 1015 may be used in accordance with the present invention, such as, for example, hexagonal or octagonal wheels. Each of one or more fences 1015 may include one or more parts. As shown in FIGURE 10, each of one or more fences 1015 may include a first grill half 1017 and a second grill half 1019; however, it will be understood that each of one or more fences 1015 may include more or less than two parts. By providing two halves 1017, 1019, each of the bars 1015 can be easily attached or connected to the cylinder body 1005 and / or a leveling wheel 1010. It will also be understood that each of one or more fences 1015 may be placed laterally or substantially close to the center between two rows of crops. While the one-step plow 100 is being pulled over the agricultural land, one or more fences 1015 can stabilize the one-step plow 100 and help prevent lateral movement of the one-step plow 100. In other words, one or more fences 1015 can help keep the plow 100 from a single step in a straight line as it is being pulled through the agricultural land. One or more fences 1015 can also help to cut off any vegetation or other debris that is present between one or more rows of crops, thereby helping in the prevention of accumulation of vegetation and other debris in the chisel assembly 130 and / or the device 135 of pallets, as will be explained in more detail in the following with reference to FIGURE 11 and FIGURE 12. The diameter of one or more "bars 1015 may be larger than the diameter of one or more 1010 leveling wheels. Providing a larger diameter for one or more fences 1015 can assist in the lateral stabilization of the one-step plow 100. It will be understood that many different diameters can be used for one or more fences 1015 such as, for example, a diameter that is approximately five point zero eight to twenty point thirty two centimeters (two to eight inches) greater than the diameter of one or more 1010 leveling wheels. According to one aspect of the present invention, the diameter of one or more fences 1015 can be approximately fifteen point twenty-four centimeters (six inches) greater than the diameter of one or more leveling wheels 1010. Accordingly, if one or more leveling wheels 1010 have a diameter of approximately 71.12 centimeters (28 inches), one or more fences 1015 may have a diameter of approximately 86.36 centimeters (34 inches). Additionally, one or more fences 1015 can extend into the ground and cut or skew any vegetation found when the one-step plow 100 is pulled through a field. If the diameter of one or more fences 1015 is approximately fifteen point twenty-four centimeters (six inches) greater than the diameter of one or more 1010 leveling wheels, then one or more fences 1015 may extend approximately seven point sixty-two centimeters (three inches) on the ground and cut or skew any vegetation found. The cylinder assembly 120 may also include one or more grate retainers 1020. Each of one or more grid retainers 1020 may be positioned laterally adjacent a gate 1015. One or more gate retainers 1020 may operate to help secure and reinforce the gate 1015 that is adjacent thereto. Each of one or more grid retainers 1020 may be attached and additionally connected in a fixed or removable manner to the circumference of the cylinder body 1005 and / or to an adjacent grid 1015. One or more grid retainers 1020 may be constructed of steel or any other suitable material such as, for example, aluminum, other metals, synthetic fibers, polymers, ceramics, or a combination of materials. Additionally, it will be understood that one or more grid retainers 1020 may be substantially or completely round along an outer edge; however, it will be understood that other forms of grid retainers 1020 may be used in accordance with the present invention, such as, for example, hexagonal or octagonal wheels. Each of one or more grid retainers 1020 may include one or more parts. As shown in FIGURE 10, each of one or more grate retainers 1020 may include a first grate retainer half 1022 and a second grate retainer half 1024.; however, it will be understood that each of one or more grid retainers 1020 may include more or less than two parts. By providing two halves 1022, 1024, each of the grid retainers 1020 can be easily attached or connected to the cylinder body 1005 and / or a grate 1015. Additionally, the two halves 1022, 1024 of a grate retainer 1020 can be displaced per phase from the two halves 1017.1019 of an adjacent gate 1015, thus providing greater resistance to the gate 1015 and to the gate retainer 1020. A wide range of phase displacement may be used in accordance with the present invention, when a grid retainer 1020 is placed laterally adjacent a grid 1015 such as, for example, a phase shift of 180 degrees. The cylinder assembly 120 may additionally include one or more blade assemblies 1025. One or more blade assemblies 1025 can be positioned laterally along the cylinder body 1005 so that a blade assembly 1025 is present between each set of adjacent leveling wheels 1010. Additionally, the center of each blade assembly 1025 can be longitudinally aligned with a corresponding shear assembly 115 positioned in front of the blade assembly 1025, so that the blade assembly 1025 can be operated to roll through a row of crops. In each of one or more blade assemblies 1025 may include one or more blades 1035 that extend radially. Each of one or more blades 1035 may be connected or attached permanently or removably to a blade assembly 1040 by any suitable means such as, for example, bolts, bolts, pins, welds or any combination of joining means. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, in each of one or more blades 1035 a blade assembly 1040 can be removably attached, thereby allowing the restitution of each individual blade as desired by a user of the plow 100 one step The blade mounts 1040 may further be fixedly or removably attached to the cylinder body 1005 by any suitable means such as, for example, bolts, screws, pins, welds or any combination of attachment means. It will be understood that the side widths of one or more blades 1035 and one or more blade assemblies 1040 along the length of cylinder body 1005 may be any positive lateral width such as, for example, approximately forty-five point seventy-two. centimeters (eighteen inches). By providing one or more blades 1035 and one or more blade assemblies 1040 that are approximately forty-five point seventy-two centimeters (eighteen inches) wide, each blade assembly 1025 may be operable to work in a row of crops with a seedbed width of approximately forty-five point seventy-two centimeters (eighteen inches) or less. For each of one or more blade assemblies 1025, one or more blades 1035 and one or more blade assemblies 1040 may be spaced along the circumference of the cylinder body 1005. The spacing between each set of blades 1035 and blade assemblies 1040 can be determined at least in part by the number of blades 1035 that is included in each blade assembly 1025. According to one aspect of the present invention, one or more blades 1035 may be spaced along the circumference of the cylinder body 1005 so that the distance between each set of adjacent blades 1035 is substantially the same. Additionally, any number of blades 1035 may be incorporated in each blade assembly 1025 such as, for example, six blades, eight blades, or ten blades. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, four to twenty blades 1035 may be incorporated in each blade assembly 1025. In operation, as each of one or more blade assemblies 1025 is pulled or rotated through a row of crops, the 1035 blades can be used to crush vegetation, stems and other residues in the ground. The 1035 blades can also assist in the aeration, fracturing and / or placement of manure and straw from the ground. By crushing vegetation, stems and other debris on the ground, the 1035 blades can help in the placement of vegetation, stems and other residues in future nurseries, thus promoting the subsequent decomposition of vegetation, stems and other debris, as will explain in more detail in the following with reference to FIGURE 12 and FIGURE 14. When the number of blades 1035 used in a blade assembly 1025 increases, the amount of aeration, ground fracturing and / or placement of manure and straw made by blade assembly 1025 can increase; however, when the number of blades 1035 increases, it may become easier for the soil and other materials to compact between two adjacent blades 1035, thereby sealing the blade assembly 1025 and interfering with its intended operation. It will be understood that each of one or more blades 1035 may take a variety of forms such as, for example, a rectangular, square or triangular shape. Each of one or more blades 1035 may additionally include a cutting edge 1045 at its distal end which may assist in the placement of manure and straw on vegetation, stems and other debris. The cutting edge 1045 can also function to help prevent the cylinder assembly 1020 and the single-step plow 100 from rising when the cylinder assembly 120 rolls through a field, because the edge 1045 can penetrate the ground when the cylinder assembly 120 is rotated through a field. The edge 1045 can also take a variety of shapes and the shape of the edge 1045 need not be the same as the shape of a blade 1035. For example, a blade 1035 can have a rectangular shape and the edge 1045 can have a triangular shape or arched It will also be understood that many different values may be used for the distance in which each blade 1035 extends away from the circumference of the cylinder body 1005. For example, the distance in which each blade 1035 extends away from the circumference of the cylinder body 1005, or the length of the blade, may be approximately fifteen point twenty-four to twenty-two point eighty-six centimeters (six to nine inches). There are several considerations that can be taken into account when selecting an appropriate length for a blade 1035. First, it may be advantageous if the blade 1035 does not contact the shear assembly 115 placed in front of the cylinder assembly 120. Additionally, to help prevent wear on the blade 1035, it may be beneficial if the blade 1035 does not extend more than about two point fifty-four or five point eight centimeters (one or two inches) beyond the diameter of a wheel 1010 bulldozer For example, setting the length of the blade 1035 to approximately two point fifty-four centimeters (one inch) beyond the diameter of a leveling wheel 1010 can also help prevent compaction of the soil when the cylinder assembly 120 is rotated to through a field. It will be understood that when the length of the blade 1035 becomes smaller, less lift will be provided to the cylinder assembly 120 and the one-way plow 100 through the blade 1035; however, the vibrations that occur when the cylinder assembly 120 rolls through a field can be increased. The cylinder assembly 120 may additionally include one or more shafts 1030. Each of one or more shafts 1030 may be used to connect the cylinder assembly 120 to one or more cylinder support arms 175.
(FIGURE A) that can be placed laterally at each end of the cylinder assembly 120. As shown in FIGURE 10, a shaft 1030 can be positioned laterally at each end of the cylinder assembly 120 and the axes 1030 can extend partially towards the cylinder body 1005. However, it will be understood that it is possible to use a single shaft 1030 that extends completely through the cylinder body 1005. A cylinder support arm 175, as shown in FIGURE A and FIGURE IB, may be connected to a shaft 1030 at each end of the cylinder assembly 120. At one end of a cylinder support arm 175, the cylinder support arm 175 can be attached or connected fixedly or removably to the tool bar 105 of the one-step plow 100 by any suitable form of attachment such as, for example, bolts, screws, pins, welds or a combination of attachments. It will also be understood that the cylinder support arm 175 can be laterally adjustable along the length of the tool bar 105. At its distal end, the support assembly 175 can be connected to a shaft 1030. A shaft 1030 can extend into the cylinder support arm 175 and through one or more bearings that are attached to the cylinder support arm 175 at its end. distant. Accordingly, the cylinder assembly 120 can be attached or connected to one or more support assemblies 175 such that the cylinder assembly 120 is free to roll. Referring again to FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8, it may be advantageous to minimize the distance between a shear assembly 115 and a corresponding blade assembly 1025 of the cylinder assembly 120. As explained in more detail in the following, minimizing this distance can contribute to vegetation, stems, soil and other debris being worked more easily by the single-step plow 100 because the movement of vegetation, stems, soil and other waste can be constant and maintained when the one-step plow 100 is pulled through a field. Additionally, minimizing the distance between a shear assembly 115 and a corresponding blade assembly 1025 can help to concentrate a greater weight portion of the one-step plow 100 toward the front of the one-step plow 100, thereby making easier than the one-step plow 100 is lifted by an impeller. Many different distances may exist between a shear assembly 115 and a corresponding blade assembly 1025 such as, for example, within a range of about 1.27 centimeters (0.5 inches) to about 7.62 centimeters (3 inches). According to one aspect of the present invention, the distance between a shear assembly 115 and a corresponding blade assembly 1025 can be approximately two point fifty-four centimeters (one inch) or less. It will also be understood that the positions in which one or more blades 1035 of the adjacent blade assemblies 1025 are connected or attached to the diameter of the cylinder body 1005 can be moved by phase relative to each other. The cross section of the cylinder assembly 120 shown in FIGURE 8 represents a blade assembly 1025 that is adjacent to the blade assembly 1025 shown in FIGURE 7. When comparing FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8, it can be seen that the positions in FIG. which one or more blades 1035 are attached to the blade assembly 1025 of FIGURE 7 can be moved by phase from the positions in which one or more blades 1035 are attached to the adjacent knife assembly 1025 of FIGURE 8. It will be understood that many Different alignments of one or more blades 1035 may be used in accordance with the present invention. For example, one or more blades 1035 of a blade assembly 1025 can be positioned at the center points along the circumference of the cylinder body 1005 between one or more blades 1035 of an adjacent blade assembly 1025. By moving by phase or placing one or more blades 1035 of a blade assembly 1025 in a configuration different from that of an adjacent blade assembly 1025, the elevation generated by the cylinder assembly 120 can be minimized. Additionally, less vibration may occur when the cylinder assembly 120 is rotated through a field, thereby assisting in the stabilization of the one-step plow 100. With continued reference to FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8, one or more ground work implements may be connected to each of one or more support arms 125 extending backward from the tool bar 105.

A chisel assembly 130 can be placed behind one of the bars 1015 of the cylinder assembly 120. The chisel blade 110 can operate under the floor surface and can break the ground before a pallet device 135 operates on the ground. Additionally, the chisel blade 1010 can help aerate and release the soil between two adjacent rows of crops. It will be understood that the chisel blade 1110 can be configured to operate at many different soil depths such as, for example, at a depth between about twenty point thirty-two centimeters (eight inches) and about thirty point forty-eight centimeters (twelve inches) . If the chisel blade 1110 contacts an object or substance that can not be plowed, the scroll shaft 1115 can advance, causing the chisel blade 1110 to articulate backward. Once the displacement shaft 1115 has been advanced, the chisel blade 1110 can no longer operate to break the ground, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The various components of the chisel assembly 130 may be constructed of steel or any other suitable material such as, for example, iron, other metals, synthetic fibers, polymers, ceramics or a combination of materials.
