Design Of A Folding V-Scraper With Roller For Orchard Applications, Chase Ulrich
Design Of A Folding V-Scraper With Roller For Orchard Applications, Chase Ulrich
BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
This senior project discusses the design of a folding 15 ft. wide leveler for orchard use. This design utilized a category 2 three-point hitch to connect the implement to a tractor. The folding mechanism uses the tractors hydraulic system to actuate the folding movement using hydraulic cylinders. The blades, when wings in operational position, are rigid with one another after some assembly. When the implement is folded the width is reduced to nine feet.

Modification Of A Draw Bar Type Arena Harrow To Three Point Mounted Type Harrow, Clayton Alan Brown
BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
This senior project will be the design, and construction of a three point hitch to be attached to a draw bar type spike tooth harrow. Currently used by the Cal Poly Rodeo Team to cultivate their arena before performances, and practices.
The attachment will allow the harrow to be pulled in both directions to create different types of soil affects.
Also the fabrications has a minimal budget so the majority of the materials will be scrap material already in position of the rodeo team or donated to the project.
