OSE Keyline Plow with Hydraulic Release
(note: wheel shown on one side only, other side is identical. Lifted position of keyline shank is shown)
.
Design Rationale
- Modular wheels
- Raisable wheels
- Hydralic cylinder with pressure relief (not hydraulic accumulator) is used for release
- Valve operated return-to-soil via control valve in cab
- 3' shank length total, 2' depth max
- Shank release angle is 45%, using an 3"x8" hydraulic cylinder
- 1" pivot through box beam tubing serves as shank pivot point
- Shank is welded to 12" of box beam tubing
- Height adjustment occurs via hydraulically lifted wheels, or via adjusting height via pin on the box beam tubing
- Designed around Universal Drawbar
- Designed for up to 4 shanks at 2' spacing
- Extensible in width by adding more box beam tubing
- Modular coulter wheels are attachable in front of shanks
- Designed for carrying fluid (water, compost tea, etc) on top of frame.
- Idler wheels can be doubled for a total of 6400 lb load capacity on wheels (1600 lb each wheel)
- Wheels are car donuts with two 1-7/8" bearings
- Shank is 1"x6" mild steel
- Tip should be welded with tungsten powder
Suggestions and Comments

- Winged tip vs conventional tip subsoilers - [1]
- Yeomans discussion - soil can be built up with keyline plowing faster than it can be eroded
