SHOCK ABSORBING SUPPORT FOR A TYNE, AND A TYNE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A shock absorbing support for a tyne is arranged to support a tyne (12) for pivotal movement of the support (10) and tyne (12) as an assembly. The support also comprises a shock absorbing means (32) arranged to absorb shock forces on the tyne (12). In another aspect, the invention provides a tyne assembly which includes a tyne (12) adapted to be supported in a depending position from a horticultural frame and to mount a ground working tool at or adjacent a lower end of the tyne. A sowing boot (52) is secured to the tyne (12) for pivotal movement between a forward, deeper sowing position in which the seed may be directed into a furrow formed bythe tool before it has closed over, and a rearward, shallower sowing position in which the seed is thrown back behind the closed over furrow.
