(under the class definition) Apparatus including a frame or chassis and a supporting means adapted to move a digging means transversely of the line of draft, said digging means consisting solely of a single series of peripherally-spaced earth-engaging elements, the said elements moving relative to said frame or chassis in a closed path defining a surface of revolution, a cross section of which surface conforms to the shape of a single element of said series, said elements being adapted to work through the soil to push or impact plants or buried objects either in situ through the earth or through soil lifted from its natural position to remove them from said earth or soil.
(1) Note. Bifurcated- or forked-earth- engaging elements have been excluded and have been classified in pertinent subclasses herebelow.
