Point for a soil working tool, agricultural implement and method of manufacturing a point

Abstract

A point (10) for a soil-working tool for an agricultural implement is disclosed. The point has a predetermined working direction (Dw) and a predetermined working orientation. The point (10) comprises a point body (101) with a pair of opposite and laterally extending wing portions (102a, 102b), the point body (101) having a front portion having a leading edge portion (103) and a pair of generally forwardly facing first edge portions (104a, 104b), the first edge portions provided on a respective one of the wing portions, and a rear portion, having a pair of generally forwardly facing second edge portions (105a, 105b), the second edge portions provided on a respective one of the wing portions (102a, 102b), wherein each of the first edge portions (104a, 104b) extends rearwardly and laterally outwardly from the leading edge portion (103), when the point is in the predetermined working orientation, and wherein each of the second edge portions (105a, 105b) extends laterally outwardly from a rearmost part of one of the respective first edge portions (104a, 104b), when the point is in the predetermined working orientation, wherein, as seen in a projection on a horizontal plane when the point is in the working orientation, each of the first edge portions (104a, 104b) presents a first cutting edge (1041a, 1041b), which is straight and extends at a first angle (A1) of about 150-170 degs, preferably about 158-162 degs, to the working direction (Dw). Each of the second edge portions (105a, 105b) presents a second cutting edge (1051a, 1051b) extending at a second angle (A2) to the working direction (Dw), which is smaller than the first angle (Al) by at least 15 degs, preferably 20 degs or 25 degs.
