[DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION]

[Problems to be solved by the Invention]
[0004] Meanwhile, an L-shaped tine suitable for finely graining the soil is known as the tillage tine, other than the curved-knife tine. The rotary tilling apparatus is normally configured to install a single type of the tillage tine, and thus it is hard for the curved-knife tine and the L-shaped tine to provide equivalent tillage performance when the curved-knife tine and the L-shaped tine is installed in an identical way.
In addition, the revolution shaft revolves a plurality of flanges in the tilling operation by the rotary tilling apparatus, the flanges being attached on and along the revolution shaft, and thus the plurality of tillage tines attached to the flanges till an agricultural field and the like. The soil and the like are attached to the revolution shaft, the flanges, the tillage tines, and the like in the tilling operation. When the attaching soil and the like grow into clods, the soil is accumulated in the rotary tilling apparatus, and thus the accumulation causes a large load applied to the flanges and the revolution shaft.
[0005] The present invention intends to provide an arrangement structure of the tillage tine for the tilling apparatus, the arrangement structure allowing two types of tillage tines to sufficiently produce the tillage performance whichever the two types of tillage tines are attached.
In addition, the present invention is intends to provide an arrangement structure of the tillage tine for the tilling apparatus, the arrangement structure being capable of reducing the load even when the soil and the like are accumulated into the clods.
