Abstract

A yieldable disc blade assembly for individual disc blades which prevents structural damage of the disc blades when such blades contact a rock or other obstruction in the field. Once the disc blade is tripped by the force of the blade encountering an obstruction, the assembly requires a decreased force to move the disc blade from the normal working position to the yielding position away from the obstruction.
