I know that they flip over so you can go down the same furrow you just left, but other than that I have no clue.
Do they have a lever to drop the plow and to lift it, and a second lever to roll the plow?
Or does it flip the plow shares over when a fella is done with furrow and he pulls the rope trip to pull the shares out of the ground?
I may go buy one friday and want to know how the work exactly so I can assess the plow.
much thanks,
Aaron

Never heard of a TumbleBug plow, but my neighbor has a TumbleBug round bale mover. Looks pretty handy. Just back up to it, an arm drops down over the bale, and drive off (sorta).

We've got the equivalent of the TumbleBug plow in the horesdrawn implement - a hillside plow. When ya got to the end of the furrow ya kicked a lever an' layed the handles over. The mule would give a little tug and the plow'd do a flip, lock in place and off yu'd go agin. It was kinda a V-shaped plowshare—same on both sides—not like a mouldboard. Ya plowed backards and forwards cause the mule couldn't throw the dirt up the hill—jes kept throwin it down hill. Don't know why you'd wanna use enything like that on flat land.

What you are describing is a "Rollover Plow". Tumblebug was the trade name for a dirt scraper that, when filled with dirt, a rope trip would allow the scraper to roll over on it's frame to dump the dirt. Rollover plows are designed to hydraulically or mechanically turn over so the dirt is thrown only one way to keep the land as level as possible, mostly for irrigating purposes.
