Hugh,
Looks like the MN, IA and WI boys mostly call it a "Trip Plow". Must be that metric terminology that makes you wonder what a trip plow is. I guess the trip plow term was used when the hydraulic lift came into being, so not to confuse the two different mechanisms (the trip/reset moldboards hadn"t even been invented yet in those years).
We are all lucky to NOT be plowing with a hand clutch John Deere with a trip rope plow. I saw more than one farmer years ago who had the plow trip on a rock, then unhook. Then he would back up his JD to close enuf to rehook, then get off the tractor (leaving it in reverse gear), then with his left hand he would lift the plow hitch off the ground, and with his right hand he would reach forward and "gently" nudge forward the hand clutch so as to get that JD to come back slowly for the rehook. Those old B and A JD often had a real jerky clutch (I always thought they all had a jerky clutch), and as the clutch was pushed ahead, the tractor would back against that pressure. I was always afraid that JD would back up right over that operator because he had no place to escape. Still gives me the chills when I think about what could have happened. Hooking up a disc was often done the same way...and was just as dangerous.
