Allan: I realize that, however here in eastern Canada, and I've seen the same in New England, folks call the plow a Tumble Bug.

There is another thread going right now about quack diggers, term coming out of WI. Lowell A who lives in WI, born and raised in IA, said when he first moved to WI, he couldn't imagine what a quack digger was. My thoughts are spring tooth harrow and Lowell confirmed this and that he knew it as a spring tooth harrow, growing up in IA.
