Hi Deas, Yes, I'm familiar with your type of "plows". We call them one-ways here. A gang of large discs running at a rather steep angle to the direction of travel thereby cutting like a knife thru butter. Very common on large acreage’s (wheat fields), as you say. No, what I'm talking about are the moldboard plows, which actually have two bottoms for each one "bottom" used. The opposing bottoms are stacked upside-down to one another and one set of moldboards are facing the opposite throw than the set which is currently in the ground. In other words, you always have a set of moldboards standing mounted upside-down on top of the “in ground set” and they are always riding out of the ground. They are built along the idea of the old tumble plows, but the bottom sets are hydraulically rotated or 'spun' over a center tube sideways instead of lengthwise. This allows the plowing operation to run in both directions (returning right back into your furrow at the end of the field) and still throw the soil in the same direction, thereby allowing one to plow a field from one side to the other without leaving that dead furrow(s) in the middle of the field. Most common on irrigated farms and where a lot of trash has to be turned under. Hope I've given you a mental picture; if I had a digital pic, I'd post it. :>) Regards, Allan

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
