Oh the "square plow!" OK in light land I am told.It was invented in USA apparently by someone who had never seen a rollover plow (Well thats the story I heard ) They started marketing them in the UK and they went out of fashion just as quickly again why? Well for one thing the ones I saw had no skimmers (jointers? those mini plows that put the trash into the furrow bottom ) so unless the soil was very light, trash burial was a bit iffy.A bit better than a disc plow but not much. Another problem was that once the leading edge of the share wore a bit,( there is no 'plow point' as such) or the land was hard, penetration was poor. One thing about the rollover, reversible or whatever you want to call them, the plow bodies that are not actually in work at the time do act as weights, very useful if the land is a bit dry and hard.
