:) The "landside" is the long piece on the left side (assuming the plow turns the soil to the right) of the "bottom" that runs against the unplowed ground and keeps the "bottom" from being pushed to the left! Here's some more terminology!
Bottom = the plow unit, which consists of:
Beam = the curved or trussed bar that holds the
Frog = which has the following attached to it:
Share = the cutting edge that cuts the bottom of the furrow
Point = sometimes added to lead point of the share
Moldboard = long curved piece that actually rolls the soil over
Moldboard extension = extension to the outer end of moldboard, helps prevent the furrow slice from rolling back
Trash board = mini moldboard above shin to help cover rank vegetation
Shin = vertical cutting edge ahead of the moldboard cuts vertical edge of the furrow
Landside = as described above
Heel = wear piece sometimes attached to outer end of landside

There are a bunch more parts that are attached to various places on the plow units such as coulters, root cutters, trip bottoms, auto re-set bottoms, etc, but that's another topic for another day, and perhaps another poster :roll: :lol:
