plow

A tillage vehicle used in farming by attaching to the back of a towing vehicle such as a tractor to plow the soil (turning the soil upside down and aerating it) before planting. Ear and disc plows only tilt the soil to one side and this tilting is usually to the right.

The main working parts of the plow are the tines and cleats. The plow bar is a piece of hardened steel iron and its job is to split the soil as the plow moves forward. The soil lifted by the plow point iron goes back to the ears, and the ears take this soil and dump it outside as manure.
