Hereford Guy - 3/24/2018 21:08 Answer a question for me here guys. Looking at the plow discussion below I got to thinking how I have only (rarely) used a furrow plow. Why would you want an on land plow over a furrow plow? Just trying to learn something here.

For plows to work properly you have to pull the plow in the line of draft.  In other words the center of the plow should line up with the center of the drawbar.  As plows got bigger the line of draft moved over towards the unplowed ground.  To keep the center of the tractor on the line of draft, you had to move the tractor over, which means getting the tractor out of the furrow, and up on land.  So in other words the bigger plows are generally on land plows.
