Sod Plow

 

Because of their root systems, most plain grasses were extremely difficult to turn when plowed for the first time. In the right kinds of soil, they could not be turned with oxen or equines and conventional plows. Sod plows like this one used horizontal plow shares to cut through the roots and turn the ground. This one is of unknown date and origin.
