Summary
editDescriptionFarmers of forty centuries - Shantung plow.jpg |
English: A Shantung plow, simple but effective. This plow had a good steel point, as a separate, blunt, V-shaped piece, and a mold board of cast steel with a good twist which turned the soil well. The standard and sole were of wood and at the end of the beam was a block for gauging the depth of furrow. The cost of this plow, to the farmer, was $2.15, gold, and when the day's work is done it is taken home on the shoulders, even though the distance may be a mile or more, and carefully housed. |
