More walking plows are found on Ameri- can farms than any of the other types. Fig. 194 shows the parts of a walking plow. These should be learned by every one who ever expects to operate a plow. Sulky plows. — Sulky plows are those attached to a frame set on wheels. The frame serves to regulate the depth of plowing. Usually there is a seat on the frame where the operator can ride. The implement shown in Fig. 195 is termed a reversible sulky plow. It is provided with two plow bottoms, right-hand and left-hand. When plowing back and forth across a field, one of these plow bottoms is used for a trip one way and at the end Fig. 197. — Disc plow. of the furrow the implement is turned and the other plow bot- tom used for a trip the other way of the field. Gang plows. — Plows made to turn two or more furrows at once are known as gang plows (Fig. 196). They are moved by horses or tractors and are very efficient machines for rapid plowing. In Fig. 196 is pictured a ten-bottom gang plow pro- pelled by a tractor and followed by a corrugated roller. An outfit like this will turn over much land in a day. Disc plows. — A rotating disc is used instead of a curved moldboard in the disc plows (Fig. 197). These implements are especially useful in heavy soils and are popular in many localities.
