Large Plow
The large plow was pulled by two horses and allowed an individual to ride rather than walk behind the plow. The operator was able to set the depth of the cut by adjusting the levers. This plow is a one way plow. The next advancement in plows was the two way plow. This allowed the operator to plow going both directions and still roll dirt the same way. This doubled the amount of acreage that could be plowed.
This plow is from the Terry Ranch on the Beaver Dam Wash and was donated by the Family of Edward Sirls Terry, son of Thomas Sirls and Hannah Terry.
