NEW GROUND PLOW
New ground plows, such as this one equipped with coulters, named after the man who designed them, were locally called new ground plows. Coulters were designed as fin coulters and rolling coulters. Both types were effective where roots and brush were a problem. This plow has both types of coulters.
