Description

This 19th century plowing system has a mostly metal frame with 2 wooden handles for pushing and 3 wheels to across fields easier and in strait lines. One of the wooden handles has a lever attached that, when held in, holds the seed box near the front of the machine open so seeds can fall simultaneously into the long trench created in the soil by the till on the bottom of the machine.
