Plowing a field takes a lot of power; a tractor is used to pull
a set of plows. |
|
2.
The plowshare or blade cuts the soil; then the soil is lifted
and turned by the curved shape of the metal blade. |
 |
|
 |
| 3.
Five plowshares cut through the soil in one pass. |
|
4.
One pass is lined up with the previous pass of the plows. After
plowing, the field is rough- too rough for the planting process. |
 |
|
 |
| 5.
Next the disk is attached to the tractor. The disk tool cuts
through the plowed soil to help break it apart. |
|
6.
The field is then cultimulched using these tools to even the
soil. At left this mechanism removes any large lumps. The tines
to the right then pull through the soil to even it out. We are
ready to plant something ! |
