Not a turn plow but, the other one. What was it called?

[stuckmotor]

In the days when a team of horses was hitched to a plow with a mold board to turn over fields in the spring they were called turn plows. At least that's what they're called today and they are plenty of photos of them on the internet.

After row crops were planted people in my area cultivated them with plows pulled down the row by a single mule. The plow had a wooden beam and steel foot to which a variety if points were attached using a heel bolt. Vintage Single Plow Heel Bolt Primitive Horse Mule Drawn | Etsy. Wide points were called shovels and might have been used to plow up potatoes, shovels that were cut in half and only threw dirt one way were half shovels, and the narrowest points were called scooters. Scooters often had a pair of wings, or sweeps bolted behind them to plow a wide shallow furrow and prevent or kill weeds and grass.
WHAT WERE THOSE PLOWS CALLED?
I only remember calling them plows and haven't even found a photo on the internet. The reference to "Single Plow" Heel Bolt in the link above is the best I could do and "Single Plow" doesn't sound familiar.

The only types I'm familiar with - moldboard, disk, ridge & chisel. I had a middle buster with wings on my old Troy Bilt. Used it with success to hill up young spuds. Once the spuds got larger it wouldn't work because the Troy Bilt couldn't span the spud plants. The spud rows would have had to be planted too wide to use it between the rows.

Bull tongue? That may have been the small plow we used to "roll" taters out with and not the whole thing itself.

Maybe try horse drawn cultivators. Innumerable combinations of ground engaging variations.

Furrowing plows?

Furrowing plows?

Is that the same thing as a Lister?

in a way it almost sounds like a spring toothed harrow

I've always heard them called cultivators, not any kind of plow. Different ground-engaging parts were changed as needed.

I think there's still one or more of those plows at the farm. If I can get a good picture and figure how to put it up, I will. It could take a while. Thanks for all of your contributions none ring a bell.

There is another type of disk plow. The disks are large and few of them. The disks are turned almost horizontal to the direction of travel. I just can't think what they are called nor can I find a picture.
