  • Thanks for viewing. One plow is a left, the other is a right. They wanted to have the turned over dirt going in the same direction. Also these horses are not use to pulling a plow. They need the rest on the return.

  • @userunavailable3095 I had a gee haw plow, but I never used it, as my team was too small to plow. I only know about them from my grandfather's descriptions. But he always said that without one, you had to keep returning to the other end to plow the same direction on a hill.

  • @seancarm My guess would be they aren't plowing on the return because they are on a slope. The old timers used a hillside turning plow, or gee and haw plow for hillsides, so that all the turned earth would be facing uphill.  I'm not sure if that was for erosion control, or just that it was harder to keep the plow in the ground when turning downhill.

  • for teams that aren't use to plowing they sure plowed the first furrow straight. Mine would never go that straight!

  • why aren't they plowing on the return?
