Plows for Sweet Potato Harvesting

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

Plows used to dig sweet potatoes. “The long vines must be first disposed of. They are usually pulled by running a plow on each side of the row. This work is done much more satisfactorily if the line of plants be barred off with a turn-plow, to the beam of which is attached a rolling coulter, which cuts the vines close to the row.” —Dugger 1911
