Why cannot people use the name on the front of the owners manual for a piece of machinery, or the name for a part in the parts manual put out by the factory? If they would it would help others in answering questions and also the parts man when you go to buy repairs? Every body should have those manuals.
 
Not everyone has a manual. Most don't. Then there are the 'newbys' who have never been around farm equipment before.They have no clue.It is our job to educate them.Also,different areas have different names foe equipment. I learned that when I moved 300 miles from Colorado's eastern slope to the western slope.One example is 'markers'. Here they are called 'scribes'.A 'marker bar' is a tool used to make the rows.Water marks;marker shovels..Other areas call them currogators;row makers;bed shapers.The same machine,different names.Here we have a 'Mormon creaser' That same tool on the eastern slope was called a "currogator".
 
The ones that I just don't understand is when someone talks about a "set" of "plows", or "set" of "discs". There is only 1 plow. It may have multiple bottoms, but it is still only 1 plow. :)

Same with "cultivators". I never heard that referred to in the plural till I started reading forums and tractor magazines. It was always just one cultivator, regardless of how many rows it covered.
