Also would like to know what he is talking about,We all know about the disc harrow, the spike tooth, drag, harrow and the spring tooth harrow but a single harrow plow, is he talking about a shovel plow?

I've also noticed the different terms used around the country for the same implements. Like 'drag' plows, where we call them pull-type. Disc harrow is not a new term to me, but we just called them 'discs'. A drag was like the old Boss drag- wooden sections with spike teeth driven through the 2x2's. No wheels-load everything on a wagon to get it to the next field, or a quick pull down the gravel road if it was close by and no one coming! We started calling drags 'harrows' when the coil tine units came along. But a single harrow horse drawn plough is a new one.

Interesting how terms vary from region, to region. The harrow originally was made of wood, with wooden or metal spikes that helped break up the plowed ground prior to planting. Later the disc harrow replaced the wooden version and in man regions became known simply as a disc. What I refer to as a disc my father-in-law calls a disc harrow (he prounces it harr).

The wooden version lost its spikes and in some regions it is called a drag, or drag harrow still.

All names are derived in one way or another from the original harrows the farmers made, but improvements and regional differences led to different names for the same implements.

I wonder if the original poster was actually talking about a one bottom plow, or a one furrow plow?

Ok, I'm stupid. What is a "harrow horse drawn ploughs"? I know what a plow is, & I know what a harrow is. I know what a disk is, and I finally figured out some of you call them 'disk harrows' altho they are never called that around here.

But I haven't heard of a 'harrow plow' yet.... :)
