In addition to smirky's comments there were steering components to many of the semi-mounted plows. There were also early ones for the IH 2-point fasthitch. With plows with a higher number of bottoms the forward plows could be lowered into the ground first with the rear plows going into the ground as they reach the start of the furrow. At the end of the pass the forward plows could be lifted first while the rear plows completed their furrows. Semi-mounted plows were generally 5 bottoms or more although there were some 4 bottom in the early days.

There are many 4-16" and 4-18" semi-mounts around my part of the country, many of them later models. I have even seen an IH 3-18" semi-mount, and it didn't look cut down from a bigger one.

Melroe and others also built three bottom semi-mount plows. Generally the semimounted plows are also steerable: a fully mounted large plow swings in quite an arc behind the tractor as it is being turned. The steerable plow has a linkage between the three-point hitch and the tail wheel which steers the plow in a narrower arc, so it follows the path of the tractor. Interesting as that is, some antique plows also had a steering mechanism built into them, even though they were only two or three bottom plows.

semi mount means it is mounted onto the tractor(usually to the 3 point hitch) but is also supported at the rear functionally by the tail wheel. your tractor would need to have a remote hydraulic cylinder to lift the rear of the plow. a fully mounted plow would lift the plow entirely by the tractor 3 point hitch. benefits of a semi mounted is that a larger heavy plow is not entirely lifted by the tractor hitch sometimes causing instability of the tractor, also with the plow supported both in the front and rear, each can be raised or lowered independly allowing better plowing adjustment on the go.
