This post goes with the post below about the plow not seen before. I will try to post pictures again!

Responding to my post: yes this is a terrace plow. Can also be used just to make ditches for drainage. Seen at a Sullivan auction near Carthage, il. 2016

That's identical to the one I own. Only mine doesn't have any paint left.

Whirl Wind Terrace plow. We had one back on the farm in KS. Probably could call it my Grandpas. I believe my uncle may still have it. I cannot remember it ever having to much paint on it either. Here is a video of one in action.

I found this mounted version on a ploughing site over here, being used as a normal type plough and leaving a seedbed-finish.

Whirl Wind Plow built by Southwest Plow Dallas Texas. They were used to build Terraces to control erosion in the 40s and 50s.

Neat. Kind of slings the dirt, but look like it make a fine seed bed.

I saw one of those in use very interesting. Mr. Big Mouth know it all was talking loud ( he wanted everyone to hear what he had to say} about how He didn't like the job plow was doing.
Someone tried to tell him plow was doing what it was made to do.

I also have one ,it was my grandfathers ,it was sold at his auction in the late 70's to my great uncle, I later bought it from him, my grandpa used it to make ditches and to build a drive way , it is a IH 1 bottom plow with a Servis terracing attachment , mounted on it , I was told it has a F 12 or F14 transmission ,the higher the gear the faster the auger turned the further the dirt would fly, I have seen one on a 2 bottom , they work the best in loose soil , not sod . I live in central Minnesota , I plan to use it this summer to do a little ditching
