Interesting answers to your question. Others described the lift mechanism, while Bob and I referred to the 'trip' on the plow bottom. Other descriptions of the lift mechanism are wheel lift and ground lift- same thing, activated with a trip rope attached to the tractor. But, around here, thirty or more years ago, a trip plow was one which had a trip mechanism on each bottom that would release upon hitting a rock or root etc., and would be reset by backing up until the bottom returned to working position. Some plow bottoms had the shear bolt protection, but were not referred to as trip bottom plows.
