blinwmi said: (quoted from post at 00:09:53 02/14/09) Yea, I hear shin used around here too some. Is the landside the piece at the back of the bottom that forms the furrow?
:) The "landside" is the long piece on the left side (assuming the plow turns the soil to the right) of the "bottom" that runs against the unplowed ground and keeps the "bottom" from being pushed to the left! Here's some more terminology!
Bottom = the plow unit, which consists of:
Beam = the curved or trussed bar that holds the
Frog = which has the following attached to it:
Share = the cutting edge that cuts the bottom of the furrow
Point = sometimes added to lead point of the share
Moldboard = long curved piece that actually rolls the soil over
Moldboard extension = extension to the outer end of moldboard, helps prevent the furrow slice from rolling back
Trash board = mini moldboard above shin to help cover rank vegetation
Shin = vertical cutting edge ahead of the moldboard cuts vertical edge of the furrow
Landside = as described above
Heel = wear piece sometimes attached to outer end of landside
Much of this information was taken from one of the operators manuals for JD moldboard plows, thanks John Deere. :roll: If you find any errors or omissions, don't blame me, blame JD! :shock: :roll: :lol: :lol:
There are a bunch more parts that are attached to various places on the plow units such as coulters, root cutters, trip bottoms, auto re-set bottoms, etc, but that's another topic for another day, and perhaps another poster :roll: :lol:
