Plows have been in use by farmers for hundreds of years and are one of the most significant agricultural inventions ever. As with other agricultural tools, the first plows were dragged by humans and livestock, but as technologies progressed, more modern plows were able to be attached to and pulled by tractors thus improving efficiency and production rates. Both new and used plows for sale are utilized for primary tillage to cut through and turn over soil and bury weeds and crop residue, improve field drainage, and prepare the field for planting.
There are several different types of plows today.
