Ploughs.
Long ago the people had timber ploughs.These ploughs are made like the ones we have nowadays.The head to where the swiinletrees are tide on to is called the "rackeen".This was made of iron and the sock was made mettle.The rest was all timber.
There was two boards left down on top of each other.Then there was another board going out slant ways called the board.There was then two long handles with two big rungs one down near the board and the other up near the handles.- Collector
