Half-crouched, his arms wide to the plough handles, a man stalks them as they shear from the mouldboard.

Mouldboard plowing and harrowing are usual practices prior to caper plant establishment.

Another notable feature is the relatively short mouldboard, which lessens the amount of draft force necessary to pull the plow.

The ploughshare spread the cut horizontally below the surface, so when the mouldboard lifted it, a wider area of soil was turned over.

The reversible plough has two mouldboard ploughs mounted back-to-back, one turning to the right, the other to the left.

Curved 10mm mouldboard, reinforced with heavily gussetted corners for strength where it counts and higher clearance.

Dozer mouldboard reskins, bucket wear edges fitted and floor or side plate damage repairs.

For example, the use of sod turning, fertility destroying, mouldboard plows is almost unheard of there now.

Various graphs are used to find the effect of mouldboard shape, ploughing speed, compaction and soil type on plough draught.

The holding force is the weight of the sod, as it is raised and rotated, on the curved surface of the mouldboard.

A blue shield as background has a silver mouldboard with coulter hovers over sickle lying horizontally.

The landside would have been attached to the wooden plough structure supporting the curved mouldboard on the other side, that turned the sods.

Mouldboard ploughing to a depth of 15 cm (6") followed by thorough cultivation is recommended before planting any crop.

By the Han period, the entire ploughshare was made of cast iron; these are the first known heavy mouldboard iron ploughs.

In part this is linked to technological developments, such as the mouldboard plough, that made life in once undeveloped areas more bearable.

His team had all it could do to pull the moldboard through it.

That was a moldboard, and it was characteristic of this particular time.

One is that there are times when one needs to use something like a moldboard plough.

In the moldboard plow system however, the seedbank was more uniformly distributed over depth and was larger than the other systems.

Traditional ploughs turn the soil over in one direction, with the ploughshare and moldboard to the right (see Single-sided ploughing).
