Hill′side-plow.


Husbandry.) One which has a turning share, so as to plow on side-hill or sidling places, returning in the last-made furrow and throwing down hill each way. The plow shown in the example is turned at the headland or end of the furrow, and by the movement of a lever the share is turned over and one breast is put into its proper position for work while the other is raised and carried clear on the land-side. The colter is moved by a separate lever. Such plows in England are called turn-wrest plows.
