THE SOD AND SUB-SOIL PLOW,
(Sometimes called the Michigan Plow,)
Consists of two plows on the same beam. The first inverts the sod to the depth of a few inches, and the hindmost plow brings up the lower soil, depositing it on the inverted sod.
FOR DEEP TILLAGE, especially on prairie land, this is superior to any of its competitors.
