Seen at the EBR-1 Nuclear Power Plant Museum near Arco, ID, this is a different type of disc plow that was used to "break out" grasslands in Idaho for farming.





I can't even imagine how rough of a ride one would get while sitting on that seat, especially so if the land was a bit rocky.

Called a one way. I’ve seen many rusting away in rural areas.

We rented a pontoon on Tablerock lake today with friends to do some cruising and BSing.
It was a little warm with zero wind so had to keep on the throttle a bit to get air moving.
Overall a great day.

Cboss, sorry to hear about your Mom. That had to be terribly painful.

My mom could use some prayers if you're the type. Last night she tripped over one of those concrete parking space tire stops and broke both of her elbows, and at 81, she's in a lot of pain. She seems to be out of the woods as far as more serious complications, but I'm always concerned about the elderly when they fall. 2 years ago my dad fell out of bed and was dead 6 hours later.

Whoa, sorry to hear about your mom falling cboss. Sending prayers to her for a speedy recover.

Definitely used in "one way" operation, but the ones that I'm familiar with are much longer. Depending on the tractor, I've seen as many as two or three pulled together, but the longer ones have more than 12 discs per plow.

Part of Shoal Creek along the south side of Joplin, MO.

Modern one ways in your pic. The ones I see were used by early diesel tractors with maybe 40 hp. Gang of 4-6 discs that may be 24" or larger in diameter.

A view somewhere on the east side of Glacier National Park. Sadly, because we were working the roads in the park, I wasn't able to take many pictures. However, I do have some GoPro videos that were taken, but those are still being "evaluated," (mostly for listening to the audio for slightly profane words) before posting them to YouTube.
