horse-drawn plow
Pre-tractor field tool
A horse-drawn plow is a farming implement pulled by horses to break and turn soil for planting.
Before tractors, it was the primary tool for cultivating fields across most agricultural societies.
The farmer walks behind or rides, guiding the blade through the earth: His grandfather still remembered working behind a horse-drawn plow.
