Abstract:

The plow device is adjustable so that it can be pulled and operated by a powered tractor utilizing reciprocating lowering and lifting rods actuated by a 3 hitch hydraulic piston and piston rod attached to 3 respective hooks one hook pivotally connected to vertical posts and two oppositely disposed hooks connected to the opposed front ends of the frame of said plow device. The plow device has a pivotally connected shank connected by a pivot pin therethrough which also extends through horizontal side frame beams. The shank carries a plow blade point at its lower end which cuts levees, furrows or cultivates the ground with suitable kind of cultivating attachment. A pivotally connected L-shaped crank arm is pivotally connected by pivot pin through hole in said crank arm and matching holes in said horizontal side beams of the frame and the upper end of said crank arm has several adjustment holes spaced apart from each other for use attaching a pivotal member by pivot pin through a hole thereof and extending through one of the adjustment holes in the upper end of said crank arm. A hydraulically operated piston is actuated by hydraulic fluid in a cylinder by pipe and valves communicating with each end of the cylinder so that said piston may be actuated forward for drawing said crank arm forward to lift a trailing wheel from the ground for safely transporting said plow device and wheel to clear levees around sections of lands in a field to be cultivated for growing crops such as rice crops.
