A reversible plow comprising a three point hitch, a pivotally mounted tool bar provided with a plurality of adjustable plow gangs, and gauge wheels wherein said tool bar can be shifted from left of center to right of center, and back, by a hydraulic piston such that the plowed ground can be directed in a desired direction.
A main frame is secured to a tractor for towing wherein the main frame is tilted as the tractor tilts to one side or the other of the path of travel. A ball and socket joint suspends the tool bar by its central portion from the main frame so that the tool bar can swing from a position angling forwardly and to one side to a second position angling forwardly and to the other side. The moldboards being fixed to an suspended below the tool bar cause the tool bar to rotate about its longitudinal axis automatically swing by gravity to upright positions for plowing, regardless of the tilt of the main frame. A latch plate latches the tool bar in its rotated position on the frame. The tool moldboards have clamps which are adjustable along the length of the tool bar for adapting the plow to wide wheel or narrow wheel base tractors.

An apparatus and method of drying crops, the apparatus having a central heating system in which air is forced in a vertical path, downwardly, by a blower, across a heater and into a lower plenum chamber. A flapper valve in the plenum chamber regulates the ratio of heated air to be distributed to the flexible heated air ducts. A plurality of barns radially disposed, around the heater are respctively connected to the heated air ducts and are also connected to the upper plenum chamber of the heating system, via return air ducts. Fresh air is introduced through the upper plenum chamber. Each barn has a carriage consisting of wheels and axles and a tongue by means of which the barn is pulled by a tractor or other prime mover. The housing of each barn is mounted on the carriage and has a front door and a removable top. The crop to be collected and dried, if tobacco, is placed on racks and, if, peanuts or a grain, is through the open top, after the roof has been removed.

Abstract:
A reversible plow having a plurality of spring-biased trip assemblies for mounting moldboards to a tool bar, the trip assemblies having angled, elongate slots and a pivot pin extending therethrough and adapted to allow a tripped assembly to be reset without compressing a compression spring.
A reversible plow comprising a three point hitch, a pivotally mounted tool bar provided with a plurality of adjustable plow gangs, and gauge wheels wherein said tool bar can be shifted from left of center to right of center, and back, by a hydraulic piston such that the plowed ground can be directed in a desired direction. The hitch includes a hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly for shifting the plow frame and tool bar about a central longitudinal axis with respect to the tractor, thereby maintaining the plow in a horizontal position even though one rear wheel of the tractor is in the plowed furrow.
