[AT] plows

[Larry Goss]

Tell me it isn't so, Bruce.  Now that the subject is opened up, we may not close it until after Christmas.  I have a later edition of that same book and it includes all the classic  tow-behind John Deere plows, but no mounted or semi-mounted styles.  In addition, I have a couple old prints which detail 11 designs that pre-date the John Deere patents.
