 plow, of one or more diagonally-arranged ro- 

 tary plowing-disks, B B', and the landside C, 

 the latter consisting of a thin vertical blade in 

 the form of a shoe, constructed, adapted, and 

 arranged, substantially as shown and described, 

 to follow one of the said disks and to enter the 

 soil vertically near the land side of the furrow, 

 for preventing the tendency of lateral move- 

 ment of the plow, owing to the diagonal ar- 

 rangement of the plowing-disks, as set forth. 



2. The combination, with each other and 

 the beam or frame of a rotary wheeled plow, of 

 the pivoted and laterally-adjustable box H, 

 the wheel D, the hanger or stock E, entering 

 the said box and being rotary therein, and 

 carrying the said wheel, the lever I, applied 

 rigidly to the said box, and the adjustable seg- 

 ment J, substantially as and for the purposes 

 specified.

 the beam or frame of a rotary wheeled plow, 

 of the pivoted and laterally-adjustable box H, 

 having elongated trunnions b b, the bearings 

 F F, the adjustable collars c c, mounted on the 

 said trunnions, the wheel D, the rotary hanger 

 or stock E, and a lever and locking device for 

 controlling the inclination of the said box, for 

 the purposes set forth. 



4. The combination of the frame A, having 

 on its rear end the arms G G, the boxes F F, 

 the laterally-adjustable box H, having trun- 



nions b b, the wheel D, the hanger or stock E,

 ries of flat cutting disks arranged to operate in 

 the line of draft, but equidistant between the. 

 cutting points of the concavo-convex disks, 

 whereby the earth is first cut and then subdivid- 

 ed and turned over, substantially as described.
