My guess is its a two way plow. Ie it the plow either has two separate bottoms such as on a b/c or is a rollover like the later mounted allis plows. These plows were typically used in hills so you alway turned your furrow up hill.

As I understand it, a Hillside plow usually had an hydraulic adjustable bar that slide sideways to bring the plow closer or farther from furrow down on the 3pt hitch assembly.

If this "paste" works, you will learn all you could ever need to about hill side plows.

My grandpa plowed with a Syracuse. We played with it as kids. It finally rusted away to nothing.

We have a 5 bottom 3 point Oliver plow that we call a hillside plow. There is a cylinder on the front that moves the plow side ways about 12-18". This is so when you are plowing along a side hill and the plow is not up close enough to the last furrow plowed you can slide it up the hill to get the first furrow laid against the last furrow. This keeps you from having a gap in the furrows.

I have a picture of an Oliver plow like that. It was in a park like area at a Mill and restaurant on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
