| That looks like a bog harrow. I've never seen one in person, but I think they were for sticky ground and clay. Popular in places like Louisiana I think I've heard. |

That's a one way, used in the midwest, as a primary tillage tool, for prepping arid wheatlands for seeding. Also great for moving gravel off a shoulder of a dirt road, prior to grading the road. The way to tell the difference between a one way, and a disk plow, is that a one-way has a common axle, while a DP has independent bearings, on each disc, and are usually spaced further apart...
