vantages of the invention, it is of the utmost
importance that the colter be located so that
its active edge is in line with the cutting
edge of the plowshare or slightly in the rear
5 thereof. The colter inclines slightly from
the vertical, so as to occupy a position about
at right angles to a transverse element of the
plowshare, so that the slice of earth may pass
by the colter and over the moldboard with-
io out being impeded to any perceptible extent
by the presence of the colter.
It is the intention to locate the colter so that
it will subdivide the slice equally, but, if pre-
ferred, it may be arranged to one side or the
15 other of the medial line. The depth of the
cut may be varied by adjusting the colter
vertically, which is effected by moving the
standard 5 vertically and securing it in the
located position by means of the clip 7. The
20 adjustable connection of the plate 3 with the
bent end of the standard 5 admits of the col-
ter being moved laterally, whereby the re-
quired position with reference to the size of
the plow may be secured.
25 The landside-colter 10 is of ordinary con-
struction and arrangement and is supposed
to operate in advance of the plow to cut the
sod, turf, and ground, whereby the furrow is
readily formed and the slice turned. This
30 feature forms no part of the present inven-
tion and is shown to distinguish more clearly
the present invention from the prior art and
to avoid confusion of the part 1 with the or-
dinary rotary colter, as 10.
35 Having thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new is-
1. The combination with a plow, of a ro-
tary colter or disk cutter located about mid-
way between the inner and outer edges of the
40 plowshare and having its lower cutting edge
directly above and about in line with the cut-
ting edge of the said plowshare, whereby the
slice of earth formed in turning the furrow
is subdivided longitudinally, substantially in
45 the manner set forth for the purpose specified.
2. The combination with a plow, of a ro-
tary colter placed above the plowshare about
midway of its inner and outer edges and in-
clining from the vertical and having its lower
50 cutting edge about in line with the cutting
edge of the plowshare, substantially as and
for the purpose specified.3. The combination with a plow, of- a ro-
tary colter located above the plowshare about
midway of its inner and outer edges with its 55
lower active edge about in line with the cut-
ting edge of the said plowshare, and mounted
in a movable frame or support to adapt itself
to the line of travel and direction of strain,
substantially as set forth. 6o
4. The combination with a plow, of a ro-
tary colter located above the plowshare about
midway of its inner and outer edges and hav-
ing the lower portion of its cutting edge about
in line with the cutting edge of the plowshare, 65
and adjustable mountings for the said rotary
colter to admit of it being moved vertically
and laterally, substantially as described for
the purpose set forth.
5. The combination with a plow, of a stand- 70
ard having its lower end bent at an inclina-
tion to the horizontal, a plate adjustably con-
nected with the bent end of the standard, and
formed with a pendent arm, a frame mounted
to turn upon the said arm, and a rotary colter 75
journaled to the said frame and located above
the plowshare about midway of its inner and
outer edges with the lower portion of its cut-
ting edge about in line with the cutting edge
of the plowshare, substantially as described 8o
for the purpose set forth.
6. The combination with a plow, of a stand-
ard having its lower end bent at an inclina-
tion to the horizontal, means for adjustably
connecting the standard with the plow-beam, 85
a plate having a pendent arm, means for ad-
justably connecting the plate with the bent
end of the standard, a frame mounted to turn
loosely upon the said pendent arm, and a ro-
tary colter journaled to the said frame and 90
normally inclining from the vertical and ar-
ranged above the plowshare about midway of
its inner and outer edges with its lower active
edge about in line with the cutting edge of
the said plowshare, substantially in the man- 95
ner and for the purpose specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own I have hereto affixed my signature in
the presence of two witnesses.
