	A steel plow underground !
		The steel plow passes along the coal seam and cuts off a slice of 5 to 10 centimetres each time.
		The steel plow is moved by heavy chains, it is electronically surveyed and after each time it passed along the face it is moved towards the coal seam again with high pressure together with the face chain.
		The chains moving the plow are under the cover behind the rail the steel plow is moving in.

	John Deere bio
		Deere was born in Rutland, Vermont, on February 7, 1804, the third son of William Rinold Deere and Sarah Yates Deere.
		John Deere was convinced that a plow that was highly polished and properly shaped could scour itself as it cut furrows.
		In 1850, approximately 1600 plows were made, and the company was soon producing other tools to complement its steel plow.

	Daniel Toy Makes First Steel Plow in Country (Pg 2); shelby county ohio historical society
		Steel plows were destined to revolutionize agriculture because they made tilling the fields much easier.
		Many early plows were formed here that put area farmers on the cutting edge of agriculture beginning in the early 1850's.
		The Toy plows were instrumental in constructing the roadbeds for the C. and D. railroad beginning in the 1850's.

		Steel plows still remained more costly than cast iron plows, but both were popular.
		The popularity of the Oliver Chilled Plow for American farmers is demonstrated in the The Henry Ford collections.
		Oliver Chilled Plow Works produced about 250,000 plows in their first fifteen years, and the plow remained popular into the twentieth century.

	John Deere History
		The story of John Deere, who developed the world's first commercially successful, self-scouring steel plow, closely parallels the settlement and development of the Midwestern United States, an area that the homesteaders of the 19th century considered the golden land of promise.
		Deere's steel plow proved to be the answer pioneer farmers needed for successful farming in what was then "the West." But his contribution to the growth of American agriculture far exceeded just the development of a successful steel plow.
		In 1846, the first slab of cast plow steel ever rolled in the United States was made for John Deere and shipped from Pittsburgh to Moline, Illinois, where it was ready for use in the factory Deere opened there in 1848 to take advantage of the water power and transportation offered by the Mississippi River.

		John Deere thought about it and was convinced that only a plow with mould board, made of good steel that isn't rusted would solve this problem.
		The steel plow was the first step to making farm equipment that we know today.

	Snowplowing-Contractors.com - Snow Plow Inspection Time
		You can see the A frame of this plow is bent right where the green circle is. It took 2 years, but the angle iron of the A frame cracked right where the center of the bend is. The stress finally got to be too much, and the metal let go.
		Because the owner never tipped up his plow, let alone inspected it, these problems were just waiting to rear their ugly heads in the middle of a storm, and they did.
		Although my plow needs to have the pivot pins and sleeves replaced, I could easily get a season out of it, but, when one of the pins does fail, you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be during a storm.

		This steel is fifteen percent stronger than Improved Plow Steel, and the tensile strength of this grade ranges from 280,000 to 340,000 psi.
		Traction steel has great resistance to bending fatigue with a minimum of abrasive force on sheaves and drums, which contributes to its long use in elevators, from which the steel gets its name.

		He fashioned such a plow in 1837, using the steel from a broken saw blade, and successfully tested it on the farm of Lewis Crandall near Grand Detour.
		This steel had to be shipped across the Atlantic Ocean by steamship, up the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers by packet boat, and overland by wagon 40 miles to the little plow factory in Grand Detour.

	Steel
		Phosphorus is found in trace amounts in all steel but should be minimised as it reduces impact resistance considerably at normal temperatures, in other words it is "cold short" and tends to crack.
		Sulfer improves the machinability of steel and reduces impact resistance at forging temperatures, so therefore it is said to be "hot short" and has a tendancy to crack.
		Such steels have a high tensile strength and elastic limit while at the same time retaining a measure of ductility.

		From his new customers Deere learned that the cast-iron plows they brought with them from the East were unable to cope with the thicker, tackier soil of the Midwest.
		While plowing, farmers had to stop every few feet to scrape off the damp earth that clung to the plowshare (the cutting blade).
		He shaped steel from an old sawmill blade for the plowshare, and joined it to a specially curved, wrought iron moldboard (the blade that lifts and turns the soil).

	Steel or Poly? - PlowSite.com - Snow Plowing & Ice Management Forum
		The term "poly plow" only applies to the moldboard surface itself, the moldboard frame and rest of the plow is still steel and therefore will require painting.
		This is because on a steel plow, the moldboard surface forms part of the structure (in essence, "unibody") while the poly plow moldboard frame has to be strong enough to carry all the load itself, therefore it's built heavier.
		You have to plow about 95% of the time going forward though as it weighs so little that when backplowing it goes about 1 foot and then rides up so you have about a 2" smooth packed mess to break up, usually by turning around and getting behind it and pushing to the street.
