drill plough

King George III visited Weylands farm in Hersham where he saw the first drill plough.

Amos's cheap and practicable drill plough was adopted by Arthur Young who in turn commended it to the Board of Agriculture and several others.

Patrick Miller was the first to introduce the turnips - Swedes from Sweden to Scotland, as well as the introduction of the threshing mill and the drill plough to Scotland.

The book then gives detailed instructions, accompanied by illustrations, for the construction of Amos's own drill machines (in two versions), a drill plough and two other devices (an expanding horse-hoe and scuffle).

The drill plough, which M. de Chateauvieux recommends to his readers, and which he used himself, is a most complicate machine, infinitely difficult to make, any where, and impossible to repair in a village, besides the first cost of it, being very considerable.
