Description: For a quick scoop of large areas in recent years began to use electric locomotives. At the electric plow on two sides of the plowed field there are two heavy metal carts. On each of them there is an electric motor, used for winding the steel wire rope of the trolley.
To the ends of the ropes of both trolleys, a double-sided swinging plow is attached with eight plows on each side. On the field are placed poles with wires that lead to electric motors from the station. And during the plowing, workers, on carts, take turns to start their engine, which pulls the plow to it.
After the plow has made a furrow, the tie rods are rolled forward by the same motors for the width of the plowed strip. Thus, the plow, moving from the trolley to the trolley, plows all the fields. It captures a strip one fathoms wide and can plow to a depth of 4 to 8 inches around one tenth of an hour.
At the Russian plants, 5 electric plows have already been manufactured and 15 more are being manufactured.
Since the spring of 1922 plowing by electric plows will be carried out near Moscow, Petrograd and Rostov on the Don.
The Electric Department is managed by the Central Division of Agriculture Electrification N.K.Z.
