This type of plow required two horses and could plow up to 12 inches deep. It came into popularity long after the original moldboard plow was invented and modified several times. The rolling moldboard or disc plow became popular on area farms that had been in existence a generation or more. Many rocks had been removed from the fields and the soil was more manageable. Thus the disc plows had the advantage of encountering less resistance while doing the same job as the moldboard plow.
