Another agricultural query

A farmer usually had fields that adjoined each other and for crossing pastureland and old lanes  the farmer only had to move a large wooden lever to lift the plough and lower a wheel.

Ploughs were also moved around the farm on a 'sledge' - like a child's sledge, but large and robust enough to take the weight of a plough and be dragged over rough ground.

  Thanks for these replies - plenty of food for thought. I must pay closer attention to the horse ploughing next time I get to a match!
