the steel plow was invented in 1837 jv

add. The fully steel (or cast iron) plough was used in China from about the start of the C E (Current Era), and these are thought to be brought to Europe by Dutch sailors in the 17th century. They were certainly introduced into England by Dutch workers at that era.

The making of the mould board from iron rather than wood brought about ploughs with wheels to bear some of the weight, and this in turn led to the design of heavier ploughs capable of working heavy or hard soils.

The arrival of traction engines to replace horses, led to heavier and multiblade ploughs.
