The introduction of horsepower and the heavy iron plow significantly transformed farming on manors by increasing efficiency and productivity. Horses, being faster and stronger than oxen, could plow fields more quickly, allowing for larger areas to be cultivated in shorter time frames. The heavy plow, designed for the dense clay soils of northern Europe, enabled deeper tillage, improving soil fertility and crop yields. Together, these advancements facilitated the transition to more intensive farming practices, ultimately supporting population growth and the expansion of medieval economies.

John deere invented the steel plow in 1837
A plow is used to plough. Other than that there is not much to do besides using a plow to plough. There are some bigger machines that can do things similar to the plow but the plow is the only hand tool used.
It was a plow, it was a heavy plow and made the work load easier to do
yes, the heavy plow was invented in the year 600 during the middle ages!

Carruca
JOHN DEERe's improved on Jothero Wood plow because he made a plow that had replaceable parts, but John Deere made a plow that he invented. His plow was a lightweight steel plow. But each plow had an heavy iron or wooden handles that was held on by slow-moving oxen's, or a horse. But they mostly used Horses back than because the Horses can get the field plowed quicklier than the slow-moving oxens.
Watermills, rotation of crops, AND heavy plow
A carruca is an Iron plow used to turn over heavy soil. It helped drain extra water. It was pulled by oxen.

1. A new horse collar, it spread the weight around the shoulders and chest rather than the throat. 2. Horseshoes, it's an iron shoe that's nailed to the horse's hooves, made it easier for horses to pull the heavy plow through the rocky and heavy clay soil of northern Europe.
The main benefit was to make the soil grounded to sand size. When the plow was brought to the plain, a lot of terrain could be planted. But the bad thing came in the 1930's. The plains got the trough and the dust bowls started.
The 1500 / 1/2 ton truck is not heavy enough and the snow plow will destroy the front end parts and probley even get the transmission sooner are later. You NEED a 3/4 ton / 2500 or heaver for a plow. It would be a hole lot less were on the intire truck.
