Operating out of Mascot, Sydney, BRITSTAND played a significant role in the development of machinery tailored to Australia's unique agricultural and construction needs.
A horse-drawn single plough is a manually guided farming implement by a person and pulled by one or more horses (sometimes oxen), used to turn over the soil in preparation for planting crops. It digs a single furrow (hence “single plough”) with each pass.
Ploughshare: The cutting blade that slices into the soil.
Mouldboard: Turns the cut soil over to the side, forming a furrow.
Landside: Keeps the plough steady and resists sideways pressure.
Beam: Long timber or metal bar connecting the plough to the harness.
Handles: Two vertical handles used by the ploughman to guide the plough.
Coulter (optional): A knife or disc that cuts the soil ahead of the ploughshare for a cleaner slice.
